LBBS~ Little Fairy

Hello, crafty friends, today I have a cute lil' Spring inspired card using Little Blue Button Stamps~ Little Fairy Digital Stamp
 How precious is she? Love her


So here's my card:
I kept the background pretty simple but vibrant as I cannot wait for spring so went with orange and pink watercolors using Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers! Did a little background stamping and splattered some black acrylic paint to tie into the card base. I finished with a sentiment from Altenew's "Faithful Feather" Stamp set. 


I colored this cutie with SN Markers and added some SN Sparkle Clear Pen on her wings and some Ranger Glossy Accents on the bubbles. 
There we have it, a fun and vibrant Spring Card. :o)


I sure hope I've inspired you today. 
Happy craftin'!

STAMPlorations~ Sunday Stencil #93

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm sharing a tag I made for STAMPlorations Sunday Stencil #93. The designers have created some fabulous mixed media projects to inspire you. You can find them  here so be sure to check them out and leave them some luv! :o) 


Today I used ARTplorations Hidden Hearts & Just Flow Stencils with STAMPlorations Strong Women Stamp set for these fun lil' tags.  


I started with a black and white heavy CS tags. I then applied Versamark over the Hidden Hearts & Just Flow stencils. I then applied Pearl Ex Pigment Powders over it with a brush. You can see how the colors look different on black or white backgrounds. :o) I then sprayed them with a sealer. 

I then embossed sentiments from the Strong Women Stamp set onto smaller tags and used eyelets for a little embellishment. 

Some twine finished off my tags. Simple, easy and fun! :o)


I hope you were inspired to play along in our Monthly Challenge, there is still some time to join in. Have a great weekend. :o)
