Hi Friends – Hope you had a great weekend! It was a very sunny, hot, and humid weekend here! I love the sunshine… so it felt good! I did have a little more crafty time with the added heat this weekend! Today I am sharing one of the new releases from Unity Stamp Company – Be a Flamingo! I love this set – this set makes me dream of a beach vacation! Be sure to check out the Unity website – for the awesome releases this weekend! There is a set for everyone… Fall, Winter, and a beautiful holiday background stamp too! I have linked them all below!

Let’s get started! I started by stamping the flamingo. I used my Tombow brush pens. I did very simple coloring for the flamingo. I only used 2 colors. I also colored in the palm leaves using a green shade, leaving this coloring very simple. I did add some glitter drops on top of the leaves too. Once my coloring was complete I set the flamingo aside and started to work on my background! I was excited to use my new stencil, a recent purchase from Unity Stamp Company. It is a cloud and wave stencil all in one! I was so excited to use this stencil. I used the following Distress Oxide ink colors for the clouds: Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, and Squeezed Lemonade! I had fun making clouds – this was new for me! Once my clouds were complete I masked a section on the bottom to add leaves. I created a rectangle shape using washi tape. I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil – Leafy Frames with Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron I wanted to add these leaves to add a tropical feel.

Next up was creating the water and how fun to use this 2 in 1 stencil. I moved my washi rectangle to create the waves. I used Distress Oxide in Salty ocean. I then added Glitter Glaze on top for added shine! Once everything was dry I die cut the card base using the largest of the Gina Marie designs double stitched rectangle. I then used a smaller one for the middle of the card. I then adhered the outer frame to my card base and used foam tape to adhere the middle portion of my card. I glued down the sentiments (this is one large sentiment and I split it into 2 sentiments). I used foam tape for the flamingo too!

I had a lot of fun using this new set! I love the beach, so this set just makes me smile!!!!!!

Miss your Face – Brutus Monroe

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends! I hope you are doing well. I am stopping in to share a bright and colorful card inspired by Jennifer McQuire. She is amazing and teaches me something new all the time! I was inspired by a recent you tube video she shared using multiple colors on stencils. I had to try it and I had the perfect stencil in my stash from Brutus Monroe – Circle Tone. I hope you enjoy my card and if you see some items I use that inspire you, I would love it if you shopped using my affiliate links! Thank you!

I started by placing my stencil on bristol smooth card stock. I taped it down to ensure it didn’t move! Overall I did pretty good, but I did have some ink move to other colors, but I was still happy with this bright fun card in the end! I used a rainbow of distress oxide inks (candied apple, spiced marmalade, squeezed lemonade, lucky clover, salty ocean, and seedless preserves). I started with the red and worked my way towards the purple color. I used my blending brushes and used my hand to cover the section next to it. You can see why I had a couple go over, but that’s ok!

I set my panel aside to dry for a bit. I worked on the sentiment. I love this one – miss your face! It’s so fun! I used the Super Sentimental set. I embossed the image using Brutus Monroe embossing ink and alabaster embossing powder. I placed foam adhesive under the sentiment and set it aside.

I was so excited to add all the glitter and sparkles using – Glitter Glaze (falling Snow). It is currently sold out at the moment. They do have other ones available here, as well as a monthly subscription! How fun! I used my spatula to place the glaze over the stencil and once it was complete I removed the stencil and set the panel aside to dry. Once my panel was dry I trimmed the panel a bit, as I wanted to show the back aqua card panel. I loved the addition of the aqua color and then I added the sentiment and my card was complete!

I hope you enjoyed this card and it brings you a little bit of happiness and sparkle to your day!
