Watercolor birthday

Hello,

Today, I'm finally trying watercolor technique with my Distress inks, after all these years. It wasn't easy, had to start many times over, but I finally made it!

I first colored the cat with my Tombow markers and blended the colors together with water. I also added some white fur on his belly with a white pen (but the picture doesn't show it much unfortunately). For my background and the balloons, I made 2 water color backgrounds using many Distress inks. I stamped 5 times the Party girls stamp, but only the portion with the balloon. I cut it out and draw some patterns with a black pen on 3 of them.  For my balloons, I used the ink pads but then, for my background I used the reinkers and thought this was much easier. My colors are much more vibrant! Once it was dry, I glued my balloons and the cat, and draw the twines. I stamped my sentiment (Happy Birthday) with purple ink and embossed it in clear.

I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions challenge 180 - Watercolor and white pen
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Cute and Cudly
- Seize the birthday: The great divide

Material used:
- Stamps: Feline Flop (Art Impressions), Party Girls (Art Impressions), Joyeux anniversaire (Magenta)
- Inks: black soot, fired brick, wild honey, dusty concord, tumbled glass, mustard seed, barn door (Distress inks), Imperial purple (Versafine)
- White pen (Signo uni-ball)
- Watercolor paper

Défi de mars de Simple à Souhait

Bonjour,

Aujourd'hui je vous présente ma page de scrapbooking pour le défi de mars de Simple à Souhait. Il fallait faire une création selon le combo couleur donné (rose, gris et noir).

Pour débuter ma page, je me suis inspirée d'une belle page rose que j'avais. J'ai maté ma photo sur du papier noir et collé dessous deux papiers à motif dans les teintes du combo. J'ai aussi ajouté une bordure autocollante car je trouvais qu'elle apportait un peu plus de masculinité à ma page un peu trop rose :p  J'ai mis des attaches parisiennes dans les coins de ma photo et mis un cadre autocollant autour de mon bébé. J'ai découpé à la main mes deux fanions gris et noirs et j'ai mis un bling bling dessus. J'ai étampé mes deux étampes en gris que j'ai ensuite embossé avec de la poudre transparente et découpé à la main aussi. Mon titre est fait avec un die et un vieux label maker. Puis, j'ai fait tout plein de fleurs dans les teintes du combo que j'ai dispersé autour de ma photo et rehaussées avec un bling bling au centre. J'ai ensuite fait des taches avec ma belle encre Irresistible que j'adore, elle fait tellement un bel effet dimensionné. Voilà!

Matériel utilisé:
Étampes: Ronds #3 (Simple à Souhait)
Die: Rayon de soleil (Lime Citron)
Papiers à motif (The paper studio, Basic Grey)
Bordure décorative: elements stickers archaic (Basic Grey)
Attaches parisiennes (Toga)
Bling bling (Bo Bunny, Simon Says Stamp)
Fleurs (Recollections, Prima, Forever in time)
Encre: Tuxedo Black (Irresistible)

Merci pour vos commentaires, il me fait toujours plaisir de les lire.

Défi Accent Scrapbooking - Journée de la femme

Bonjour,

Hier, Accent Scrapbooking a publié un défi surprise pour la journée de la femme. Il fallait faire une page de scrapbooking nous mettant en vedette. Je n'avais pas de photo récente que de moi, puisque maintenant les seules photos que je prends sont de mes voyages ou de mon bébé ha ha et je n'avais pas le temps d'aller en faire développer d'ici dimanche (date de fin du défi). Donc j'ai fouillé dans mon album photo et j'ai trouvé cette vieille photo que je trouvais assez comique de moi il y a plusieurs années, pour mon 21e anniversaire. Ouf, ça ne me rajeunit pas. Enfin bref, j'ai donc décidé d'utiliser celle-là car j'avais un beau badge sur le thème anniversaire que je voulais utiliser.

J'ai choisi un magnifique papier à motif de la compagnie K&Company. J'ai utilisé du lettrage et des autocollants que j'avais depuis longtemps (il faut bien que je fasse de la place dans mon stock si je veux pouvoir justifier le fait que je doive en racheter ha ha!). J'ai découpé la fleur dans un restant de papier à motif que j'avais et j'ai collé le centre de la fleur sur du tape 2D pour plus de dimension et j'ai ajouté un centre bling bling. Le cadre de ma photo a été découpé avec un ciseau à motif. Évidemment, j'ai mis un badge d'Accent Scrapbooking avec de la ficelle jaune. J'ai aussi fait des cercles toujours dans le même papier et j'en ai mis un autour de mon visage pour le mettre en évidence.

Merci de votre visite!

Colorful thank you card

Hello,

Today I'm showing you a card I made for Impression Obsession's Splashes of Color challenge and SSS Monday Make your own background challenge. This week-end, I made many leaves using my new die and alcohol inks so I still had few left. I first made my background by spraying my black ink, then yellow and orange ink. The thanks word was made with a die from IO. I stamped the chicken wire stamp on white cardstock with orange ink and mounted it on black cardstock and then on 2D foam tape. I glued my leaves and voilà!

Material used:
- Stamp: Chicken wire (Impression Obsession)
- Dies: Thanks, Leaves (Impression Obsession)

- Inks: Black marble (Dylusions), Electric Yellow, Electric Orange (Irresistible inks)

Great day

Hello!

Today I'm showing you a card I made for my grandmother. I love sending her cards to tell her I'm thinking about her. I was first inspired by SSS Monday challenge Leap into the unknown. When I make a card, I usually think about everything before starting it. For this one, I didn't have any plan or idea, I just knew I wanted to use my Memory Box tree die on the card.

I made 2 trees dies cut and stamped some flowers directly on my background, aligning them with the trees. For more dimension, I then glued the trees on the stamping so some flowers would appear behind the trees. I also stamped the flowers on another cardstock and hand cut them as I didn't want the full branch. I colored everything with Spectrum Noir markers, using colors matching my background patterned paper. For some texture (SSS Wednesday challenge), I added Stickles inside the flowers. Then, I stamped my sentiment with SSS ink.

I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Memory Box challenge #10 Blossoms and bunnies (used tall birch die)
- Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Take a leap into the unknown
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Touchy feely
- Addicted to Stamps Challenge #121 Glitter/bling
- Simon Says Stamp Work it February: Floral challenge

Material used:
- Die: Tall birch (Memory Box)
- Stamps: Blooming garden (Penny Black), souhaits (Lime Citron)
- Spectrum Noir markers: CR6+CR8+PL3
- Ink: Blue Violet (Simon Says Stamp)
- Stickles: Stardust (Ranger)
- Patterned paper (DCVW)
