Another "Happy Mother's Day" (with stamping and pencil coloring)




Hello, all!

Today's post is a fairly simple (yet elegant) card considering the quick stamping and pencil coloring. The colored pencils I used for this particular card are the American Crafts COLORCOPIA Colored Pencils made specially for paper crafting. They're actually pretty easy to use and don't require much skill (While on the other hand, watercolor pencils are more difficult to use. I'm hoping I can post some pencil watercoloring in the future!). The ---- stamp is generic and can be used for a multitude of occasions, however it is centered more on a feminine side. In addition, I added some flourishes to the card using my Uniball Signo WHITE BROAD Gel Pen. So let's jump into the card! 



Supplies:
  • Paper- Bazzill KRAFT Cardstock
  • Stamps/Ink- Inkadinkado FOR THE BIRDS Stamp Set, Hero Arts CELEBRATE EVERYDAY Stamp Set, Tsukineko Brilliance GRAPHITE BLACK (Pigment) Ink
  • Embellishments/Other: Offray SIMPLY GROSGRAIN BLACK 1/8 in. RibbonAmerican Crafts COLORCOPIA Colored Pencils, Uniball Signo WHITE BROAD Gel Pen
Hope ya liked today's post!
Adios for now!

"Birthday BOY" Scrapbook Page

 Hello!

It's been quite a while since my last post, so I must apologize. Today's post is actually a 12x12 scrapbook page that I made for my dog, Butter, whose fifth birthday was yesterday (As you can see, I added dimensional adhesive to the number '5' and adhered it at a tilt on the number strip.). The paper I used was from Studio Calico HERE + THERE Collection and I thought I'd use that because of the colorful doggy silhouette pattern and the whimsical color scheme. I was planning to add quite a few journaling strips on the tag and the long beige color strip. So here we go!



                      
Supplies:
  • Paper: Studio Calico HERE + THERE 12x12 Paper Pad
  • Embellishments: Silver Rhinestones, American Crafts Turquoise HOORAY Thickers, Thickers, American Crafts White ROOTBEER FLOAT Thickers,
  • Punches/other: EK Success BINDING EDGE Punch, Journaling tag die
Hope you enjoyed today's post!
