Watercolor background Video Tutorial

Ever try a technique and get hooked on it? I finally tried creating a water color background and I'm in love! This time I created a card using La-La Land Crafts' Happy Birthday background stamp. It's so bold and awesome that it goes so well with this background technique. 

The background stamp comes with an open text and a solid text sentiment. I think the cards look stunning either way!

Rainbow Ombre background with Atelier Inks!

Hi Everyone, it's Cheryl here to show you how to make a cheerful card that's bound to brighten up anyone's day!

First I used the Inkon3 Atelier Inks to make a diagonal rainbow background! I just did this freehand so I can get a slight gradient effect when I transitioned to the next color. Look at how vibrant the colors are!

I cut out a scalloped rectangle and scalloped circle, then I embossed the scalloped rectangle using an embossing plate. I also cut out a small flag and used the Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to "dye" the paper. Next, I stamped and fussy cut some of the images from the Lil Chicks stamp set. I used the Atelier Inks as water-coloring inks to color the images! Even watered down a bit, the colors are so vibrant!

Once the red flag was dried, I stamped the "You're EGG-STRA-SPECIAL" sentiment using an embossing ink and then sprinkled some Arctic White Ultra Fine embossing powder over the stamped sentiment and heat set the embossing powder.

I assembled the card by first adhering the large scalloped rectangle to the rainbow card base, then added the little chickie and then the rest of the stamped images on the top and bottom of the circle. Lastly, I adhered the red flag on the bottom left of the card.

There you have it! A nice, clean, and simple card that's super duper adorable!

Here's some planner inspo using the new stamp Oh Deer! Stamp set! I love how versatile the stamp set. There are festive holiday elements that are included in the stamp set, but if you leave them out you can use this all year round!

I used distress oxide ink in my B6 traveler's notebook. I've been really into the combo of Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass. I stamped the Oh-Deer image using the Inkon3 Fade-out No-line Coloring Ink, it makes no-line coloring so much easier and so clean!  Then I colored in the images using copic markers!

Copic Colors used:

Browns: E77, E74, E71, E55, E53, E51, E50, E27, E25, E21, E34, E0000

Purples: BV01, BV00, BV000

Pinks: R83, R81, RV00
