Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hello everyone! I'm back with a custom made romantic wedding. I don't do a lot of über romantic cards, but I went all out on glitter and girly here. I startet out by coloring Stamping Bella Brett and Brenda get married. I colored the dress with a soft pinkish glow and framed them with dots fading out to emphasize the couple yet adding a bit of pink. I added a thin edge of WOW! silver sparkle embossing glitter to the edge of the panel. The base is a soft peach cardstock. I used My Favorite Things Falling hearts stencil and added Ranger glossy paste through it. Then I poured over WOW! Peachy Keen Sparkles (a glitter). I let that dry completely and then made sure to flick off all the excess (quite a bit 🙈). I used the same stencil on the envelope and ink blended with Victorian velvet Oxide ink. All sentiments are from Simon Says Stamp Congratulations. The main sentiment on the card is heat embossed on vellum using Hero Arts silver embossing powder. Both sentiment tags are cut w...

  Hello everyone! Today we are starting a new game over at AAA Birthday challenge blog and the theme for this month is Animals & Critters - right up my alley, right 😉 I decided to use some - new to me - My Favorite Things stamps. No surprise there.  I stamped and Copic colored these images from the MFT Birthday Buds set. I chose to keep it mostly in blues, just for a change. Copics used: E77, E74, E71, E44, E43, E42, E40 YR16 Y38, Y21, Y13, Y00 YG13, YG11 B29, B05, B02, B00 BG57, BG53, BG49, BG15, BG23, BG11 Then I did some emboss resist first white heat embossing the MFT All lined-up background stamp and then ink blending with Cracked pistacio, Mermaid lagoon and Blueprint sketch Oxide inks. I cut the background with a Simple and Basic rectangle die and popped up the critters and cake for dimension before adhering them to the card.  Look how the birdies are completely oblivious that the wind is dragging the balloon - and sheep - in their direction. Hedgehog spotted...
