Light remains

Hello friends!! Giovana here today, hope you all are having a great day!

Today I want to share with you a sympathy card, this kind of card is the one I don't make often, but I need one to send to a sweet lady who just lost her daddy from cancer.

Plus I used a brand new stamps and several Shimmering Bliss!!

Details:

This card was pretty easy to make, I wanted something simple yet elegant, and I think I got it.

• Start misting a piece of watercolor paper with Harvest Sunset, Wine Stain and Luscious Lawn Shimmering Bliss. Set aside to dry.
• Stamp Light Remains sentiment on the Black Stazon Ink.
• Using a stencil, here I used Circles makes Circles, and Pearlescent Embossing Pate, apply it on top and bottom of panel.
• Die-cut few butterflies and add to panel.
• TIP: Anytime I use my sprays, I keep a piece of cardstock underneath, I used part of the gold piece to die-cut the butterflies.

Never Stop Believing

Hi!   Jeanne here today.

I think everyone that knows me well knows that I'm all about the animals and funny, punny and quirky things. Well, today's card is both with an added bonus since I've been a Journey fan since I was in high school. I squealed a little bit when I saw the Inside Out - Patience set!

I used a the Distressed Glue technique (this is one of our previous challenges and you can see the tutorial HERE) for my background and then stamped the Attitude Giraffes over the top. I used gel pens to created their colorful glasses.

Take a Walk on the Beach

Hello TJ Friends!

Goodness, this summer is just flying by!  As this post goes live, I will be with about 129 other papercrafters at a retreat in Minneapolis.  I am hoping to come back refreshed and with new ideas and MOJO!
Today's card is all about the beach!  You can still get your 'beachy' stamps at a discounted price using code TJ10LeeAnn. 

This was super fun to make as I did some good old fashioned paper piecing.  I stamped the
Flip Flops Stamp onto some fun striped paper and then did some fussy cutting.
Next, I got to work on making the background scene. I used Copics for this.  To give the shoreline some sea foam, I used the very end of a brush to 'tap' on white acrylic paint.
The sand is also done with Copics.  At first it looked like a hot mess, but the more I worked it, the better it became.  The sentiment from the Seashells Set of 5 was stamped in brown on the sand, using my MISTI for perfect placement.
The ocean background was adhered to the card base.  I positioned my flip flops behind the sand and then adhered them to the back of the sand panel.  The sand panel was then popped up on dimensional tape and adhered to the card.
The final touch is the little flower sequins that I added to the flip flops.  I have had these for at least two years and this is the first I am using them!
That's it for me!  I have to get back to my classes and make and takes!

Remember, f you should want to shop (ahem, who does not want to shop?! )   you can get 10% off of your entire order with code TJ10LeeAnn.

Have a wonderful week and I hope I have inspired you to create something today!

Jelly Fish

Hello Technique Junkies! 

I have a card to share with you today using a couple sets from Technique Junkies Stamps. Remember you can save 10% on your entire order excluding new releases and clearance by using my code TJ10Ceal.

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base, a mat cut a little smaller using Coastal Cabana cardstock and a watercolor panel on which I water-cooled the jellyfish image. 

I stamped the Jellyfish on some watercolor paper and colored it using distress inks, I also used the Nuvo glitter markers as well. 

The greeting is from the Fairy Tale Flowers set.

So cute  I think you should make more as you suggested
