I'm a bit slow in crafting this month, so thought I would play in the challenge over at a2zscrapbookingblog.com/. The challenge is to use glitter and bling. I used lots of embossing powder and some Wink of Stella to give this card some bling.

This is my attempt at playing with colored pencils. You can see my process video on my YouTube channel youtu.be/6oYJ-Xe4gSk and check out a step by step on my blog www.happyinkdesigns.wordpress.com

Created with supplies from the Kind Heart card kit from Simon Says Stamp. This one uses one of the Pinkfresh Studio papers and puffy stickers. Adding this to the current SSS flickr challenge of mother's day/flowers.

I'm on vacation and brought stuff for watercoloring. One of my nieces wanted to watch me make a card. She picked Sketched Flowers from Simon Says Stamp 😊

Quick pencil coloring on kraft cardstock. Stamp by @simonsaysstamp. I’m entering this card in Simon’s Flickr challenge. Day 14 of #thedailymarker30day, #sssflickrchallenge, #simonsaysstamp, #polychromospencils

Life can be a bit crazy at times, but finally, I managed to break out the Simon Says Stamp November card kit - the kit stamp set is adorable! I couldn't resist watercolouring a little autumn scene. Which critter is your favourite? I should really say the white rabbit seeing as we have one of our own, but actually, in this case, I think it has to be that hedgehog with the sweetest nose and whiskers and rolly polly tummy!

I made this card for the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop. I used the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 2 dies for the frame and the embossed background. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Sending and Wishing set, and the die-cut flowers were cut on my Cameo.

I'm entering this card in the SSS Flickr Challenge #20. I was inspired by the colors, the sketch/design, and the flower element. :)

I created this card for Day 1 of the Online Card Classes Background Check. I used a technique that has quickly become one of my favorites - Ink blending and using a stencil and baby wipe to "bleach" the ink away. So much fun! I'm adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge 24. Simon products used are Sending die, Best Fishes Stamp set, and Waves stencil.

You may have seen this sweet guy a while ago when I coloured him while travelling. Gosh, that seems an age ago now. Hopefully, one day soon we can travel to see family again. It's a scary time for sure. I hope you are all safe, well and staying inside if at all possible. So much of life as we know it has changed and I want to reach out and just say hello, friend ❤️ Although we cannot meet friends and family at present there are still so many other ways to connect - a phone call, video call, email, text, message, social media and of course one of my favourites - snail mail!

Spending time creating a card is a fabulous way to relax and decompress, it should be on prescription! However, sometimes, you need something simple and cute to get some fall gifts out the door. Today I have a simple watercoloured fall scene and then three quick and easy gift card envelopes made using the October Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.

Thank you😄

Wanted to try using the same paper for different parts of the card. It seemed to merge in one dark-blue spot but using embossing (cold and hot ones) I got them looking differently. Used wrinkle-free technique to create the central round element. The only thing that I hadn't had distress inks in colors I need so used ColorBox ones. Even being pigment ones they are water-based to work for this technique as well (you don't need to run to a craft-store to purchase distress ink). Then I applied a bit of ink directly to the paper in the spots I wanted to make color more deep.

Supplies:

2000207 - Cuttlebug 5 x 7 Embossing Folder POLKA DOTS Provo Craft

CG387 - Hero Arts Cling Stamp TINY FLAKES

98321 - Memory Box CHLOE STEM Craft DIE
