Tangled Tinsel by SumMore Fun Stamps!

 

Hi friends! 

 I'm super excited to be a guest designer for SumMore Fun Stamps

(Victorine Originals/Raisin Boat Stamps)

and I'll be showcasing Tangled Tinsel this weekend :)

This is my first card using Tangled Tinsel - 

a delightful stamp set with an ornament, holly berryies

 and more as well as gorgeous sentiments!

For this card, I started with a flat wash of watercolor 

using Altenew's pans and let it dry.

Next, I used WOW white embossing powder and Versamark

to create the snowflakes and stamp the sentiment.

For the final touch, I added a bit of sheer ribbon

and popped the panel up on foam to a base of snowflake dsp!

I love how vibrant and blue it is!

Big hugs, bigger blessings :)

Day 5 ~ Joyful Winter!

 Hi friends!

Oh how I love snow!

It holds a magical, memorable place in my heart of growing up in Europe

and the adventures my brother and I had :)

I can still close my eyes and see it all ♥

We have a snowy mountain vacation planned for this Christmas

but with Covid19, it just might be on hold ...

Like most of us, plans are at a standstill until we know it's safe. 

Onward to the next class at the #OCCSpringCardCamp card class ....

This one was taught by the talented Debby Hughes.
Yes!

That Debby from Lime Doodle Design - she is so inspiring! 

When I have that (rare) free moment, I love watching her YouTube videos ..

they are so relaxing and serene and her cards are so beautifully done. 

Well ... I'm calling my cards today the Old College Try!

I tried.  That's it.

LOL

 For my 'stencil', I didn't have the one anywhere close to what I needed

to I did the next best thing and used a die cut. 

I created the sentiments from a Lawn Fawn stamp set 'winter village'

and spritzed it when dry with a little hint of Ink on 3, 

a gift from my friend Jeanette.

And done and done!

I'm SUPER excited for the next class set of cards ....

and hopefully I won't sit in the corner long for these two!

I adored the class and the watercoloring process ~ just not the result.
It looks a little like a fallen tree in the middle of a lake - LOL!

BUT!

I'm posting anyway because it's all about learning

 ~ love it or not ~

and finding that happy medium ♥

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!
