TAWS post #54 - Hello Beautiful Baby

Hi Friends!  Meredith here bringing you a project that I made using three different Alley Way sets called Words To Live By, Little Fellas and All Washed Up.  I did a wild and funky watercolored main image and then layered my papers keeping it cool and neutral.  I created a little heart embellishment by cutting multiple hearts out of my favorite glitter paper and then stitching them together for a layered and dimensional look!

I love that this could be used for a birthday card or a welcome baby card!  The possibilites are endless with these wonderful sets from The Alley Way Stamps!

Thanks for coming by today!

TAWS post #32 - Splash!

Greetings Friends!  Thanks for popping by today.  My card today features 3 new Alley Way sets: All Washed Up, Little Fellas and Something's Fishy.

I used a watercolor panel that I had predone and backed it with some super awesome glitter cardstock that I'm only slightly obsessed with!  I added some enamel dots and stars and left a wide border of white on my card base.

I love how the watercolor simply settles where it decided to which gives it a fun and funky look!

Happy Friday and until next time!!

Crafty Hugs!

TAWS New Release Peek Day #1 - I Love You A Ton!

Greetings Friends! Welcome to the sneak peeks for this month's Alley Way awesome release!!!  Today's creation features an ADORABLE Narwhal that I've water colored.  I used my Kurtake Gansai Tambi paints to create depth and translucency in this scene.  I chose my Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to create crisp looking waves in the background.

I cut my main panel using a set of Spellbinders circles and using 3-D craft foam popped the entire layer up onto a glitter matte.  The glitter paper was purchased in the open stock section at Michael's.  I love it as it's chunky and bright looking but it doesn't rub off and get everywhere.  It's a good quality glitter paper and it comes in a lot of colors.  It sells for $1.99 for a 12" x 12" sheet.  But they always have sales so I stock up when I can!  No, I don't work for Michael's.  I just really like the stuff.

I used a sketch from MFT to create the rest of my project.  I layered lots of different papers using varying size banners.  I added some glitter paper strips to the edges and some enamel dots to finish it off.

Thanks so much for coming by today!  I'm so excited for you to see the rest of the release!

Crafty Hugs!
