Rainbows and Unicorns

Hi and thank you so much for stopping by today.  I have a really different kind of share today only because i wanted to play a little and create something that inspired me by the sentiment of my stamp.
I use the new "Wishing you Whimsey" stamp set and tried some new pearl paper and a watercolor technique to make it.

 So i wanted to make a kind of watercolor rainbow for my card so i got out my distress inks in a few rainbow colors and layered them on my craft mat like you see below.  Then i spritzed it slightly with water and pressed my pearlescent paper into it.

For the paper less water will give it more color and when you heat set it with a heat tool to dry it the water kind of bleeds all around and gives it a fun effect like you see below.

When the paper was dry i cut out a pretty frame with one of Becca Feekens new dies called Hemstitch Rectangles.  It fit perfect around the watercolors and flattened it just the right amount. 

Then i cut a pink mat to go around the frame and then glued it on a kraft card that i made to fit.  The sentiment was stamped in Black Onyx Versafine ink and i added just a bit of sparkle with some superfine glitter and a few flowers to make it more magical.

Oh and i also watered down just a little bit of pink ink and splatted it onto the card with a paint brush to give it a little more pizazz.  And that's it.  Something new and fun to try with your Quietfire design sentiment stamps.  Below is the whole set with all the other cute sentiments that it has in it.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a really fun and crafty day.

Special Hugs For You

Today I have a friendship card created using a combination of the A Way With Words die sets and a rubber stamp.  This is Selma Stevenson and I love the way we can combine our die sets and or stamp sets to create a variety of sentiments.   Do you mix and match your dies to come up with fun sentiments?

I used four different A Way With Words die sets along with one stamp from a set of five.

Use the Special die from this A Way With Words die set.

Use this A Way With Words die set to die cut the Forever sentiment.  Since only the word FOR is needed, carefully trim off the ever and flourishes along the bottom, with scissors, as shown on the card.

Use the Thanks Cuddler Set of 7 stamp set and use the for being my friend stamp to white emboss under the white die cut sentiments.

The die cut on the lower left of the card is the Lovebirds die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Small flowers from the CountryScapes Clematis-Ivy set was die cut and attached to the branches.

I hope you have fun looking for new sentiments you can create by combining dies from different sets.
