Music From the Heart; in a rainbow of colors!


I saw a card like this online made by Diane Barnes and had to make it for my friend Becky's workshop a few weeks ago.  She loves color!  It's made with the Music From the Heart stamp set seen here.   It's just $17!

We stamped the treble clef multiple times and the greeting on a separate piece of White CS.  Then we fussy cut the words apart and colored each one with a Blends marker.  

The rainbow of sponged colors are done on another piece of card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"; the same size as the finished card.  Our sponge daubers work perfectly here.  It looks pretty messy but you are only seeing a 'peek' of in on the edge so it really doesn't matter much. It's the rainbow of colors you're wanting on the edge. 

Measurements:

  • White full card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White sponged layer is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White stamped layer is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2"

Details:

  • Ink colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape.
  • Blends colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Light Navy, Dark Highland Heather

  • In the Country with a split scene technique


    They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products!  Including stamp sets!  But beware that many are in French.  Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.


    I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.  


    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus and colored the image in with our Watercolor Pencils. 

    One thing I always use with our Watercolor Pencils is the Blender pen.  It smooths out all of your penciled lines so easily. See it here. 

    The card base is Coastal Cabana and I added a Black layer and a simple Black strip across and under it. Simple but it sure shows off the pretty scene. 

    You can see the In the Country stamp set here; it's free with any $50 purchase.

  • Two-Tone Flora card with more ideas in the video


    Here's a pretty card I shared on a recent Facebook Live.  It features the Two-Tone flora bundle seen here. 

    My colors include Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis. I kept this card very simple to show off the beautiful detail in the flowers.  

    The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set seen here. 

    I used Very Vanilla to stamp on as I haven't used it much lately.  It's a softer feel than White.  Does your Vanilla need some love too? 

    I hope you're inspired by this fun technique.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.

  • Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!


    I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.  

    I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started!  Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

    The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front.  But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other.  So cool!  I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.  

    I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here. 

    Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front. 

    I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards. 

    Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut.  The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique!  I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.  

    The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf. 

    I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.  

    I hope you're inspired by this fun technique.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.
