Hello, Kraftie Friends!

The flowers/leaves were colored with Fabrico markers + watercolored using the ink from the markers...I scribbled on my craft mat and used wet paintbrushes to pick up the colors.

Other supplies: Stamps (CTMH - flowers are from this set) + Thin Cut + Distress Stickles + Foam Tape.

2. The Flower Challenge #70: CAS

3. Stamping Sensations July: Summer Flowers

4. Simon Says Wed: AGoes

5. Word Art Wed #549-#550: AGoes

6. Happy Little Stampers July Watercolor: AGoes

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made a card today, inspired by the colors Red, White & Blue...

I'm trying out a 3-D embossing folder I got (Star Fall - Sizzix) and the best way to get a good 3-D impression is to spray water on your paper before embossing. The only thing is that you'll have wait for it to dry before using it on a project...

I brushed dye inks on the embossed panel and die cut it. Then, I brushed it with CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush.

Sentiment (CTMH) was stamped and fussy cut, and I also brushed some red ink + Clear Shimmer Brush before adhering on card with Foam Tape.

Challenges:

1. Cupcake Inspirations #547: Oh My Stars

2. Simon Says Mon: Red, White and/or Blue

3. International Art & Soul #137: Red, White & Blue

4. Get Creative #113: Red, White & Blue!

5. Heart2Heart: Patriotic Pride

6. CAS on Friday #234: Thank You

7. Simon Says Wed: AGoes

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Finally, I'm feeling better enough to craft a bit (my whole family had COVID)...

I was just watching "Encanto" for the "100th" time a couple days ago...so, I'm still in butterflies and flowers mode...but I guess will also start some "Summer" projects soon...

This card was made using supplies I already had in my scrap box...all I had to do was color the butterfly with alcohol-based markers.

Challenges:

1. Color Throwdown #699

2. Less is More #468: Emboss

3. Can You Handle the Pressure? AGoes with Embossing with a twist of Things with Wings

4. Simon Says Mon: Inspired by a Movie

5. Simon Says Wed: AGoes
