Be Happy Card – Clearly Besotted April Sneak Peek

April 5, 2015

Happy Easter Sunday, everyone! I am back to share the last card I made using one of the new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted. (All of the stamps sets are available for you to purchase today at 3pm PST) And I think the card is perfect for today, as you might be spending some time with your loved and close ones on this Easter Sunday.

Unfortunately (because of my brain not working properly at the moment), my camera didn’t film the whole process of me making the card, so I don’t have a video to share today (boo!). However, I hope you will still enjoy my card!

I wanted to go with lots of colors today and finally used some of the new products I got few weeks ago. The new Distress Ink colors! I took out Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers Distress Sprays to add pop of colors to these beautiful flowers. Aren’t they just so pretty?

The stamp set I am using today is called Life & Laughter.  I love this set because not only the images are so great, but the sentiments are very heartwarming as well. To get these flower bunches, I stamped the image on a white cardstock with Versafine ink and heat set it with Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder from WOW. After that I sprayed them with the Distress Spray Stains I mentioned above. I also added lots of water to mute the colors.

After the flowers were all dried, I used the coordinating die to cut them out. Then I placed them on the card front layer and added foam dots on few flowers to give different dimensions. The main sentiment is also stamped with Versafine ink. It is super easy to put together but I think the result can be really eye catching.

Hope you enjoyed today’s card! Thanks for stopping by.

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
