**VIDEO** You Are The Best

February 14, 2014

Happy Valentine’s Day! So today I am starting a fun new video series, created as a response to the requests that many of you made. I thought it would be fun to give a twist, so this video series will feature different kinds of card challenges that are out there and I am going to share my take on them. Each week, you will see a new challenge I take on and I will walk you though how I create my creation. Don’t worry, you will still be able to enjoy my Start-to-Finish series videos on Mondays and Quick Fix Quick Tricks videos occasionally.  So, let’s get started with today’s project!

Week 82 - Bold

This week I am participating the CAS-ology Week #82 challenge. This week’s theme is BOLD. Below is my take on it:

DSCN7792

I thought it would be super fun to play with some pigment inks I got recently. I used Mama Elephant’s pigment inks and the colors I used are: Bubble Gum, Orangeade, Sunshine, Mojito, and Ocean. They are bright, fun, and juicy! They are perfect for creating a bold, bright, and rich colored project. Along with those ink pads, I used Life is a Journey Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp. It is filled with super fun flowers, leaves, dots, and sentiments.

I basically did a random background stamping with few of the stamp elements. Alternating images and colors can add a great dimension to the card. I also added a bit of rhinestones to dress up the simple card.

Make sure to watch the video to see how I created this card in just minutes. Hope you enjoy, 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
