Holiday Card Series DAY 3

October 16, 2014

Welcome to Day 3 of 2014 Holiday Card Series! Today’s card features a water-splattering technique for the background, along with couple of cool stamp sets from Inspired By Stamping.

 

Distress Inks are perfect for today’s background technique. I highly recommend that you give this a try. It is so easy and quick! I used Peacock Feathers, Stormy Sky, and Iced Spruce. Make sure to watch the video above to see how I created this “no mess” water splatter background.

The main part of the part features two stamp sets. First one is December 25th Labels Stamp Set which has lots of cool images that are perfect for cards and gift tags. I chose this circle image with the house sitting on top of a snowed hill. Thought this would be perfect for creating a night background card. Also the elegant greeting is from the Holidays Expressions Stamp Set. It is filled with lots of different styled greetings so you can create tons of Christmas cards with just one set. More bang for your buck!

Do you just LOVE the sparkles on this image? Wink of Stella Glitter Pen is perfect for subtle, soft shine. If you are not a big glitter fan like I am, I highly recommend that you pick up couple of those Wink of Stella or Wink of Luna pens for easy peasy shine effect on your card.

Hope you enjoyed today’s card! Check back tomorrow for a brand-new holiday card!

    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
    Hello, beautiful!

    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
