Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques

I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!

Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.

  • Blending Brush border idea with Artfully Layered; so pretty!

    I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live video.  I LOVE the colors and style; they're so my style!

    I chose to play with the Artfully Layered bundle seen here in colors of Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.  Having a lot of 'white space' makes the textures & pretty leaves the clear star of the card.

    I used a blending brush to blend the two inks on a piece of White card stock and then cut the leaf die-cut from that.  

    For the multi-colored border underneath I used the blending brush to add the same colors.  I love the effect!

    The cross-hatch texture is made with the dies in the bundle.  There are two of them in the set that give textures.

  • Sailboats & Palm Trees featured in today’s card swaps!

    Today's post are the last of my talented Flowerbug Team swaps for April.  Our theme was water, trees or leaves and I've been sharing their cards all week!  It's so fun to see everyone's style and actually receive cards from people across the country.  I LOVE swapping! 

    The first card is made by Candy; she is featuring the Paradise Palms bundle seen here.  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Black.

    That pretty die-cut across and under the greeting is part of the Palm dies in the bundle.  She used the Double Oval punch for her greeting.  

    It's stunning and a perfect 'guy' card!  Thank you for sharing your fabulous card with us.

    The next card was made by Tammi. She used the Let's Set Sail bundle in the 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.  This bundle is returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May.  I love this punch!

    She created her own watercolor background by washing diluted color (Pool Party & Balmy Blue) onto her White CS.  She also textured her background with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  This folder is retiring now and it's on sale too! I'm so sad about it as I think it's a staple. It is a perfect way to add texture without a lot of busyness.  See it here; get it while you can!

  • Wonderful leaves, trees & lighthouse card ideas

    Today's post features the third post of my talented Flowerbug's Team swap cards.  I've been featuring them all week!  Our theme was to make a card with trees, leaves or water.  It was a fun theme and the cards were gorgeous and unique!

    The first card here is made by Jacki.  She chose to use the Paradise Palms bundle from the 2022 Jan-June catalog.

    She textured her White layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder and added a 2" strip of the Abstract Beauty specialty DSP across the middle.  It looks like sparkly water!

    Next is a card made by Brenda using the Artfully Layered bundle seen here.  I LOVE her unusual color combo of Pool Party, Basic Gray & Petal Pink!

    There are so many wonderful textures & details here!  Look closely to find them all; this bundle includes some special dies in it.

    Jonna made this lighthouse card with the Sailing Home stamp set.  Unfortunately this stamp set was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  

    April Jacki Paradise Palms Save

    Her colors are Night of Navy, Crumb Cake & White.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create a window; popping up the 'frame' with Dimensionals.  I love how she wrapped the linen thread around the greeting.  

    Stop in for the last set of amazing swap cards tomorrow!
