Unity Water Color Wonder!

Hello friends!
Today I'm up over on the Unity Blog!

I have a fun Water-colored card to show you. I used this adorable image from the January Kit of the Month. This is such a simple technique and it has such a beautiful effect. All I did was use my Tim Holtz Water-colored markers directly on the stamp. Give it a little spritz of water and voila! If you want more of a watercolor look you can always take a wet paintbrush and bring the color out a little. 

Have a great day everyone!

Springtime Happiness with Unity Stamps!

Hi there everyone. I can't believe it's already April! It feels like I just put my Christmas Tree away! 

This month I've been asked to Guest Design for Unity Stamps. 

This is a Stamp from the January Kit of the Month. These Kits are so much fun and they have a TON of stamps and we are not talking about a little stamp set. Nope! These stamps are a all a good size stamp for card-making, mixed media and even for scrap-booking!

I really LOVE the simple look lately with cards. I still love layers but I think I'm going through a non-flower phase. :) 

I hope you will follow me throughout the month and see my Unity Projects! 

Merry Christmas Eve!

 

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve.

We are having Christmas at my house this year and I'm really excited about it.

 

Yesterday I cleaned.

Today I'm going to be setting up the tables.

 Right now Ralph's making me breakfast. :)

 Kids are barely getting up.. well the teenage boy isn't.

 



Today I'm off and I will have to get up and be at work in the morning at 5am. I hope this will be the last year I have to work on Christmas. That's what I want for Christmas!

Good things are happening in 2015! I can feel it.

Here's an ornament I made using the Julie Nutting wooden ornaments. I painted it with acrylic paints and embossed in gold and used crackle accents a the new Prima Finnabair glitter. I really LOVE the way it came out. The photos really doesn't do it justice.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Simple and Stunning Christmas Cards with Fun Stampers Journey!

 

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Mine turned out pretty good if I say so myself, despite the fact that I had to work.

 

Everyone is so busy this time of year so I wanted to share how you can make some simple yet gorgeous Christmas Cards to send out to friends and family. I have done a few very simple cards and video tutorials so come back for some more inspiration over the next week.

Limor Webber Designs FIRST DT post!

 

Hello everyone!!

Today is a very exciting day! It's my first post on Limor Webber's Design Team! I couldn't be more happier to be apart of this! :o)

 

I decided to make a canvas for my first project. I took the colors out of my daughters' comforters and then matched them to my Gelatos®.

 

First I laid a coat of white Gesso, then I created a rainbow using my Gelatos®  and at first it was very bold and the color was a little too bold compared to my girls' room. So I added more water and blotted the canvas until it lightened. Once it was dry I took my Gelatos® Double Scoop® Color – Black Licorice and went around the entire canvas, I used my finger and pulled some of the black into the rainbow in the same direction. I used the Prima “Bubbles” Stencil  and added bubbles with some molding paste. I shaved off some of all of the Gelatos® and added just a little bit of water over each of the shavings. Then I used my heat tool over them and it was such a cool effect! It bubbled and expanded and left some great texture to the canvas!

 

 

 I added my quote in some sticker letters and then decided to add some Tim Holtz Rub Ons, Crystal Circles. Then I got out this amazing stamp, IndigoBlu Bubbles Background and stamped all around the canvas and also on the wooden butterflies. I was just about finished and I wanted my bubbles to pop out a little more so I took my Water-colored pencils and traced some of the larger bubbles to define them a little.

 

 

 

One more thing I just HAD to add -- Glass Bead Glitter Gel.. just a little on the bubbles!

 

 

 

 

I really LOVE this and so do my girls. I hope you all like it!

Have a wonderful day!

A pretty altered notebook!

 Hi there my crafty peeps!

I have a notebook I made using most of the products in this Frosted Designs Kit

I just adore this kit. The colors are gorgeous. I just love the new Tim Holtz stencil. I used some 3d molding paste on my journal with the stencil. I have distressed the edges of paper with my scissors and then I distressed them with the Tim Holtz Crackle Paint.

 

The stamp I'm using is this Gorgeous Bloom Girl Stamp. I used the no line coloring technique.

I just love those purple highlights in her hair! :)

 

I used some of the rub ons from the kit as well. Here's the sentiments along the bottom of the notebook. 

I also added some faux stitching along the top corner. I took the Maya Road Scalloped Frame and painted it with white acrylic paint. Then I added the rub on in the center.
