WMS PJ Party Gift Tag

More Waltzingmouse Pajama Partying and I'm still dotty about glitter paste, but I've used gold this time. This is a fun tag for a bride to be with a little fiesta fringe in ombre pink and glitter, of course! I used some partial diecutting and a trimmer to make the large tag and distress markers and promarkers to colour the images.

Using watercolour cardstock left me with the dilemma of how to colour a white dress when the cardstock has a cream tone. I've used Old Paper and Weathered Wood to create some shadows and give the illusion of a white dress, the blue background wash and distress inking help enhance this. Clear Wink of Stella gives a subtle shine to the dress.

WMS April PJ Party

I've created a gift card card for a new arrival for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party Challenge #2. I'm addicted to glitter paste so I've covered the card base in dimensional silver glitter polka dots and used vellum for the next layer because I couldn't bear to cover them up or the stamping on the gift card. The sentiment is embossed with liquid platinum adding to the dimension.

Poor lighting conditions as I sought out the last of the sun's rays in the garden for my photography session. Lots of shadows, but I hope you can get the gist!

Unicorn Shaker

Shaker card inspired by Kristina Werner's video of a shaker card made using fun foam. I've created a springtime watercolour background with rainbows and clouds from the Paper Smooches Spectrum stamp set, added white sequins and clear seed beeds to the fun foam and vellum shaker window.

A little watercolouring and some stickles for the unicorn and we're almost ready to go! A fun and surprisingly quick card to make, ignoring the glue drying time. I'm still experimenting to find the best glue for foam.

Happy Birthday Little Mermaid

Dimension is the word this week so I've pulled out my pop dots and dies! I've used lots of layers, there are seven different heights on this card from card base to gem and a glitter paste that is very dimensional giving lots of sparkly texture.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is celebrating a birthday this month and so are we. Birthday season has officially started with the old new year!

I've distressed both backgrounds with Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire. I love this mix of colours especially with a misting of iridescent Glimmer mist. The upper background and happy diecut was created with the smooching technique and the lower one using emboss resist with a distress inking tool. I found the glitter paste while browsing my local-ish online store and it jumped into my cart & arrived the next day- I'm so glad. I love all the glittery dimension it gives.
