Creative Cupcakes Birthday Wishes

Image
Whimsy Stamps has released another set of gorgeous Quick Card Fronts - Creative Cupcakes. In addition to these there is also a new Word and Shadow die - Birthday Wishes. I am showcasing both on my two creations today. On my first card I used the Birthday Wishes Word and Shadow die as sentiment for my shaker card. The background is made from a panel of the Creative Cupcakes Quick Card Fronts. The shaker frame uses the Rectangle Shaker Maker die set and I embellished the frame with the candles included in the Birthday Wishes Word and Shadow die set. I cut them out from white glitter paper and colored the flames with alcohol markers. All together a fairly quick shaker card! The shaker mix I used is my own mix using several products from 'This Calls For Confetti' . On my second card I used the full sheet of one of the Creative Cupcakes QCFs. I added the Weirdo - Frame die cut out in a matching lavender color and the matching dots from white glitter paper. I added one of the inc

Hello Beautiful ~ No-Line Watercoloring

Image
Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Tuesday! I have a cute card to share today where I am using the adorable Bunnies in the Garden stamp set from  Whimsy Stamps '  Crissy Armstrong Collection. It is a rather simple card where I put the focus on the images and the no-line watercolor technique. I first stamped the cute bunny image onto Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media paper using a very light colored ink (I used Altenew Crisp Ink in Vanilla) . Then I used the coordinating No-Fuss Masks to cover my stamped image before stamping the FaDoodle Blooms in the background with the same ink. I used my ink based Karin Brush Marker Pro pens to color the images in the no-line watercolor technique. Usually I like to use a waterbrush together with the Karin markers but with the no-line technique I prefer a regular brush (I Used an Escoda round, size 2 brush). After I was done coloring I put the no-fuss mask back over the bunny image before sprinkling black and gold paint all over the images. Then
