July's One Day Free Fae Digi from Faery Ink!

Good Morning Crafty Friends, and happy Friday!

Isn't she fae-a-licious??? Love her! 

So hurry- quick, go and grab her while you can as she's only available for

Now, without further ado...

I've been on a "coloring on kraft" kick lately, but I just can't help it! I just love how the Prismacolor Pencils just "POP"!

I couldn't decide on DP's so I went with inking up Heidi Swapp- 6x6 Triangle set stencils in Broken China Distress Ink and Angel Pink Memento Dew Drop Ink to create a soft background. Added a So Suzy Stamps Warm Sunshine Sentiment 

and some pretty Butterflies. 

I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils  onto American Crafts Kraft Smooth CS. Used my Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Circles to diecut the image.

Here's the inside of my card using the same design as the front:

So Suzy Stamps~ White Washin' with Dragonflies!

Good Morning my crafty friends,I'm here, with some inspiration for

Today, I have a cute lil' card set I made using 

Dragonfly and a white-washing technique 

 Suzy told me about with her card here.

I didn't know what it was, but her card is stunning, so off I went to comb thru Pinterest. Lol! 

Here's my take:

You'll need:

Kraft cardstock

White Embossing Powder
Embossing Heat gun
Versamark Ink
White Craft Ink
Waterbrush Pen
Distress & Tombow Markers, or other Alcohol Markers

Dragonfly stamp
Sentiments, Sending a Note & Thank You! used here
Embossing Powder for Sentiments

Paper Trimmer

Glue
Embellishments

Here's the technique I did:

1. I used my Static Buddy on the Kraft Cards
 (cut to 3 3/4'x5'), prepping for Embossing. 
2. Stamp the Dragonfly onto the Kraft CS, bottom right corner. Using my Misti Tool, I went ahead and stamped all 6 Kraft CS bases at once. 
3.Emboss with White Detail EP and Embossing Heating Gun.

4. Take your White Craft Paint, smoosh some onto your craft mat (this prevents your ink pad from getting water from the waterbrush pen). Using your Waterbrush pen, pick up the white ink and white wash the image  by lightly "coloring" the image with a thin layer of "white color & water". 
5. Allow to dry. Then color using alcohol Markers.

6. Emboss sentiments in top left corner.

7. Layer onto White CS bases cut to 4' x5 1/4'. Then layer this onto your 4 1/4'x 5 1/2' Card base. 
8. Embellish as desired- I kept it fairly simple with MME Enamel Dots here. 

Here's the finished cards:

Split Negative Techique with Phineas the Peacock!

Good Morning my crafty friends! 

It's my turn to host over at So Suzy Stamps! today.

For today's make, I used a 

Split- Negative Technique along with the gorgeous 

PHINEAS THE PEACOCK!

You'll need:

Dark cardstock, used black here

Light cardstock, used white here

Black and White Embossing Powders

Phineas the Peacock stamp

Paper Trimmer

Glue
Here's the technique I did:

1. I Stamped Phineas on Black CS and Embossed with White Detail EP and stamped him on White CS with Black Detail EP. 

2. You then "SPLIT" the images into 2.Phineas was great for this technique because you could cut and line them up in the exact same place. :o)

3. Then take the right Black CS and line it up with the Right White CS and so on with the last 2 pieces. 

4. Glue the images down together onto cs base. 

5. Then Decorate as you wish. I kept it pretty simple with just Black and White DP's and the Just for You and Miss You sentiments as I wanted the focus on Pretty Phineas. ;o)

Here's the finished cards:
