Faux Watercolor Card with My Favorite Things

This week, the Simon Says Stamp challenge is Anything Goes! They are highlighting My Favorite Things products and MFT happens to be one of MY favorite brands lol! So I created a faux water color look by stamping their Layered Watercolor flowers in Distress Inks and then activating the inks with a waterbrush.

I also used a sentiment from the Brush Letter stamp set to go along with the watercolored look and feel. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and some Tonic Studios Nuvo Jewel Drops to the centers.
Thanks for stopping by!

5 Ways to Color Glitter Cardstock

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is Sparkle and Shine using Tonic Studios products. I started with Tonic Studios White Glitter Cardstock.
If you only have white glitter cardstock but want the look of lots of color, there are several ways to color your glitter cardstock!
You can use alcohol inks or Distress Inks or even acrylic paint. As long as the medium is not too thick, you should still be able to see the glimmer and shine of the glitter through the color.
Try watercolor markers or Tombow markers to create a soft rainbow effect. Or if you don't mind covering up some of the glitter, add drops of Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops.
Check out this video to see all 5 ways to add color to white glitter cardstock and pull together a few cards too!
If you are interested in the products I used for these techniques and cards, they are all linked down below! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Distress Oxide Texture Backgrounds

This week, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge  is to use texture and Tim Holtz products. I had some Tim Holtz Texture Fades that were perfect for creating tons of texture.
Of course I HAD to add Distress Oxides over the top too!
I love the way the Distress Oxides look on top of the embossed panels.
There is so much going on between the texture and colors that I left the rest of the cards simple. I added some die cut sentiments and a few Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops and called it a day!
Check out this video to see how easy it is to add Distress Oxide ink over embossed backgrounds for a full texture effect!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
