Hello everyone! I’m back to share another card for my AECP Level 1 Journey. This card is inspired by the “Seasonal Scene Building” class taught by Nichol Magouirk (Spohr). Building scenes is definitely something I struggle with! I very rarely make cards like this so it was nice to step out of my comfort zone! For this card, I used the Mountain Scene Stencil  as the focal point. I ink blended the mountain landscape and to frame the scene I took a tip from the course, and made a window!! I didn’t have a window die so I just made my own using scraps of white cardstock and I think it worked perfectly. To finish off the card, I used one of my favorite sentiment sets, Label Love, and added a cute sentiment that I thought was very appropriate (and pun-ny) for the mountain scene!  Thanks for stopping by!

Another lovely image from All Dressed Up for this card! I was still in the mood to play around with my distress oxides so I ink blended the background and stamped some fun white embossed elements.  I colored the image using colored pencils and mounted it on a patterned cardstock that had silver diagonal stripes. I used the "Happy Holiday" sentiment from a wooden stamp I had in my stash and used a piece of bow to embellish it! Lastly, added some winter-y sequins to top it all off! Thanks for stopping by!

  Sassy and Crafty is the lovely sponsor this week at  Passionate Paper Crafters and Family Facebook Group ! We have lots of fun and a special discount just for this promo!  There were so many stamps to choose from- I decided on the  "Never Grow Up"  stampset!  When I saw this set, I started to imagine lots of shine and glitter.  Enter--> Foiling!  I don't have a foiling machine..nor I do I plan to buy one soon but I came across lots of no-heat foiling techniques using  iCraft Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo . I used the "Mermaid Tails" Stencil and applied the Transfer Gel Duo. After letting it dry until it was clear, I took pink foil and laid it on top then peeled it off. I like the textured effect this gave, to give a more solid look, I think I would need to add more gel. I wanted to go for a "no line" coloring effect. So I stamped the two fairies in a light brown/tan ink from Stampin' Up. I colored the images in with colored pencil and fussy...

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set,  Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card!     I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...
