Using Sentiment Sets

Hello...

Today I decided to play with sentiments.  Usually I use the sentiment sets from Imagine That Digistamp to finish my cards but today I thought I would use them as the focus of the cards.  

Here they are... 

Card 1: God Understands

Card 2: Heartfelt Sympathy

Card 3: Hugs & Prayers

Card 4: Thoughts & Prayers

Card 5: Another Thoughts & Prayers

Card 6: Our Thoughts & Prayers

First, I printed the sentiments on white card stock and then fussy cut them out.  I chose card bases to match the backgrounds I created with Lindy's Gang Magicals.  I used a die cut tree on the card 1 and then acetate butterflies with Glitter Film (glitter foil) from Stamp On It on the other 5 cards. To finish each card, I added a little bling because you know I love bling LOL :)

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

Thoughts & Prayers                           Sentimental Thoughts

Friends, Baby & Sympathy Cards

 Hello!

Hope all is well with you... I'm still on cloud nine with my new Grandson :)

I created three cards this week that I'd like to share with you so grab a drink, sit back and enjoy....

Card 1: Friends

I created this card for my BFF's birthday.  I printed the colored image/sentiment on white card stock and cut it out.  I chose a red card base, created the background with a background stamp that I white embossed on watercolor paper and then colored the paper with oxide inks.  Next, I added a dark green designer paper and then placed the image/sentiment on top.  Lastly, I added the coffee cup to bling it up :)

Here is the Imagine That Digistamp set I used:

Lorie's Peppermint Mocha

Card 2: We're Expecting....

I printed the colored image/sentiment on white card stock and cut them out.  I chose a dark blue card base, created the background with a heart stamp that I embossed in black on watercolor paper and then colored the paper with oxide inks. Lastly, I added the image/sentiment and a couple glittery hearts to bling it up :)

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

Baby Blocks      (sentiment from) Pregnant Peggy 

 

Card 3: Thoughts & Prayers

I printed the colored image/sentiment on white card stock and cut them out.  I chose a light brown card base, created the background with oxide inks and added a splash of glitter spray to make it sparkle. Lastly, I added the image/sentiment and bit of bling.

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

Freda's Flower Basket     (sentiment from) Thoughts & Prayers

   

That's all I have for you today :)

Pretty Peacocks & Pretty Petunias 7/20

Hello... Hello... Happy Thursday!!!
I have a couple of designs to share with you today :)

First...

Pretty Peacock Sympathy

I printed these images on Xpress-it paper and colored them with Copic Markers.  I selected a green card base and added a strip of gold glitter paper to the bottom.  Then I added the colored image and a bling flower to finish it up :)

I used these Imagine That Digistamp sets:

Pretty Petunias Sympathy

I printed the images on Xpress-it paper and colored them with Copic Markers.  I'm loving how the hummingbird blended colors came out.  Next I chose a green card base and added gold embossed paper, matted the image with a dark blue and then assembled it all together.

Pierrette

Hello you....
Today I'd like to share my Pierrette/Thoughts & Prayers sympathy card design with an Oxide Ink background:

Pierrette Sympathy

I started by printing the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper and then coloring it up with Copic markers.  She was so much fun to color :)

To design the card, I chose a red card base and then created the background with Tim Holtz distress oxides and a netting stencil on watercolor paper (once I created the colored background, I wet the netting stencil and then placed it on top of the background to add the faint impressions of the stencil... pretty cool right?! loving these oxide inks)

Next I fussy cut the image/sentiment, placed them on top and then I added some bling for the finishing touches to complete my design.

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

        Pierette                             Thoughts & Prayers

Aurora Wings - May 2017 "My Favorite Color Combo"

Hello!

I just realized that I never shared my fabulous news here on my blog... better late than never :)

I recently WON the Artists Choice Award for the May 2017 "My Favorite Color Combo Challenge at Aurora Wings!  

I was so excited!  I'd like to share with you the adorable little sprite "Pierrot Sprite"  that I used in my entry.

I printed this Aurora Wings sweetie on Xpress-it paper and colored him up with Copic markers. Because purple is my favorite color and turquoise goes so nicely with it, I chose these as my favorite color combo. I created the background with glitter paste and a stencil on watercolor paper.  I added the sentiment that I got from an Imagine That Digistamp set "Thoughts & Prayers".

Here are the stamp sets I used:

Pierrot Sprite                                  Thoughts & Prayers

        

If you'd like to get either of these digistamps, just click on the name above the digistamp set picture.

 Feel free to let me know what you think... I'd love to hear your feedback :)

Thoughts & Prayers and Congratulations

Hello!!!

So glad you stopped by.... today I have two designs to share with you, the first is a sympathy card and the second is a graduation card... I hope you like them :)

You're in my Thoughts & Prayers

I started by printing this image on Xpress-it paper and coloring it up with Copic Markers.  I mounted the colored image on brown glitter paper and then adhered it to a light blue card base.  To top it off I added a few 3 dimensional butterflies :)

Here are the Imagine That Digistamp sets I used:

Lamb with Cross                                Thoughts & Prayers

Congratulations Graduate

I printed the image on Xpress-it paper, colored it with Copic Markers and cut it out.  Next I mounted the colored/cut image on black paper and again on gold glitter paper.  Then I used a blue card base and added a few bling stars to finish it up :)

I used an image that can be found in either of the Imagine That Digistamp sets below:

Graduation Day 1                           Graduation Day 2
