Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
I am sharing with you my card for My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 289.
Here is what I came up with:
For my card today, I turned the sketch on its side. To start, I created my own background with the Arrow Ends Background Builder stamp. I stamped it on watercolour paper panel with Black Soot Distress ink, then lightly brushed them using a wet flat brush. Next, I ink blended on a separate watercolour paper with rainbow colours of Distress ink using mini ink blending tool: Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves. I then die cut them with the Chevron Fringe Die-namics. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Celebrate with Cake set on black card stock in white, then cut out a banner using the Blueprints 29 Die-namics.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!
Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

For my first card, I created a watercolour butterfly card with the Butterfly Notes stamp set – it is one of my favourites in the Lovely Notes Collection. First I stamped the large sized butterfly from the Butterfly Notes set on an A2 sized cold press watercolour paper panel with Distress inks: (from the top) Dried Marigold, Tumbled Glass, Victorian Velvet. I then added more colours to each butterfly with Distress inks using a wet paint brush:
For my second card, I used the Lovely Flowers and Handpainted Thanks (designed by Neat & Tangled) stamp sets. To start, I randomly stamped the flowers and leaves from the Lovely Flowers set on an A2 sized white paper panel with MFT hybrid inks using the Mini MISTI stamping tool. I then added some opaque white ink splatters over the stamped images. Next, I stamped the sentiments on the bottom left corner of the stamped panel using VersaFine Onyx Black – “thanks” from the (Neat & Tangled) Handpainted Thanks stamp set and “You Made My Day” from the Butterfly Notes set. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-side tape, then added some clear droplets on the stamped flowers using Ranger Glossy Accents.
For my last card, I used the Wonderful Wreath stamp set. To start, I created my own background with the musical notes – I stamped them on white paper panel in Altenew Evening Gray dye ink. For my focal panel, I die cut from watercolour paper using the banner die in the Lovely Flowers die set first, and then stamped the leaf wreath from the Wonderful Wreath set on it with Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades dye inks. I also prepared the birds, fruits, pine cones for decorating the wreath. I mounted all elements as shown to an A2 sized white card base using dimensional foam tape, then embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.
Hmm, it looks like a Christmas card, don’t you think? :D
