The great thing about making this a slimline card is that the extra space provides the perfect spot for the greetings from the stamp set! I love the space between the trees for the stamped and embossed greetings.
Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks were applied over the masked images to create the night sky.
The masks were removed and the images were colored with the following Copic Markers:
The stars were finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard. The eyes were finished with a Sakura Black Pen and Signo Uniball Pen. Silver Stars were scattered throughout the background and a small heart embellishment was glued in place under the greetings.

Welcome! Thank you for joining me here on my blog. Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I created a couple of months ago using the Waffle Flower Monochrome Stamp Set and new coordinating dies and sharing a rainbow inked background for the mostly black and white images. Let's get started!
I love that Waffle Flower released dies for the Monochrome Stamp Set. Now you can easily die cut all the cute little images! I stamped the animals from the set using Black Dye Ink. The sheep with the white body was customized with a heart outline and then the solid red heart stamped with Waffle Flower My Pleasure Ink.
I created cloud borders for the bottom of each card with the Scenery Dies, die cutting two borders for each card. On the border in the front, I stamped a greeting and the heart image from the Monochrome Stamp Set using Black Dye Ink. I colored in the little heart with a red marker.
The animals were tucked in between the two cloud borders and the thought bubbles attached to the card as shown. Glossy accents was used to add detail to the eyes and hearts.

I can't get enough of mermaid cards, shaker cards, or the awesome Ocean Scene Builder stencils. So why not use them all on this underwater mermaid scene shaker card?!!! Many times when I create shaker scene cards, I like for the frame of the shaker to blend seamlessly into the inside of the shaker for a continuous scene.
For the background I painted watercolor cardstock with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. Once the background was completely dry (I used a heat tool to speed up dry time), I layered more of the paint on top through the Ocean Scene Builder Stencils for an awesome underwater ocean look. These stencils are fabulous for creating that light filtering effect!
Once dry, I die cut a rectangle from the center of the panel using an A2 Double Stitched Frame Die. The center background piece was adhered to a white top fold card base using the frame as a guide to perfectly center it.
Greetings from the Mermaid Song Stamp Set and bubbles from the Swimming By and Under The Sea stamp sets were stamped on a piece of acetate using white StazOn Ink. With the greeting stamped on the acetate shaker window, it will always be legible and doesn't get covered up by the shaker material.
The mermaid and turtle from the Swimming By Stamp Set, seaweed from the Under The Sea Stamp Set, and the starfish from the Mermaid Song Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using black ink, colored with Copic Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. The mermaid was adhered to the inside of the shaker and the hair and mermaid tail were embellished with a white pen and a glitter pen.
The front of the shaker was adorned with the rest of the images as shown.
Two layers of foam tape were used around the outer edges of the shaker, filled with a sequin mix and the front of the shaker was adhered in place.
The card was finished by adhering additional sequins to the card front and filling in the bubbles and starfish eyes with Glossy Accents.

Hello! Today I'm sharing a Designer Series project featuring the Little Girl Agenda Stamp Set and coordinating dies. Heart Windows created with a Dotted Detail Creative Cuts die provide the perfect windows for these cute images and greetings from the Cross My Heart Stamp Set match the mood and feeling of this loving heart design.
I started with the background and trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" before die cutting the Dotted Detail heart from the panel three times. I kept the heart die cut to color and add behind the window openings. A greeting from the Cross My Heart Stamp Set was stamped on the panel using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Spun Sugar and Candied Apple Distress Inks were applied over the panel for embossed resist and to add color to the background. Water from a Distress Sprayer was spritzed over the background and blotted dry to add distressing. Candied Apple Distress Ink was applied to the die cut hearts and they were dried with a heat tool to speed up the ink drying process.
An additional greeting from the Cross My Heart Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered underneath the embossed resist phrase.
The heart window panel was adhered to a white top fold card base with foam adhesive and the solid hearts were adhered inside each opening as shown.
Images from the Little Girl Agenda Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using black ink and colored in with Copic Markers before being die cut with the coordinating Little Girl Agenda Dies. The images were adhered next to the greeting and inside the heart "windows".
The card was finished with a scattering of sparkling clear sequins and iridescent heart confetti.

To build the night sky background, I first applied Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. Once the Distress Oxides are blended well, I spritzed the backgrounds with the Metallic Blueberry Mist and the Gold Shimmer Mist from the kit. I think you get the best results with the distress inks when you let the mists sit for about a minute and then blot dry with a paper towel.
Once the background is completely dry, I flicked white opaque paint over the backgrounds with a small paintbrush.
When the paint is completely dry I stamped the silhouette images from the card kit 6" x 8" stamp set included in the kit on the inked backgrounds using black dye ink. Stardust images and greetings from the stamp set were stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Platinum Embossing Powder or White Embossing Powder. The embossed areas add another layer of dimension and interest to these night skies!
Clouds from the stamp set were stamped on vellum using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being die cut with the coordinating die and adhered to the cards as shown.
Each background was trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a tri-fold card featuring the incredible Lawn Fawn Plane and Simple Stamp Set. Sometimes a standard size card front just isn't enough room for the story you want to tell and a tri-fold card is the perfect solution!
The base of the card was created from Canson Watercolor Cardstock. I trimmed the 12" long watercolor paper to 5 1/2" wide and scored it 4" from each end. This makes the card just a little narrower than a traditional A2 sized card. Color was added to the card base with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink using Ink Blending Tools. The background was spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotted dry with a paper towel.
Additional Stitched Trails Dies were used to created stitching detail on the card base itself.
Images from the Lawn Fawn Plane and Simple Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers before being die cut with the coordinating Plane and Simple Dies. Faces were added to the clouds and cheeks were stamped with Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers Ink. The images were adhered to the card base to build a scene as shown and detail was added with a Sakura Black Glaze Pen and Glossy Accents.
The card was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Confetti.

Hello friends! I'm so excited to be guest designing for My Favorite Things today with a scene card featuring a stenciled background and the adorable images from Party Like A Pirate Stamp Set. Scene cards are some of my most favorite cards to make but sometimes building the scene creates a lot of bulk. Stencils are a fantastic way to create a background for almost any scene without the bulk of lots of die cut layers. Pirate image seem to be all the rage right now and these awesome MFT Birdie Brown images are the perfect size for coloring! I just love all the MFT Birdie Brown line of stamps!
Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink was applied to Bristol smooth cardstock before the same color was applied over the inked background with the Radiating Rays Stencil. Water droplets were added to the background with a Distress Sprayer for a fantastic oxidized effect. Along the bottom edge of the same piece of cardstock Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink was applied. I didn’t worry too much about where the inks meet since I’ll be covering up the seam with a stamped greeting banner.
Images from the Party Like A Pirate Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. Birds were stamped directly on the background. The rest of the images were die cut with the coordinating Party Like A Pirate Dies and adhered to the background as shown. A glitter pen was applied to the coins to give them a bit of glimmer and Glossy Accents was used to add definition to the parrot’s eye.
A greeting from the Party Like A Pirate Stamp Set was stamped on a die cut Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strip with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting strip was adhered to foam adhesive right below the die cut images to help “ground” them and give them a place to stand. The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

Hey friends! With Father's Day right around the corner I thought I'd share a fun Dad Card idea for the fishing enthusiast in your life! Whether it be a dad, grandpa, or someone who is like a dad this fun card is sure to illicit a smile or two! I finally got all the Distress Oxide Ink colors (yeah, I am only a wee bit behind the times!) and all I can say is.... where have these inks been all my life? Wow! All the enjoyment of Distress Inks with the fabulous look of pigment inks. I can't wait to share even more ideas with these fabulous inks but for today I'll share some ideas for ink blending and stencils a gorgeous ocean and sunset background.
For the background of my card I die cut two panels from Canson watercolor cardstock using the Wonky Rectangles largest die. From the bottom of the top panel, I die cut the Big Dad die to create a shaker window. Make sure and hold onto the letters and the inside of the letters to easily piece them back together when a transparency is placed behind the opening. From the top of the panel the new Drifting Stitches Borders were used to die cut two borders along the top edge. I love that the imperfection of these stitches coordinate with the Wonky Rectangle Stitches!
For the background and top panels, I applied Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks with Ink Blending Tools. The Waves Stencil was used over the inking to create the ocean/water look. Because the Distress Oxide Inks are a combination dye/pigment ink, it makes them super easy to layer and stamp on top of other inking and the ink "sits on top" of the paper for a fantastic look. The fish stamped with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink on the top layer is a good example of this. Also, inside the shaker, coral was stamped with Fired Brick Distress Oxide Ink and it maintains it's great red color without fading!
Fish and fishing images from the Best Fishes Stamp Set and Father's Day Finds Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Fish and Bowl Dies and Father's Day Finds Dies. Some of the images were adhered to the front of the shaker, a couple of fishes adhered inside the shaker behind the die cut Big Dad, and some tucked under one of the ocean waves. Eye stickers from the All Eyes On You Stamps were added to all of the fish for a fun, whimsical touch.
