You've got this

 Happy Sunday friends!  I'm here today with another slimline card featuring a svg cut file from My Scrap Chick.  I may have mentioned my excitement for the availability slimline svgs.  I had to use this as soon as I got it downloaded to my computer!

I am in LOVE with this card!  I had absolutely no plan when I started.  I grabbed some stamps, some inks, some dies and the cut file and just played around.

The lattice layer is cut from white cardstock.  The solid layer is actually navy, not black.  Then layered onto a white card base.  

The flower and leaves are from Altenew's Zig Zag Floral set.  I stamped the flowers using Altenew's Golden Sunset mini ink cubes set.  The leaves were stamped using Altenew's Lapis Lazuli mini ink cubes set.  My mini Misti came in really handy to help me line up the stamp layers.  The gray centers were stamped with Smoky Slate and Basic Gray inks from Stampin Up.

The sentimet is from Gina K Design's Just Because stamp set.  I used the darkest blue ink from the Lapis Lazuli ink set.  I stamped it onto a stitched diamond die from Gina Marie Designs.

I don't have the dies yet that match the Zig Zag Floral set so I fussy cut them out using my favorite scissors from EK Success, Cutter Bee.  I laid all of my pieces out and messed around until I was happy with the layout.  I used a piece of Glad Press 'n Seal to pick up all of my pieces.  I flipped it over and carefully lifted the edges of pieces so I could glue the pieces together.  Then I added liquid glue all over the back of the whole cluster.  I picked up the piece of Press 'n Seal and laid it in place.  I gave it a firm press a let it sit for a minute or so before I peeled off the Press 'n Seal.

The picture does not pick it up but I gave the whole card a spritz with Imagine Crafts Sheer Shimmer Spray in "Sparkle".

Oh, if you want to get your hands on the lattice svg cut file you can snag it from the My Scrap Chick store HERE.  It includes four different lattice pieces, the layering piece and the card base!

Thanks for stopping in!

Coloring Challenge day 13

Hi one and all!  I've got a quick post to share with you today!  I have been playing along with Kathy Racoosin's 30 day coloring challenge and I actually completed a full card!  You can find more details about the challenge on Kathy's blog right HERE.  The main point is just that you color a little bit every day for 30 days in a row.  That's it!  Five minutes all you have?? Fine!  Colored one leaf?  Awesome!  Can't play every day?  No problem!  Play along when you can!  Super easy and super fun!

So, here's my project for today!

I started by smooshing three different colors of Distress Oxide inks directly onto watercolor cardstock.  I used Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves.  I then sprayed it liberally with a pearl shimmer spray.  I soaked up bits here and there with a paper towel and dryed it with my heat gun.  I felt a few spots were splotchy yet so I repeated.  Once it was dry, I sprayed it with clean water and blotted it up with a paper towel.  Then I just stared at it.  It was lovely but I had no clue what to do with it!

I looked around on my very messy craft desk and a stamp set jumped out at me.  It's from Gina K Designs and is called Through Thick and Thin.  You can find it on Gina's website HERE.  I stamped the images using my Misti just in case I didn't get good coverage since I was stamping on watercolor paper.  Once that was finished I thought about it a little more.  What could I do to add a little something extra to this piece?  Copic markers!!  I took T3 and T1 and went around the outside of all the flowers.  I loved it so much I also added the same two colors to the shadowed areas of the stamp.

Then I couldn't decide where to put a sentiment over all of that loveliness, so I didn't!  I cut it out with two different stitched rectangle dies from MFT stamps.  The outside layer I adhered directly to the card base and used craft foam on the center layer.  I happened to have a little baggie of sequins laying out that were the perfect accent.  And that's it!

One close up picture just because!

Hope you find time to join in!
