Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Amazing, Beautiful, Fabulous YOU!

Happy Saturday Friends!  I'm here with a fun card share for today.  I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far!

Here is my card...

I had been making so many Valentine's Day cards for the last month that it felt a little odd at first to make something completely different!  Well that didn't last too long when I took out my bin of cute MFT Pure Innocence stamp sets!  These images are so adorable and so much fun to color up with my copics.  This PI girl comes from a set called Make a Wish.  After coloring, I cut her out on stitched circle die and then added some handmade banners made using the gorgeous Fabulous collection by Simple Stories.  The kraft background is embossed with some polka dots and I also used my white gel pen to run some stitches around the border.  I added a few enamel dots to finish off my card.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Make a Wish - PI Collection by My Favorite Things

Fabulous - Simple Stories

Mustard Seed - Tim Holtz distress ink

Copic Markers

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Make sure to check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see all of the Pure Innocence collection stamp sets by My Favorite Things!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Saturday!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Vintage tags using distress inks

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!!! I have something a little different from my usual card to share with you all today!

Here are some vintage tags I've made using my distress inks...

So when I first started making cards, my style was very much different from how I create today.  I would say it was more of a vintage grunge style.  I definitely couldn't do without my distress inks and I loved to layer and use flowers in everything I made.  Now with distress inks as popular as ever as well as stencils, pastes, sprays, water coloring, background stamps etc..., I've been having so much fun creating different backgrounds with all of my art media supplies! I also love layering whenever I have a chance which is perfect with these types of projects! 

Here are the supplies used:

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz distress ink

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz distress ink

Vintage Photo - Tim Holtz distress ink

Dried Marigold - Tim Holtz distress ink

Black Soot - Tim Holtz distress ink

Butterfly punch - Martha Stewart 

Black Sparkling Embossing Powder - Ranger

Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Multi- Medium Matte glue - Ranger

Multi Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope this gives you some inspiration to get grungy with your inks!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge: Adore You!

Hello and Happy Tuesday Friends!  Today starts a new Loves Rubberstamps Challenge and the theme is "Let it Sparkle"!

Here is my card...

This week's theme was my pick and since I always love to add lots of sparkle, this was super fun for me!  For my background, I used the BG Gingham Background stamp from MFT embossed on some white card stock and then covered with some pretty distress inks.  I actually sprayed some glimmer mist from my stash which got the colors flowing to give it that water color effect.  I decided to make a shaker card so I could fill the shaker with lots of pretty sequins and then decided to scatter a few more on the top of the card for added sparkle!  I took the Die-Namics Love and Adore You die set by My Favorite Things to create my sentiment with some fun blue glitter paper from my stash. I then added some twine and lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers also sprayed with the glimmer mist. 

Here are the additional supplies used on my card: 

Salty Ocean -Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Broken China - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Faded Jeans - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Ripe Persimmons - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Squeezed Lemonade - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Versamark watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Mono Multi-Liquid Glue - Tombow

We have a very special GUEST SPONSOR this week who will be providing an awesome prize to our winner as well!

Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday and Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Friends and Happy Valentine's day!   I hope you all have some fun plans today...whether you're spending it with one special person, your family or even just doing something special for yourself, I hope it's a sweet one!!! :)  And of course, to celebrate this special holiday, I couldn't NOT make a Valentine's day card, right?!!

So here it is...

You might have recognized that I made a similar card a few weeks ago....well actually the background was similar!  I just love making these water color backgrounds and playing with my distress inks!!!   I took some water color paper and then added lots of water and some fun Tim Holtz distress inks in shades of pinks and purples.  I then took some water droplets to splatter all over my card and picked them up with a paper towel.  The resist effect the distress inks have with this technique is pretty cool.  You can't really see it in the photo but you can really see it up close!  The adorable image on my card is by The Greeting Farm and she is from the Bean collection.  This cutie is called Sweetie Bean and one of my all time favorite images for Valentine's Day!  I had so much fun coloring her up with my Copics.  I added lots of Wink of Stella all over her outfit and her heart garland to give her lots of shimmer.  The sentiment was stamped onto my paper using Versamark Ink and then embossed with some Ranger black sparkling powder.  I finished off my card with some fun colorful sequins.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Sweetie Bean - The Greeting Farm

Seedless Preserves - Tim Holtz distress ink

Picked Raspberry - Tim Holtz distress ink

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz distress ink

Shaded Lilac - Tim Holtz distress ink

Black Sparkling Embossing Powder - Ranger

Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Copic Markers

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Multi Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Hope you give these water color backgrounds a try!

Have a great  Valentine's Day weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy
