Hi Stamping Friends! Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho here today with a couple of coffee cards to share with you. I used the stamp set Coffee Understands and the Coffee word die.  I colored the girl with Copic markers and placed her on a hand cut tag.  I embossed the sentiment in white and then lightly sponged over it with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink. Coffee Understands Coffee Word Die This card has the sentiments in the stamp set embossed in white for the background.   Both cards backgrounds are stenciled with Distress Oxide ink in Speckled Egg with the Flowers Stencil and the Life...

  Hello! Today I’m up at Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing these shaker cards using my the new Sequins Mix. This is a great idea to create simple but beautiful cards using your leftover die cuts from previous projects and put them to good use. You can also check out the how-to video at Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel here.  Let’s begin with the first shaker. I’m using Picking Flowers and Fabulously Perfect Stamp from Picket Fence Studios. I die cut a circle die out of a white cardstock. I adhered a piece of acetate at the back. Then, I...

Hello, everyone!  I hope you have had a great week!  I am excited to share with you a couple of stencils and a sweet pup today.   First up is the gorgeous Fireburst Stencil.  I have a limited supply of watercolor powders and in truth, I am tired of the colors I have.  So I decided to try an experiment and see if I could get a different look.  First I sponged distress ink through the stencil with a Life-Changing Blender Brush (on sale now!) also sold as a Bundled set with bonus stencil).  Then I spritzed the cardstock, (stencil still...

Hi guys!  It’s Erica back on the Picket Fence Blog today, with a couple of cards using the brand new After The Storm stamp set.   Both cards are coloured with Copics and stamped up with the Black Hybrid ink. Because the After The Storm stamps are brand new, I used a Mini MISTI to make sure I got good stamp outlines.  I wanted to create really dramatic and dark clouds, but not make them all grey or black. On a scrap piece of paper I scribbled all the grey copics I planned on using, then used some blues over...

Hello - it's Michelle here today to share this card that I made a little while ago by mixing Agapantha purple and Cornflower Blue paper glazes to create a new colour. I love using a gradient of colour over a stencil - I usually do this with ink and Life Changing Blender Brushes, but you can do it with Paper Glazes and a palette knife, too!  They mix beautifully, and spread over the stencil just like cake frosting - so satisfying! I called my new colour Royal Blue. I used the Mermaid Scales stencil and a sentiment from Fancy Sentiments...
