Rainbow watercolor background

May 7, 2020

Hi everyone. I am here today sharing a card where I have made a quick and fun watercolor background to place my card image on.

To make this card I started by grabbing my Daniel Smith dot palettes and made a striped rainbow pattern on watercolor paper. I then dried it before I used the text background stamp from the January 2020 My Monthly Hero kit all across the painted panel.

I then die cut a few flowers using the dies from the same kit and arranged and glued them to the rainbow panel. I then popped the panel up on foam tape and glued it to a bigger piece of white cardstock.

I stamped my sentiment to white cardstock and die cut it to size using the banner die from the kit. I popped the sentiment strip up on foam tape and glued it to the card panel.

I then glued the whole panel to a white card base and finished the card by glueing a bow to the stems og the flowers and a few mirror sequins scattered across the card.

There is still time to join our watercolor challenge, so get painting, spraying, dabbing og making a lovely mess. We can’t wait to see what you will create.

I am sending you all kinds of happy thoughts and hope you are all doing well. Take care of each other.

Let the adventure begin

I love reading. Beside cardmaking and scrapbooking and embroidering, reading is my favourite thing to do and I am constantly on the lookout for new, cute bookmarks. This time I decided to make one myself.

I started by inkblending a few blue and purple colors of reactive ink to create a fun deep water background. I splashed a few drops of water on the background to create “bubbles”.

I used the glitter laquer from the November 2019 My Monthly Hero kit and a scrap piece of cardstock to make glittery rays of sunshine down in the water.

I stamped the images form the March 2019 MMH kit using black ink and the sentiment is from the June 2019 MMH kit.

I found these very old bookmark pockets in my stash that I put my bookmark in. I added a bunch of sequins inside the pocket as well. Since I wanted the sequins to move when you shake the bookmark I sealed the pocket shut using my fuse tool.

I completed my project by tying a couple of ribbons in the hole on the pocket.

I hope you will join us in our next challenge that will be published here the 15th.

Until then; Stay safe, stay home and craft with joy.

Hello everyone. I am here today sharing one last birthday card before our new challenge is up the 15th.

For my card I have used several stamp sets and dies to create this, fairy in the woods, birthday scene. I started by using left over blue ink on my blender brush to create a soft, blue sky.

I used the “Tree arch fancy die” twice on a couple of patterned papers to create a paper pieced wood clearing. I inked the edges of the tree trunks and tree crown using brown and green inks.

I also cut grass from the same patterned paper as the tree crown using the “Thorn tree and grasses fancy die“. I then glued my grass and trees to the blue background.

I then turned to my stamps. My fairy girl is a stamp from the 2018 December MMH kit and my cake is from the 2020 February MMH kit. I colored both of the images using copic markers, a white gel pen and my Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

I glued my images on the scene and stamped my sentiment, also from the February MMH kit before I cut the scene slightly smaller than the white card base to create a very thin frame for the scene.

I hope to see you again here on our blog when our new and exciting challenge is up in just a couple of days.

The world to me

Happy new year, everyone. I am here today sharing a card using the January My Monthly Hero kit.

I was dying to try the biodegradable glitter from the kit so I started by stamping the earth and sentiment using black ink and colored the earth quickly using copic markers.

I then covered all the green parts in liquid glue before I attatched the green glitter to it. I also used my wink of stella glitter brush to cover the rest of the earth. The result is a very glittery image, but the green parts even more glittery and a little dimensional as well.

After coloring the image I cut the card panel to size and wrapped the brown string from the kit around it a couple of times and tying a cute bow. I then glued three wood veneer stars around the image.

I finished the card by popping the panel up on foam tape before I glued it on to a grass green card base.

So that was our last glimmery, glittery card before the new challenge will be here the 15th. I hope you will come back then.

I hope you will have wonderful day.

Lovebug wishes

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing my last card for the month of nature. I went all huge making a mountain and ocean-card for the last card I shared, so I am going all tiny for my last one.

For this card I used the cute mushroom and ladybug stamps from the December 2018 My Monthly Hero kit to create my scene.

I started by inking my sky using a light blue color. I then inked my grass using a couple of green shades. I splattered some water drops on the grass to make it react and cut it a bit wavy to make it come to life. I glued the sky and grass together and cut them to a long narrow strip. I also cut a thin strip of black cardstock to ground the scene a bit.

I stamped my images and colored them using copic markers and created some highlights using a white gel pen. I then glued my images on to my scene.

I glued the whole thing to a white panel cut to size using a stitched rectangle die and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set as the images.

Finally I glued my card panel to a green card base and finished the card by making a few droplets with glitter glue.

Be on the lookout for our new challenge the 15th. It is a lovely one.
