Hello there!

Here I am with a bright encouraging card using Crackerbox & Suzy stamps.  I love our sentiments with deep meaning or motivating words to cheer sombody up. Sometimes it's very important.

I used:

Butterflies Solid Lg.

Be fearless

Peeled Paint DO ink

 I have a box with different die cut negatives or scraps of pretty papers and I keep them to make another cards, I prefer "scrapless" crafting :) and this time I found a nice panel with die cut leaves ( that was Altenew Fantasy Floral die), adhered it to the card base and traced the leaves with a black liner.

Then die cut a heart ( it's by Agiart company)  and sponged it with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink and sprinled with water. Stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, and butterflies on some white cardstock, then fussy cut with scissors.

Night village card

Hello there, crafty friends!

Today I'd like to share with you a card I made some time ago and even taught classes in Moscow in April showing how to make this card.

Talking about the supply list:

The fox stamp - Hero Arts -Winter Time Fun

Dandelion stamps - Scrapberry's -Wind of Travel

Sentiment stamp - Cas-ual Fridays -Powerful Words

House border die - Agiart -Little Village Houses ( designed by me)

Dry watercolor powder  - Fabrika Decoru - Magic Paints.

To make this background I covered the entire watercolor panel with water, diluted a bit of powder of each color with water on an acrylic block and made colorful puddles, watching the color to move. Let it dry, then sprinkled with white paint to imitate stars. The stamping on top was made with black Archival ink.
