World Card Making Day!!

Happy World Card Making Day!!

Hope everyone had a chance to sit down and make some cards!

I finally got a chance to sit down and make one card - lol.  And I filmed it for my YouTube channel, so if you are interested head on over there and take a peak.

I coloured up Dancin' Mae from Some Odd Girl with distress markers and popped her up on this super cute card.

Don't forget to check out all the deals that everyone is having this weekend in honour of WCMD!

Another Embossed Background

I had so much fun with the tree background that I decided to try a different one.  I picked this triangle embossing folder from WeRMemory Keepers and did the same technique.  You can see the whole process from start to finish on my YouTube channel.

I used the Booyah stamp set from Lawn Fawn, my favourite Halloween stamp set this year =)

Embossed Backgrounds

Just wanted to pop in really quick to show you a card I made last night and to let you know that the tutorial is up on YouTube.  All you need is watercolour powders (I used Nuance by Magenta), watercolour paper, an embossing folder and something to colour in your trees.

You can easily do this with Brusho or Color Burst if you have them.

Hope you like it!!

Playing Around with Distress Markers

I was playing around with my new stamps and decided to colour one with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I used the image Oak Tree Girl from Whimsy Stamps, she is so adorable.

I did not keep track of the colours used as I was playing with them.  I recommend you make a chart to show what the colours look like with and without water as they can be totally different.



I finished off the card with some Prima bling, a die cut doily and some acrylic leaf gems.  The lilies are from Wild Orchid Crafts which I purchased at Not2Shabby.  And of course the fall leaves are some that I have been hoarding in my stash from Michaels.

I love how the card turned out and it is really helping me look forward to fall =)

Altered Journal

So excited to share a super cute project that I was working on today.  I altered the cover of a chipboard journal that I have had in my stash for quite some time.  I had picked it up at a scrapping garage sale at my LSS - Scrappin Great Deals.

I purchased this Penny Black stamp set called Tutu Sweet a while ago and have not had the chance to colour one of these cuteys up.  I found my water brush while I was cleaning up the other day so I decided to pull out some Tim Holtz Distress Markers and give it a try.  I absolutely love how it turned out.

I used some texture paste with a stencil on the background and splattered some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. Check out my youtube channel for a video detailing all the little pieces and colours that I used.

Here is a close up look to see all the detail in the colouring.  I really do like the distress markers for water colouring, it is super easy and so pretty.

Happy Papercrafting!
