Faith - SNS Winter Stamp-a-thon

Sweet n Sassy is having a Winter Stamp-a-thon today. Each card made and uploaded to the VIP group is entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift code for Sweet n Sassy products.  This card was created for the monochromatic challenge.

To make this card I randomly placed stamps from Sweet n Sassy's Faith set in my MISTI and stamped with Versamark on a piece of mixed media paper. I then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Next, I scribbled a Violet Arteza Real Brush Pen on my craft mat and painted over the paper with a wide water brush. I let it dry then sprayed a coordinating tone of Glimmer Mist over the paper to add shimmer.  The focal image was first stamped in Gina K. Designs' Wild Lilac. I cleaned the stamp then inked it up with Versamark and stamped again so I could heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I cut the image and layer with my Brother Scan n Cut and then finished it off with a few coordinating sequins.

Hello Friend

When I'm low on creative mojo I make lots of backgrounds. I have a shoebox filled with backgrounds just waiting to be made into cards.  I created this background sometime last year and thought it would go with this Wendi Vecchi flower I colored. The background was made with Distress Oxides on mixed media paper then splashed with water drops.  I colored the flower with Spectrum Noir and Chameleon alcohol markers.  I used a white pigment pen to add some dots and pierced the border of one of the layers.

Blended Butterflies

I'm going through the cards I made over the past couple of years but haven't posted.  Last year I wrote that I hoped to post at least one card a week.  Obviously, that didn't happen.  This card I made last summer for a co-worker who moved out of the area.  I blended different colors of Distress Oxides over a butterfly stencil to get beautiful ombres and transitions.  Enamel dots were randomly placed to fill in the white space.
