<br />
Start by heat embossing in white the HEARTS ALL OVER BACKGROUND STAMP, with white embossing powder.<br />
Then to watercolor, we are going to place the actual pad onto the waterproof surface. Grab the color with a water brush and place on the white embossed image.<br />

Today I have a very fun and unique way to create your own background using very BASIC supplies and some amazing background stamps from Unity. This DIY cardmaking technique is a brilliant way to extend the use of any background stamp.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Enough telling you about it, let me show how to make this.<br />
The color inspiration is very basic, simple rainbow hues minus the purple. For the stamp, I am using <strong><a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/baby-boy-plaid/">Unity Stamp Co. Baby Boy Plaid. </a></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnYrQuyHKr3uphfueRdvXTfzd6jgBH0OJi5cB2LeyFsSl_3lXe5maE7PlNwxa2EqkGjF-6tWVE7ASJ84ZxKh7lD2j1921nNPtIc3QvLMcKDmLYkQol8WCDya5xEQSv3Zcg4FF_2qc3mphj/s1600/may+%25285+of+20%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnYrQuyHKr3uphfueRdvXTfzd6jgBH0OJi5cB2LeyFsSl_3lXe5maE7PlNwxa2EqkGjF-6tWVE7ASJ84ZxKh7lD2j1921nNPtIc3QvLMcKDmLYkQol8WCDya5xEQSv3Zcg4FF_2qc3mphj/s640/may+%25285+of+20%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
To begin, I have my card panel precut from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Next using 5 colors of distress oxydes and a round brush I blended circular ink circles. I got about 3 to fit on each row.<br />
<br />
I repeated this process all the way down until I covered the entire card base. Then, I splattered water on the entire thing so it reacts with the Distress Oxydes. Allow time to dry before moving on to the next step.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2gpMVW3BY9kUZ0ge2JF1Yt75ESU7og5tiFT4MaEwZYXcO0kQiXrdWbBPB-OLHSkRZIQQtW7vNfKEmrLT747hR5SVNfQyUziJSjS2UJ_eDmP36BgezcwiW1htxqaZIMBc1JCAubHs-jGU/s1600/may+%25286+of+20%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1159" data-original-width="1600" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2gpMVW3BY9kUZ0ge2JF1Yt75ESU7og5tiFT4MaEwZYXcO0kQiXrdWbBPB-OLHSkRZIQQtW7vNfKEmrLT747hR5SVNfQyUziJSjS2UJ_eDmP36BgezcwiW1htxqaZIMBc1JCAubHs-jGU/s640/may+%25286+of+20%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now we will heat emboss th<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/baby-boy-plaid/">e BABY BOY PLAID s</a>tamp set with white embossing powder, heat set with your heat gun. While that cools off, on a piece of Black cardstock stamp and heat emboss the "YOU can do it " from the<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/thankful-and-grateful-fall-september-2018-sentiment-kit/"> THANKFUL & GRATEFUL FALL. </a><br />
<br />
Then hand cut the sentiment around the edges. Once that is done, with foam adhesive place the sentiment over the plaid background. Finish up with some clear embellishments or sequins.<br />
<br />
I have a full tutorial video showing you the entire process on this awesome DIY background.<br />

Super pretty right?! Once I found my color combo, I thought it would be best to stamp with Chalk Ink, as it creates such a clean and bold impression on darker card stock. I am using the Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk Inks. For the stamp set, I am using one of my favorites<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/obsessively-grateful/">, <strong>OBSESSIVELY GRATEFUL</strong> </a>which is absolutely versatile to any occasion.<br />

<br />
To begin this card panel, I have my kraft cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.50. Beginning at the top with the hot pink and coming down the line with the other ink colors, slightly overlapping the letters.<br />
<br />
I do want to give you a quick tip that Chalk Ink does take a bit longer to dry, so that is why I started at the top since there can be smudges if starting from the bottom, then going up.<br />
The card was embellished with Nuvo Drops in <a href="http://shrsl.com/1lpvc">TONIC NUVO TRANSLUCENT PERIWINKLE. </a><br />
My ideas was not to embellish so much that it took away from the simple stamping.<br />

Today we have a clean and simple Mother's Day card with a DIY Background using some ink and Glitter Nuvo drops.<br />
<br />
The color combination for this is simple yellow tones and white. Nothing says Spring like a soft tone.<br />
<br />
The stamp is an oldie but a goodie. <strong>Look Up To You Birdies. </strong><br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178456" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/unity-5-7-and-5-14-1-of-15-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
I began by stamping, coloring and hand cutting the birds from Look Up to You Birdies, added foam adhesive and set aside.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178457" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/unity-5-7-and-5-14-3-of-15-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
Then with purple tape, I masked several stripes and blended the non-masked parts with yellow Distress Oxyde. Once that was dried up, I used my Nuvo Drops in Crystal Glitter and rubbed some of the stuff over the same yellow. With a spatula I spread the entire thing, then removed the purple tape.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178458" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/unity-5-7-and-5-14-5-of-15-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
Allowing time to dry, I set that aside and stamped the sentiment with clear ink and covered with white embossing ink. Once that was nice and cool I cut a strip.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178459" height="765" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/unity-5-7-and-5-14-9-of-15-1024x765.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
To finish the card off, I added the birdies and the sentiment. The whole card took only about 5 minutes. Check out my real time video below showing you how to make this step-by-step.<br />

Today, we are going to a create a faux alcohol ink effect. I am in love with all that alcohol ink colours and patterns. But guess what, I don’t have it in my budget to do it.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178222" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cards-from-Sampler-0029-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
So, let’s start this tutorial.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here’s what you will need to do this faux alcohol ink effect:<br />
<ol>
<li>Step Up Peony florals stamp set.</li>
<li>Water color paper</li>
<li>Liquid water colors - Two shades of Pink, Orange and a Yellow. You can also use a water coloring pad, water coloring chalk or whatever you’ve got available.</li>
<li>Embossing Powder - Black and Gold.</li>
<li>Water Brush</li>
</ol>
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178223" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cards-from-Sampler-0031-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Let’s get started!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To start, we first need to heat emboss the sentiment from the Step Up Peony set. It’s a gorgeous sentiment that says “ A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.” So I thought, that’s a really pretty and encouraging stamp set to use.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178224" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cards-from-Sampler-0032-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Once we are done with stamping the sentiment with black embossing powder, we’re gonna do one of the largest peony and cover it with gold embossing powder. I usually stamp with my ink first and put the embossing powder and then heat set before I move on. So I do three at a time, and I haven’t had any issues with my powder going over my wet ink. Next, we’re gonna do the leaves for the bottom using gold embossing powder as well, then heat set it. I don’t want to go any further with the stamping because I want to focus with the sentiment and make it really pop out.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-178225" height="683" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cards-from-Sampler-0033-1024x683.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Now that we have it completely heat embossed, we are going to bring out our liquid watercolors or any water color that you have will work as long as they are super pigmented. I’m gonna then adhere my cardstock to my surface and I’m using a plastic-ky surface. So, I’m gonna do the top then I’m gonna do the color and add water with my brush and drip the colored water to the top. Next, I’m going to do the next color while trying not to blend the colors. And we’re going to repeat the process with all my different colors. And like I said I am using 2 different shades of orange and pink and a yellow. If it doesn’t work like you thought, you can add more water. Just remember to try to avoid the colors from touching each other.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The idea here is that it’s going to be really pigmented and as they dry and you layer them over when they dry, it’s gonna look really pretty. So this is how it’s going to look like once it dries. You get those splotchy, big blobs of color that is really popular with the alcohol ink.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really like this effect and this is a great way to get some of that effect. Remember, it is important that you use watercolor paper so that the colors can soak. Once that you’ve let those watercolors set on your cardstock, you can see those gorgeous colors. It’s really pretty. We will then grab a piece of paper towel and we’re gonna clean that gold embossing because it’s going to resist the watercolors.<br />
<br />
And that does it! A gorgeous faux alcohol ink effect that easy to do. Thanks so much for joining me today.<br />
<br />
Here is my video tutorial, hope you enjoy it!<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> flowers in individual color.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> Altenew Mocha, then do the leaves in Green Apple,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> then stamp it a little bit over the flower pot. It will blend in really nicely.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Now, each flower is gonna be a different color. We’re going to begin with the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> Hot Lips for our first flower, moving on to Blue jay for the second flower, and use the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> Pale Blush Pink for the third flower.</span></div>

</b> </span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Once those are done, we’re gonna go ahead and cut around it. I’m gonna cut the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> interior because I really want those flowers to stick out. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">And that’s what it looks like, once you’ve detailed cut everything. Absolutely so cute card stamping!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b> </span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">So now, let’s begin with our card. Using the cotton candy embossing cardstock, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">we are going to be layering. We’re gonna place our first layer of the white,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> put the white down with flat adhesive, then put the sea glass cardstock on top</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> the white using a foam adhesive</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">. Then, I’m gonna add the flowers that we just stamp.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Now, we’re gonna start a strip sentiment using the Altanew Mocha, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">we’re gonna be stamping the Thinking of you on to another piece of that</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">.

Today we creating a bright and happy card by stamping using our Unity stamps and a palette of watercolors!<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177572" height="644" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-2-of-31-1024x644.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
This is a super easy way to create a watercolor look card, with watercolors without actually having to be too careful about the proper shading.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177577" height="686" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-7-of-31-1024x686.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
For today's project I am using Gansai Tambi watercolor palette. For the florals I am working<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/step-out-peony/"> S<strong>tep Out Peony </strong></a>and for the sentiment I have got <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/i-am-with-you-october-2018-sentiment-kit/"><strong>I am with you </strong></a>stamp set.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177576" height="686" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-6-of-31-1024x686.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Since I am super impatient about ink drying time, I did use a black permanent ink on the vellum.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177574" height="686" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-4-of-31-1024x686.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
This is seriously super easy! Here is the full tutorial video. The one tip I should mention is don't use too much water when inking up the stamp with your watercolors. Make more of a paste like consistency.<br />
<br />

<br />
Super easy right?! If you don't have colored foam, you can use cardstock then place the foam adhesive on the back.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for joining me today!<br />

Today I am making a TON of clean and simple cards with basic supplies that are easy to mass produce! I am using the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Valentines 2019 Card Kit. I am only using a portion of what is included in the kit, so there is still a good amount left of product to use in your Valentine making.<br />

I have a problem. I am obsessed with the <strong>Circle Of Friendship</strong> stamp set and the <strong>Wreath Builder</strong> released earlier in the month. Just cannot stop using it and since I am dreaming of shades of violet, it seemed appropriate to try something different with the Wreath Builder.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177566" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-21-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
I LOOOOOVE clean and simple cards, and usually keep away from stamping on cardstocks other than white. So to challenge you and myself we are <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/wreath-builder-template/"><strong>wreath building</strong></a> on colored cardstock and keeping the sentiment on white. It sure makes it pop.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177565" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-20-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
The colors used for this card are: Daydream, It's a Boy, Aquatini, Green Tea, Lime Rickey, & Pixie Dust.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177560" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-15-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
A simple embellishment of pearl Nuvo tied all those colors quite nicely.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177562" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-17-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Of course I can tell you all about the steps to make this, fun it's just much simpler to show you.<br />
<br />
I can tell you tho, this is EASY!<br />

Crystal here with my MEGA floral wreath I promised last week during my Color Combos with Crystal. Anyone else craving spring?! I sure am, where we live in Wyoming, warm weather doesn't really arrive until Mid June. *true story. So while I wait, I have this super fun wreath stamped and no coloring involved.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177553" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-10-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
The color inspiration comes from the gorgeous faux flower I use as a prop. Colors used here are light pink, melon. Then for the leaves we have got mint and teal. The mat and sentiment are both in brown.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177554" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-11-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
The stamp sets for this are<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/step-out-peony/"><strong> Step Out Peony</strong> </a>& <strong><a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/obsessively-grateful/">Obsessively Grateful</a> </strong>for the sentiment.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177555" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-12-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
For this card I am stamping with the two colors, by simply applying the ink pad to half the image with one color, then adding the other color on the other half.<br />
<br />
I could keep confusing you, but instead I will re-direct you to my tutorial!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> To make this, I used Heffy Doodle Bubble Waves stencil. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I stamped the sentiment in a dark blue, and blended the ink with a brighter blue. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did leave a bif of a highlight at the sentiment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I added my intricate crab with foam adhesive. To finish off I added Nuvo Drops</span></div>

For today's project we are making faux tiles using the gorgeous T<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/tea-time-pattern/"><strong>ea Time Pattern background stamp. </strong></a><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177543" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-4-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
While browsing the endless pit that is Pinterest, I found this awesome kitchen back splash and immediately started scheming how I was going to turn it into a card.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-177548" height="425" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2018df4be7168c86ec354003a8856fb8.jpg" width="283" /><br />
<br />
So our color combos are Blue & White, and the sentiment is from the <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/grow-in-grace-april-2018-sentiment-kit/"><strong>Grow in Grace</strong></a> stamp set.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177545" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-6-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
This card falls under the clean and simple category minus the grout!<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177547" height="685" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-8-of-30-1024x685.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
All you need is your favorite white cardstock, heat embossing supplies and foam adhesive.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177546" height="737" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-7-of-30-1024x737.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
I of course made a quick tutorial video on this easy card!<br />
<br />
https://youtu.be/tWC6IcogLjQ<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-177542" height="647" src="https://blog.unitystampco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CT-CC-3-of-30-1024x647.jpg" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
I felt this card had a Mediterranean feel, don't you think?<br />
<br />
So to re-cap I used the <strong><a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/tea-time-pattern/">Tea Time Pattern Background</a> </strong>and the<a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/grow-in-grace-april-2018-sentiment-kit/"><strong> Grow in Grace</strong> </a>for the sentiment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today! Next week, I have a floral concoction you will absolutely love!<br />

Hi there! Today I have a quick post to show this easy color blending with coordinating stamp using the newest Stamp of Approval "Congratulations" stamp set. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAvgTRFHNw8iE0U61lvA2PM-3PAQ5oXDvaLCUNQrEzTcL8d2LyQzYAAkKBl1pvBp60G1MX9iQ4S2xSNi3oFL8yHVu2QaEr-seN4D0MWIFLSUqsEV1i3gOSzpyBx0yDQ5ieYZVaInEfwGOe/s1600/CT-++%252814+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="1080" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAvgTRFHNw8iE0U61lvA2PM-3PAQ5oXDvaLCUNQrEzTcL8d2LyQzYAAkKBl1pvBp60G1MX9iQ4S2xSNi3oFL8yHVu2QaEr-seN4D0MWIFLSUqsEV1i3gOSzpyBx0yDQ5ieYZVaInEfwGOe/s640/CT-++%252814+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This look was achieved by stamping each congratulations, then with the same ink color blending from the edge moving to the right.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYlv9xQr5MQjKY9y9tJ1pBpIcT3gIK2h-8OUG087xNu_06WG8OyQnJvBBKBSHkU8R14J2d2rytTKa4nT6V-UkGfwD3X8JFt7yuY80pcziZjCwT2vFU6k_6W7c1-YebQvVH3FedSn_NZ9v/s1600/CT-++%25284+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYlv9xQr5MQjKY9y9tJ1pBpIcT3gIK2h-8OUG087xNu_06WG8OyQnJvBBKBSHkU8R14J2d2rytTKa4nT6V-UkGfwD3X8JFt7yuY80pcziZjCwT2vFU6k_6W7c1-YebQvVH3FedSn_NZ9v/s640/CT-++%25284+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then the swirly squares were stamped and heat embossed in white.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9RCnPq4gevIDpLdLNCRiGvolN25lKGskV9yrHvgpf8my2fXbrOTLb9_m8AXv8qkuuyfiMgZCgeHMoRPcUEVO8TU98ulvEyxNfowX9uGX6J78vHARiZjx0h1H4U-dq2FRSgSOcaKMrttUf/s1600/CT-++%252812+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9RCnPq4gevIDpLdLNCRiGvolN25lKGskV9yrHvgpf8my2fXbrOTLb9_m8AXv8qkuuyfiMgZCgeHMoRPcUEVO8TU98ulvEyxNfowX9uGX6J78vHARiZjx0h1H4U-dq2FRSgSOcaKMrttUf/s640/CT-++%252812+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The whole thing was matted in white.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NwG1D2fUbHW_9dthOotZj3_HO6Zbvx5UYICAD6Wdg3LMwZDOAWc-IPyqSOOo8kLZuK3n4YEgmgeb4urDp2y60jxPsnn_lYCNrBXm2U1_Vh9Vl0r_iULfa1ooaSxM5frgC5kjogLTbgQI/s1600/CT-++%252813+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NwG1D2fUbHW_9dthOotZj3_HO6Zbvx5UYICAD6Wdg3LMwZDOAWc-IPyqSOOo8kLZuK3n4YEgmgeb4urDp2y60jxPsnn_lYCNrBXm2U1_Vh9Vl0r_iULfa1ooaSxM5frgC5kjogLTbgQI/s640/CT-++%252813+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
For a finishing touch I added little epoxy glitter circles.<br />
<br />
The colors for this came from the Spring Fling Collection available for purchase<a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/collections/ink/products/party-collection-spring-fling-ink-pad-bundle?aff=63" target="_blank"> <b>here</b></a><br />

Hi there! We are on day 3 of my Stamp of Approval Blog posts and today I am featuring the Happy Together birdies. In two different ways, first up is a silhouette against the sun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this I ink blended two shades of yellow Tiara first then Tiki Torch right on the center. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iHOV3yQd1WTUiE4QmqooFORaQACxrbuht3WsacVwsN7lmCmre4_x_EPTHYzgWHLrHg5t7mKJXkF7Z0DSNuQPzld2PmDir4RwkublIjqq51YUfY3JqkWisp13i8_upyJ0TqHXQCCk5uQ_/s1600/CT-++%252816+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iHOV3yQd1WTUiE4QmqooFORaQACxrbuht3WsacVwsN7lmCmre4_x_EPTHYzgWHLrHg5t7mKJXkF7Z0DSNuQPzld2PmDir4RwkublIjqq51YUfY3JqkWisp13i8_upyJ0TqHXQCCk5uQ_/s640/CT-++%252816+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Then in Midnight I stamped the birds.<br />
<br />
<br />
For my second version, I used the layering pieces of the birds and put the birds in a blue transparent Nuvo drop moon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsXOi1qGCFhTk5lx0jIrcASXKUvt-_dWHDb6JYPfEl_4x2ff1V6GNENKF8CBlTyyWCJB9JWLXxFFbXGEd2YQHJPaiD6HGiMnMgmSlejXLRcw0e3tnZujjsU7zsY3_ap56HEJePPybgSaG/s1600/CT-++%252817+of+51%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1080" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsXOi1qGCFhTk5lx0jIrcASXKUvt-_dWHDb6JYPfEl_4x2ff1V6GNENKF8CBlTyyWCJB9JWLXxFFbXGEd2YQHJPaiD6HGiMnMgmSlejXLRcw0e3tnZujjsU7zsY3_ap56HEJePPybgSaG/s640/CT-++%252817+of+51%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For this, I stamped the birds, the on a separate card stock stamped the branch in Sand Stone, and hand cut it. Before placing the branch, I added the sentiment in Tiki Torch. Then added the branch with foam adhesive.<br />
<br />
With a pencil I drew a half circle, stamped hearts and filled the entire thing with Nuvo drops leaving the birds dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To make this I started by brush the <b><a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/products/mint-to-be-ink-pad-and-refill?aff=63" target="_blank">Mint to Be</a></b> on the bottom left of the cardstock, then blending to right. Stopping about 1/4 of the way to leave the white exposed. The same process was done with the Fiesta Blue in the center, then finished up the blending the <a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/products/daydream-ink-pad-and-refill?aff=63" target="_blank">Daydream. </a><br />

<br />
My idea behind this card, was to create something woodsy, with a distress look. Yet allowing the gorgeous stamp sets come through. I think this is as mixed media as I get.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This hop is a bit different, the lineup is on the <a href="https://blog.unitystampco.com/2018/11/celebrating-unity-stamp-company-brown-thursday-with-a-special-hop-with-my-sweet-petunia/" target="_blank">Unity</a> and <a href="http://blog.mysweetpetunia.com/2018/11/bundle-up.html" target="_blank">My Sweet Petunia</a> blog, I suggest holding the CTRL button down and click each person's name. Then their page will load on an individual tab! (my favorite way of doing it)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There is also an Instagram hop. My handle is @crystal_thompson_design.</span><br />

Hi there crafty friend! Thank you so much for making the stop on my blog coming from the super talented <a href="https://lollyrot-scrapbooking.blogspot.com/search/label/Reverse%20Confetti" target="_blank">Maria Sabina</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For today I have a project using some of my favorite Cotton and Thistle set. I grew up in Texas with fields upon fields of cotton, so this set reminds me of my childhood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglG0uwu6QlHqCCaPfswjuL8XeeVtoDY3CY_kTkkxwz5LhT_dJBFFhUONKV2x9K-XcEteuOcihZqWdr4Mp6E1xEpDQR1bwZ1lIpuiqHn0GeGoKPA39pWAPVkvr-F3W4b-yXSciW9a_C9tuf/s1600/PM+October++%25281+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1194" data-original-width="1600" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglG0uwu6QlHqCCaPfswjuL8XeeVtoDY3CY_kTkkxwz5LhT_dJBFFhUONKV2x9K-XcEteuOcihZqWdr4Mp6E1xEpDQR1bwZ1lIpuiqHn0GeGoKPA39pWAPVkvr-F3W4b-yXSciW9a_C9tuf/s640/PM+October++%25281+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I felt this image should be minimally colored, and allow the beauty of the cotton to show through.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVHNhhgoUpXWn95NoWqZX51AIFxtJhDC4Ld26pTTHp6mLr2NTbDxPIj-HePkUISp6wKbs8SHnXj3Q7Do9v7SRMdNolB0hfUMKLcc0ZhxZw0FEQ_UKI6ZlNWOqodAAP4ZGTODw5p3J6wMW/s1600/PM+October++%25282+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzVHNhhgoUpXWn95NoWqZX51AIFxtJhDC4Ld26pTTHp6mLr2NTbDxPIj-HePkUISp6wKbs8SHnXj3Q7Do9v7SRMdNolB0hfUMKLcc0ZhxZw0FEQ_UKI6ZlNWOqodAAP4ZGTODw5p3J6wMW/s640/PM+October++%25282+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To make this card, I matted a white piece of Neenah 110 lb cardstock over a kraft sheet cut 5.50 in by 4.25 in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOS8XcTy_N_9mUW3bTWgrJcVoTIMVljwjloVh9E1HVnE14k1uqIFrxIeIYRcwptCfK2_M-FOYkOooJTT07vCCwlEZ3bmNqwn_TBqUlJed-Lo0cNsHLZ0dt7gwtLMtc21jqGqhxJQpJqbJb/s1600/PM+October++%25283+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOS8XcTy_N_9mUW3bTWgrJcVoTIMVljwjloVh9E1HVnE14k1uqIFrxIeIYRcwptCfK2_M-FOYkOooJTT07vCCwlEZ3bmNqwn_TBqUlJed-Lo0cNsHLZ0dt7gwtLMtc21jqGqhxJQpJqbJb/s640/PM+October++%25283+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
With blue watercolor, I layered a couple washes and set the cardstock aside to dry. The vase and the stems were stamped, die cut then glued together. I then added clear Nuvo Drops to create a water effect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHeC7-kzq5PMfbQWpW1mZlq_-Zr_wlp2aVPFCBElXh5YbFwUXx1JJhqUTHhdgJOomhVds5L-4DkV5Vo_bMOQNpWXWbdnh8xn0zZ4N3OqQ2PN3wFzE4_fP7HvCx93bkK4yd4HmcZk8pu6D/s1600/PM+October++%25284+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHeC7-kzq5PMfbQWpW1mZlq_-Zr_wlp2aVPFCBElXh5YbFwUXx1JJhqUTHhdgJOomhVds5L-4DkV5Vo_bMOQNpWXWbdnh8xn0zZ4N3OqQ2PN3wFzE4_fP7HvCx93bkK4yd4HmcZk8pu6D/s640/PM+October++%25284+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The cotton was left white as the cardstock and added a pearl white Nuvo drops.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYqmqAx5yhB9K1kiKqZbOgSVqfPbe46od7cu8p7rekQTFcN38D7os0-ZkJQKakknjLuL96NFW5yxTSiknpR7waho6F3OD6yUvCYsZPc2HaUOOymcyn7jPA-FJ95eXl4i5Jaz9QOgQOFjL/s1600/PM+October++%25285+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYqmqAx5yhB9K1kiKqZbOgSVqfPbe46od7cu8p7rekQTFcN38D7os0-ZkJQKakknjLuL96NFW5yxTSiknpR7waho6F3OD6yUvCYsZPc2HaUOOymcyn7jPA-FJ95eXl4i5Jaz9QOgQOFjL/s640/PM+October++%25285+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Then the whole thing was placed on the card panel with foam adhesive, and decorated with more clear Nuvo drops to make a waterdroppelet effect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG4AUUuW6jgMN7LTJsL3djAn7sPfcqzU5q6P8YsFKalfxBq1vbhIar1YsrYwALV_1iAb-XIkbCc-ygmTK8XPy8CMQmKEF44wj3fS0e1sd1ICuLT9XD_Gw5t0H6Gt5XSy4hJggvTGrVlD8/s1600/PM+October++%25286+of+6%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1104" data-original-width="1268" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG4AUUuW6jgMN7LTJsL3djAn7sPfcqzU5q6P8YsFKalfxBq1vbhIar1YsrYwALV_1iAb-XIkbCc-ygmTK8XPy8CMQmKEF44wj3fS0e1sd1ICuLT9XD_Gw5t0H6Gt5XSy4hJggvTGrVlD8/s640/PM+October++%25286+of+6%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

The bears on this stamp set were just begging to be water colored, so with that in mind I decided to keep the card on a Clean and Simple vision with minimal embellishment.<br />

To make this card, I heat embossed the bear image with gold embossing powder on regular 110lb white cardstock. </div>

Once the image had dried up, I went ahead and hand cut around the image, and set aside.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now for my background , I have a piece of light kraft cardstock cut 4.25 in by 5.50in. Then I layered a white cardstock that is .25 in smaller than my base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once everything was layered, with a clean brush I drew a circle on the cardstock with clean water, then dropped some lilac water. Once that dried, I water colored a blue circle, and splattered blue watercolor. Before it all dried, I did a few flickers of dark pink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once everything has dried, I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder Promise You Won't Forget Me. To add some sparkle with gold spray, I added flickers to the entire card.To finish up, I placed the bear with foam adhesive above the sentiment.<br />
<br />
I love the way this card turned out, very soft and subtle yet clean. Now don't go anywhere yet, I have a second card with a different technique.<br />
<br />

For this card, the background is using the ever popular ink smooching technique, however I did it with some different ink that made this look kinda like alcohol blends. Let me tell you how I did this. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLxCbJhErtVnkb5a2cpFx8xfFwlwNV7oqZGmeL_PDbaIwKOvrWgGzWwsIS6xhV_kiUAwNwR8mrhGC0pUd1JX5eqMel-G6mnBHCl6xdEv9gm2xgkfY5e4o95MhKpoC2Kc3eZ6hKXLzsORvG/s1600/crytal+thompson++%25285+of+10%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLxCbJhErtVnkb5a2cpFx8xfFwlwNV7oqZGmeL_PDbaIwKOvrWgGzWwsIS6xhV_kiUAwNwR8mrhGC0pUd1JX5eqMel-G6mnBHCl6xdEv9gm2xgkfY5e4o95MhKpoC2Kc3eZ6hKXLzsORvG/s640/crytal+thompson++%25285+of+10%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Since the background on this is a background was too busy, I thought the bear should be simple and colored with Copics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To make the background, I used Distress Oxydes. I thought the formula would work well to smooch and it would react different to a dye ink. On a piece of acetate I swirled Cracked Pistachio, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet and Broken China. Then I added a couple drops of water on the acetate. I did not blend blend the colors, just add the drops.<br />
<br />
Then on the cardstock that is to be smooched, I added a wash of clean water with my large brush. Then I smooched the paper onto the colors and lifted. I had some white left on my cardstock, so I turned the page and smooched again. Then allow it to air dry for about 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
