Today I'm revisiting a fun technique I haven't done for awhile, watercoloring with Distress Inks! I used the gorgeous new So Beautiful Background Stamp and added sympathy sentiments. The great thing about this background is that it can be used for any theme or occasion!

The flowers were watercolored with Distress Inks and a water brush pen. The background was watercolored with Cracked Pistachio Re-inker and a water brush pen. I allowed the background to completely air dry before die cutting with a Basic Rectangles Die.

Hello friends! The latest release from Simon Says Stamp, Crafty Hugs, is now available! I'm sharing two soft rainbow stenciled and background stamped backgrounds thank you cards featuring several new products from the new release. I am always needing thank you cards and the new Extra Large Thank You is incredible. The two new stencils from the release: Geo Leaves and Radiant Hearts are sure to be new favorites!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these stamp and stencil layered backgrounds cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Both cards feature a similar pastel rainbow stenciled technique but feature different background stencils. I love how you can achieve similar results with different products!
For my first card, I stenciled the Radiant Hearts Stencil on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" smooth white panel with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, and Cracked Pistachio. I removed the stencil (temporarily held in placed with Pixie Spray) and applied a light layer of ink over the stenciled designs with the same ink colors.
The Thank You Text was stamped over the stenciled background with white pigment ink.
The Extra Large Thank You Dies were die cut 3 times from smooth white cardstock and adhered one on top of another for a dimensional, bold greeting.
A sentiment from the US of Craf-ay Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The phrase was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.
The design was finished with a scattering of Rainbow Sequins.
The second card features the Geo Leaves Stencil. The rest of the card was created exactly like the first design.

Hello friends! Today I am guesting over on the Simon Says Stamp blog with these lift ink butterfly backgrounds cards featuring the June 2020 Card Kit, Beautiful Butterflies. The gorgeous designs from the Beautiful Butterflies 6x8 Stamp Set make the most fantastic ghosted backgrounds on these rainbow alcohol inked beauties!

All three cards are the same basic design but feature different alcohol ink colors and greetings. I purposely created a rainbow effect with my three cards, even though a "rainbow" isn't featured on the individual designs. 🌈❤️
Tim Holtz Idea-ologyTypography Findings were used to create the greeting. I glued them in place with Glossy Accent and positioned them easily with a pair of craft tweezers.
A sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies 6x8 Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into a strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

A greeting from the Simon Says Stamp Thanks and Encouragment Word Mix 1 Stamp Set was stamped on FSJ Black Licorice Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was added to the card with foam adhesive. I love how the bold black greeting is small enough to not take away from the awesome rainbow thank you background but makes a statement against the bright colors!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Today I'm showcasing brand new Mama Elephant stamps and dies from the May 2020 Release to create this lovely Botanic Envelope Card. Background die cutting, masking, inking, stenciling, and texture are the perfect way to showcase this envelope full of beautiful botanicals!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of this botanic envelope card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Without removing the mask, the Heffy Doodle Brick By Brick Stencil was placed over the top and Ranger Grit Paste was applied using a palette knife. I purposely didn't apply an "even" application of the Grit Paste so the bricks have a bit more of an "aged" character! The masks were removed and the masks and palette knife washed immediately with warm water to remove any excess Grit Paste.
The Botanic Envelope was die cut from smooth white cardstock and inked with Pinkfresh Studio Summer Shower and Seaside inks. The pieces were assembled s shown for the detailed envelope.
Flowers from the Stems and Sprigs were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Red: Deep Red, Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green
Pink: Red, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green
Purple: Deep Violet, Violet, Light Violet, Green, Light Green
Yellow Orange: Scarlet Red, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Green, Light Green
The flowers were die cut with the coordinating Stems and Sprigs dies and the flowers and greenery were tucked into the Botanic Envelope. The envelope was adhered to the background with foam adhesive and the entire panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.
