Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Thursday crafty friends!
Welcome to the Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Zinia Redo’s blog you are on the right track!
Create stunning works of art with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers! The barrel is filled with water-based color, and coordinates with our line of inks. The flexible, yet sturdy bristles on the brush tip allow you to form both broad and fine strokes. Color can be applied straight from the marker, or diluted with water for a softer look.
For today’s cards, I especially used the Ruby Red, Citrus Burst, Lagoon, and Espresso.

I stamped roses from the Amazing You set on watercolour paper panel using black pigment ink first, and then coloured all stamped images with brand new Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers:
Red roses: Mixed with Ruby Red, Rouge, and Citrus Burst
Dark green leaves: Emerald
Teal green leaves: Lagoon
I watercoloured the stamped image using brush marker first, and then mixed up with water using water brush. Once the watercoloured image was dry, I coloured all edges of each stamped image using brush marker again (as shown in the picture).

Here is another watercoloured red rose card with the Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers. I stamped a flower cluster from the Forever and Always set on watercolour paper using black pigment ink, watercoloured it, and then die cut it with the Forever and Always die.

PPP 5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends!
Welcome to the first day of the Pretty Pink Posh 5th Birthday Celebration (and January 2019 Release) Blog Hop – it lasts for 3 days!! You may be starting the hop here or coming from Thi Lam’s blog and seeing her beautiful cards, either way I hope you enjoy all the fabulous inspiration from the hop!

For my first card, I’m featuring Pinata Party Stamp Set, Cupcake Critters Stamp Set, and Decorative Tag 2 Dies. For my colourful background, I heat embossed cute images from the Pinata Party set on watercolour paper panel in white, inked up the panel with Picked Raspberry, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive Distress inks, and then added a bit of watercolours.
I die cut arch window from a separate watercolour paper using the Decorative Tag 2 dies, then lightly inked on it with Antique Linen Distress ink. I decorated it with a few Valentine Jewels Mix.
We can open the window, it means we can add something of a surprise inside the window.
Ta-da!! Happy birthday to you! I stamped & watercoloured these cute birthday critters using the Cupcake Critters Stamp & Die Set.
I love the Decorative Tag 2 Dies so much – it’s my most favourite among entire January release products.

For my second card, I’m featuring Crocus Flowers Stamp Set and Scallop Hearts Dies. I stamped flowers & leaves from the Crocus Flowers set on watercolour paper panel using black dye ink – I used Post-It Notes for masking images. I then coloured all stamped images with Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils.
I applied the Scallop Heart Die over the coloured images, then inlaid all pieces in place as shown in the picture. I decorated the Scallop Heart with small sized Valentine Jewels & Sugar Plum Jewels.

GIVEAWAY!!
Pretty Pink Posh is giving away $25 gift certificates to those NINE people who comment during the blog hop. Plus, PPP is giving away a not-yet-released set for qualifying purchases (while supplies last)!

PPP You Make Me Smile

Hello crafty friends, happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
As you may know, I’m staying with these amazing ladies on the Pretty Pink Posh design team for the first half of 2019!
What an amazing lineups!! I’m so happy & honoured to be in the team!

I started by stamping flowers & leaves from the Anemones set on white card stock using light coloured dye ink. I coloured all stamped images with alcohol markers, and then die cut them with the Anemones coordinating dies.
I die cut the Scallop Circle from white card stock five times, then stacked them up using fine tip glue pen.
I stamped the sentiment from the Encouraging Greetings set on the bottom right of the white paper panel using VersaFine Onyx Black, then mounted all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape. I embellished with a few sparkling clear & raspberry jewels.

Pretty Pink Posh January Release is coming soon. I will share my cards with them this Wednesday! Click HERE to see a lot of amazing sneak peeks!!

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

Keep smiling and be blessed. God bless you all.

Spellbinders January 2019 Stamp of the Month – Key To My Heart

Happy New Year, crafty friends!
Today I have a love themed card with the new Spellbinders January Stamp of the Month – Key To My Heart! It’s a new club to Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey in addition to their current club kits. (This month’s “Key to My Heart Stamp Set” also has a coordinating “Key to My Heart Die Set” (DI-0507), sold separately. *You may add the die at time of subscription.)
Here’s a look at the January Stamp of the Month – Key To My Heart.

And, here is what I came up with:
I started by heat embossing beautiful keys & locks from the Key To My Heart set on watercolour paper panel in white. I then ink blended on the stamped panel with Picked Raspberry & Tattered Rose Distress inks. Next, I partially washed colours from images using water brush first, and then added red & yellow to the stamped images as shown in the picture.
I mounted the panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added watercoloured wings & key, sentiment banner on the centre of the card front using foam tape.
The Spellbinders Stamp of the Month is available on the 1st of every month. If you have any questions, click HERE.

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

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
