Gina K Designs Release

Hello everybody! Thanks for stopping by today because I have a clean and simple card to share with you today. I'm using the brand new Winter Window stamp set from Gina K Designs. Now, this set has some really beautiful elements that can be used to build a window scene complete with a window treatment,  trees in the distance and beautiful birds. There are also coordinating dies! There is so much you can do with this set but for today I decided to keep it simple.

I stamped the tree in black onto watercolor paper. Then I watercolored with my Karin markers.

I started out by watercoloring the ribbon and ornaments before moving on to coloring the tree. After that I watercolored the presents. It was so hard for me to do but I managed to leave the background white.

I heat embossed my sentiment in black and then I popped my panel up on a light blue card base.

Ok you guys! That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here soon!

Picket Fence Studios STAMPtember Release

Hi everybody! I'm popping in with a fun card from the lates Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release! Now it's Picket Fence Studio's turn to join the fun with an adorable cat stamp set called, Sarcastic Kitties. You can get just the stamp set, or, go big and get the stamp and die bundle.

I decided to go with a mixed media look for my mini-slimline card. I grabbed a watercolored, galaxy background from my stash and then added some gold mousse through the SSS Circle Dots Stencil to add a little texture and shine.

Then I watercolored on of the cats from the set using my Karin markers. I only used two colors ( a gray and a pink) but I was able to mix them to achieve a range of shades.

I heat embossed my sentiment in black  and added some extra detail to the background with a black posca pen. Then I adhered the cat to my card with foam tape, attached the background to a black cardbase, and called it good!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have an awesome day and I'll see you all back here soon!
