Hello there, today's card is for all the Boy Moms out there. A super cute stamp set from The Ink Road Stamps called Boy Mom is new for me and just loved creating this card. I've said this before, that I like to create when the mood strikes and this time I used a background from one of those occasions. It's made with direct to paper distress inking, a little blending and finally spritzing the back of a stencil with water, and applying it to my inked paper. A paper towel soaks up extra water and once it's dry you get a cool background! I've had the stencil for a long time and I'm sorry I don't have the name for you :(
I simply placed my images in my MISTI, stamped with onyx ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set. I went on to mat black card stock before adhering to my card base. Pretty fast card and when you already have a background done - pretty easy also!
Have a great day and keep on crafting!

Hello there, got a card today that I made for my Grandson Dominic. He's really into video games and happened on one of those great clearance section at Hobby Lobby and snagged this beauty on sale with him in mind. A personalized card is going to mean a lot to him, so I pulled out my luggage tag alphabet dies. Here's a hint - I didn't clip each letter out, I clipped each row and kept them together when I first removed them from the package (I'm talking about the little tabs that hold all the dies together). This way there is less to lose and I'll keep the extra letters in a plastic sleeve. I die cut his name and the game dies out of black card stock. The screen piece has lots of white pigment ink rubbed on. The sentiment was cut from mirror shiny card stock. My background is done with a stencil, stencil brush and two colors of ink. The borders of the stencil and backing piece are cut with stitched rectangles dies. Glue brought this all together - easy peasy.
Have a great day and keep on crafting!

Hello all,
From the moment I saw the Tim Holtz Distress Blender Brush being demonstrated, I knew I needed them! It took me a while to lay my hands on them but I got them now! I started my card with a stencil in the May 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit and taped it to Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Card Stock. Using three colors of Distress Oxide Inks (Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover) I dabbed, pounced and brushed with my new brush and it was awesome (imagine me singing that last word)! Stenciling with ink hasn't been a fav of mine - Not Anymore-love those brushes! After I removed the stencil, I added stamped leaves in those same three colors. Then I stamped (from the May Kit) the swinging boy in Tuxedo Black Ink and the sentiment with VersaMark Ink on black card stock and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.
To pull my card together, I die cut the sentiment with Stitched Rectangle Die but realized it was too large. So I trimmed the top and bottom off and used foam mounting tape for dimension. I added sequins with Ranger Multi Matte Medium. Then for a bit more detail, I added leaf doodles with a Stardust Gel Pen. All of this mounted onto my card base.
Have a great day and keep crafting!
