Glorious Geometry

Howdy fellow crafters!  I hope you are having an amazing day!  Today I have a bold and beautiful card to share.  It features the gorgeous Glorious Geometry set from Rachel Vass Designs.  It can be found in her Etsy shop right HERE.

Let's check out my card!


I really was able to make the blooms the very center attention by coloring everything EXCEPT the blooms!  It's a really neat technique.  Also, don't be afraid to go BIG!  That's one of the many great things about digital stamps.  Make them whatever size fits your creativity!

I totally went outside my color comfort zone with this split complementary combination.  Thank you color wheel!  I colored everything using Copic markers.  The colors I used were Y32, Y35, Y38, YG07, YG05, YG01, YG11, V09, V17, V15 and T10.

I added a bit of glossy accents to all of the flower centers and called it done.  I added the panel to a black card base to really make it pop.  I may be in love with this card...




Anywho, thanks SO much for stopping by!  Oh, don't forget to check out the Rachel Vass Designs store today!

Toodles!

Birthday Dogs

Welcome back to my crafty corner!  Today I'm playing 2 Cute Ink's June Patreon exclusive digi stamps.  They are called Birthday Dogs and boy are they cute!  You can find out all of the details on how to join and get access to these cuties HERE.

Here are the two cards I created!





My backgrounds are all gel prints that I created.  I used them as the inspiration for the colors I used on my cards.  I wanted to show you can have lots of color and details on your cards without actually doing a lot of coloring.

I really love the versatility that digital stamps give you.  Make them big.  Make them small.  Do whatever works for you!

Come join the cutest digitial stamp club ever!  If you want to see what the June exclusive set looks like, you can go HERE.  And the direct link to the Patreon page is HERE.


Have a craft-tastic day!

Magical

Hey Friends!  Have you seen the June release from Scrappy Tails Crafts yet??  It's SO amazing!!  The theme is Midsummers Nights Dream.  Think fairies, flowers and magical!  You can check it all out right HERE.

And I want to mention the incentive offers while they are still available.


Now let's take a look at my card.


As part of their new release, Scrappy Tails has added stencils to their line up and I'm just giddy about it!

I used the stand alone layer from the Starry Night set.  Of course it needs to sparkle so I used two different colors of Glitter Glitz Gel.  They are Lovely Lavender and Wild Lilac.


I didn't cover the whole panel.  I tried to make it an oval-ish shape.  I set the panel aside to dry.  I stamped the word "Magical" from the Fairy Sentiments set with Versamark ink.  Then I sprinkled on silver embossing powder and used my heat tool.  

Next I cut out the word with the matching die from the Fairy Sentiments dies set.  This die set includes a cut out for the word, including swirly details, and a shadow layer.  I cut the shadow layer out of a patterned vellum I had in my stash.  I took the V09 Copic marker and colored the backside of the vellum.

I glued the "magical" word on top of the vellum and added a bunch of foam tape on the backside.  I used the cardstock areas to mask the foam tape.  Let's just say I cut lots of tiny pieces.  


Now we're ready to build a card!  I cut a piece of metallic purple cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and glued it to a top fold, A2, white card base.  Then I added the glitter panel and finally the sentiment.

To complete the card I stamped "You are" from the Fairy Sentiment set using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.  I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, melted it, cut it down, and added it to the card.  It's totally magical!


You've gotta check out the new release!  And don't forget, you can use code STCBLOG to get 10% off your order!

Happy crafting!
