Post 255: Encouragement Card

Hi friends :)

How are you? How has the weekend been for you? I've had a hectic week and it doesn't seem to be letting up :) but I like the work so its all good. Today, I will be sharing an encouragement card I made while Guest Designing for CrafTreat Stencils. The full post can be checked out here. 

I've done ink blending in the background using distress oxides and then blended black soot distress ink through the Buddha stencil. Then just stamped the sentiment in black. I really love that quote, "Be the light that helps others see".

List of Supplies:

Distress Oxides- Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade

Cream, White & Black Cardstock 250 gsm

Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad 

CrafTreat Buddha Stencil 

Stamplorations Stamp- True North (Shery Russ Designs)

Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die 

Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue

Here is a photo of the card:

Post 206: Card- Cup of Roses

Hi Friends :)

First up, let me wish Stamplorations a very happy birthday :) They are celebrating their 4th birthday. Here is my wishlist from them (Its a long list because I love so many of their products :) )
You can check out their birthday celebrations here



Today, I'd like to share a card I made using a new stamplorations stamp set I hadn't inked up yet. I wanted the loose artsy water colored look in this :)
The sentiment is beautiful, it reads "May your worries be light, your joy be great and your cup overflow" I have kept the colors of the flowers warm in reds and peaches to depict summer and the background is cooler colors.

List of Supplies:

Stamplorations Stamp- A cup of roses
Cutplorations- Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die
Canson Watercolor Paper
Iris White Cardstock 250 gsm
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Aqua Brush
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
Tombow Mono Multi Glue

Here are a couple of photographs of the card:
