It's beginning to look Nautical

Hello fellow stampers.  Yesterday was Canada's birthday and so I celebrated by being at the marina in our new boat.  My cousin and I swam in the cold pool and we enjoyed fireworks while sitting on the boat.

Now that I'm around today, I am posting this card, which shows last month's new release Nautical Doodles.  I added a die cut anchor and the sentiment Enjoy Every Moment.

In case you missed the new release I am showing you one of the cards that I coloured with Copic markers and coloured with Prismacolor pencil crayons.

My card uses Shells and Starfish and from an older release Seahorses, set of 4.  I used the sentiment that came with the set of 4 stamps.

New Release stamps are 15% off until July 8th and if you use my code TJ10Beth, you will receive an additional 10% off.  Any other product you purchase, minus clearance items, are 10% off with my code.

Flourished Floral

Hello lovely peeps!  Lynda Joy here, with a card for your inspiration.

Stamps:  Flourished Floral
              In My Prayers

I love the look of white embossing on kraft card stock.  It really pops out, don't you think?  

I white embossed the Flourished Floral image onto the kraft, then stamped it again onto watercolor paper.  I water colored the flower, and fussy-cut it, adding it to the embossed panel with foam tape.

I stamped the In My Prayers verse onto a piece of patterned paper, added the strip to white, then attached it with foam tape, as well.  I used a marker to color the berries.

I added the panel onto a piece of the same patterned paper, then onto an A2 card front.

Inside:

I hope you like my card, and were inspired to create something today.   To get this stamp, or anything else at the Technique Junkies store, just use my code, TJ10Lynda, for a 10% discount on your entire purchase!

Hydrangeas

Hello Junkies!

It's Ceal here to share with you a card I made using this beautiful Hydrangea stamp from our June release. You can save 10% on this stamp and your entire order by using my code TJ10Ceal

I am currently at at Junkiefest and I hope that this post makes it to the blog.

To create this card I stamped the image using black hybrid ink and then colored it using Copic markers 

Why Fit In?

I love watercolouring cards! I pulled out a yellow, orange a brown to paint up the fun giraffe, then a blue to give him a bit of a loose messy background to be standing in.

The Why Fit In set is absolutely perfect for reminding yourself you are not suppose to be like everyone else!

Beach Day

Are you dreaming of a beach day? I always want to be on the beach! Here is a beachy card to help you dream. It features Underwater Borders Set of 3 (SS107) and Beach Day (SDX071).

I stamped the image on an A2 card base using Versamark and white embossing powder. I then brushed on Distressed Oxide Ink (Peacock Feathers). I faded out the ink about 2/3 the way to the top. I added a piece of washi tape then embossed the sentiment on that and added some random Nuvo Dew Drops to the top to finish off the card.

I love this border set. There are three beautiful scenes included.

So if you're dreaming of making some beachy cards, this is definitely the set for you. You can even save 10% on your TJ order by entering the code TJ10Ro at checkout! 

Hope you found a little inspiration today!

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

Beautiful Hydrangeas

Hello all, Kia back with you today.

I wanted to watercolour this beautiful Hydrangea image for my post today, and decided I would use my watercolour palette.

 I started by stamping the image using my mini Misti and Ranger Archival ink in Jet Black on watercolour paper. 

My personal watercolour palette holds a mix of different brands. I pick my choices by the colour, not the brand, so I have Winsor Newton, Schmincke, DaVinci and Daniel Smith. 

The leaves are done using Sch Cad Yellow Lt, WN Sap Green, Sch May Green and DS Green Apatite. For the soil I used WN Raw Sienna and Burnt Umber. The flowers are done using DS Lemon Yellow, touches of DaVinci Leaf Green and DS Quinacridone Pink. I finished up by adding a bit of Nuvo Shimmer Midas Touch to the flowers.

I had a nice lazy couple of hours painting this. I have several layers of watercolour, and I like to let the paint dry naturally, so it takes some time. To finish I added my panel to a green card base matted with black, then using the Life is Beautiful stamp I heat embossed using white embossing powder in black card stock. I attached it to the card front using foam squares. 

Thank you for joining me today.
