TAWS post #39 - #LOVE U

Good morning crafty friends!!   Thanks for joining me today as I share my watercolor end creation using The Alley Way sets Tickle Me Happy and a new set called Lite Brite.  I sat down when I had a few minutes and made a bunch of panels using the beautiful feathers from the Tickle Me Happy set.  I kept each panel simple using a monochromatic scheme, this card in different shades of orange with my Distress Inks.  Once the color was down, I sprayed my panel with pearlized water in a mini mister   bottle.

I added my sentiment using the set Lite Brite using my Hero Arts ink in purple.  I added some enamel dots and attached my panel to an orange card base.

Simple and beautiful!  And an easy way to create many cards at once!

Thanks for joining me today!

See you soon!

TAWS post #38 - Hello

Greetings Friends!  I'm here today bringing you a Distress Inked rainbow creation using one of The Alley Way's newly release sets called Lite Brite.  This is a super simple project.  Sometimes I have the time to create lengthy pieces and other times it has to be quick as we homeschool our now 3rd and 5th grader and I also have a 2 year old so crafty time is beyond limited.

Anyway, for this I pulled out my Distress Inks using Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves.  I then misted them a few times with my Perfect Pearls water and let them sit to dry.  I love the natural effect of the blurred edges that you get from this technique.

I then adhered my panel to black cardstock and then to my green card base.  I added some glittery washi tape and purple sequins as an added embellished touch.

Thanks so much for coming by today!

See you soon!

TAWS New Release Blog Hop - June 2015 - #WISHBIG

Good Morning TAWS friends!!  I'm so happy to be here with today's new release blog hop!!  You should be arriving via my fellow TAWS friend Marina's blog.  

Today my creation features the new set Lite Brite!  It's the cutest throw back set...especially those of us who are 'children of the 80's!!'  I also used an older TAWS set called Tickle Me Happy to create my feathery background.  I used a few different color Distress Inks for the background misting my stamped images generously with my perfect pearl water (white Perfect Pearls Pigment Powder - say THAT 3 times fast mixed in a mister with regular water) to create the blurry look.  I then took my Lite Brite set and using some Hero Arts Dye Ink in charcoal I stamped my bold sentiment.  

I added some sticky back gems scattered throughout the card and I used a wafer thin die to cut out the small and large butterflies from open stock glitter paper from Michael's.  I used some colored twine to create the butterfly body and antennas.  

I matted my panel on some dark grey Bazzill cardstock and then onto my card base.  

Thanks SO much for coming by today!  I love sharing my projects!  Your next stop is fellow team mate N@Ali's blog!!

Hope you have a marvelously crafty day!
