**VIDEO** Sweet Peas Thank You Card

April 10, 2014

STF - 20140410-1

Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a card that features an awesome stamp set by Inspired By Stamping. I created this card to showcase the wonderful, detailed flower image from the Sweet Pea Stamp, which was a part of March 2014 new release. Not really a super big fan of flourish pattern myself, but I seem to reach this set quite often! Let’s check out the video so you can see how I created this fun card.


I wanted to play with a few of Distress Paints for the background. I wanted a more rich, bold colors than my usual water-color effect using the Distress Ink Pads, but since I was using lots of pink shades it ended up being a bit softer than I wanted it to be. Making sure that the embossed flower image to show was my goal so I didn’t want to cover it too think with paints. You can see the colors I used in the supplies list, so don’t forget to scroll down!

In this close-up picture, you can see the blended shades of pinks. Distress Paints will cover your cardstock layer and give you an opaque finished look. So if you want the colors to blend really well, make sure to spray a plenty amount of water before drying. Once you dry the paints, you won’t be able to go back and reactive the paints like you can with other distress products. So practice, practice, experiment, and experiment!

I think one of the main reason I keep reaching for this set is because of this great sentiment. I love the fonts and the elegant feel of it. It is perfect with the images from the same set or you can mix and match with other sets on hand. Versafine Onyx Black ink is my current go-to ink for creating a rich, sharp stamping result. It is a pigment ink, don’t forget to let it dry a bit when you use it on your projects.

Sweet Pea Stamp Set can be used on multiple occasions, birthdays, anniversaries, thank you, miss you, get well, etc – such a great stamp set to have on hand. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have an awesome day!!

    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
