Winnie & Walter Leading Lady Take Three + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
I’m back with my third post for Winnie & Walter as their Leading Lady this month. Two weeks already gone.. time really flies!!
One of my church members is expecting a baby girl in a few months so I wanted to make a cute baby shaker card for her! I am always happy to make baby cards!!
To start off, I created my own background with the In Bloom: Elsa’s Flora and the Welcome to the Family stamp sets. I stamped images on watercolor paper using Memento Desert Sand dye ink, roughly coloured the panel with Tattered Rose Distress ink and a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it down with the Essentials: Lana Cutaways. I then die cut ‘baby’ sentiment using the In a Word: Baby Cutaway and adhered acetate sheet to back of the panel.
I stamped and watercolored the baby bear (from the Welcome to the Family set) with Distress markers, die cut it with the Welcome to the Family Cutaways. For the sentiment, I used the Sketchy Thoughts stamp set.
This baby bear.. soooooooo cute!!!

SSS Beautiful Day

Hello crafty friends, it’s a warm sunny day. I can see people are riding bicycles outside. :)
So today I want to share with you my card with the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Ride Stamp & Die Set – it’s definitely one of my favourites among SSS products!!
I started by stamping bicycle, baskets, and kitty from the Beautiful Ride set on watercolour paper using Onyx Black pigment ink. I coloured them with Distress markers, then die cut them with the matching dies.
For the bubbly background, I used the Ring Wreath die. I die cut Ring Wreath from a separate white card stock several times, adhered them on an A2 sized white paper panel using fine tip glue pen. I also die cut Ring Wreath from coloured card stock; Audrey Blue, Cotton Candy, Green Apple, Lemon Chiffon, Lipstick Red, Sea Glass, and Sunshine. Then I inlaid circle cuts in place, as seen above.
  For the sentiment, I used the word “Hello” in the Handlettered Greetings die set.
How about riding a bike and saying “hello” to your neighbors today?

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Winnie & Walter Leading Lady Take Two + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments to my first Leading Lady post for Winnie & Walter last week. I read them over and over!! :)
Today’s card, I used my most favourite technique, random stamping + Distress marker watercolouring, using so adorable Big Hugs Stamp Set.
To start, I randomly stamped images from the Big Hugs set (hearts from the Welcome to the Family stamp set) on watercolor paper in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then trimmed the paper down using rectangle panel die.
I watercoloured all stamped images with Distress markers and water brush, background with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and a wet paint brush. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Big Hugs set in white, die cut it with the Sketchy Thoughts Cutaways. Once the panel was completely dry, I mounted the watercoloured panel on navy card base using foam tape, and then sentiment die cut on it using foam tape as well.

Shay has generously donated a $30 gift card for me to give away here! To be in with a chance of winning, just leave a comment on my Winnie & Walter Leading Lady posts (every Saturday in May). I’ll announce one lucky winner at the end of the month! :)
