Hi everyone! :) I hope you are having a wonderful day! I have a new card and video tutorial to share with you today showing how I created this adorable scene using my distress inks, watercolor, and this adorable image from Craftin Desert Divas. Here's my video:
And here are some pictures of my card:
For this card, I used the adorable Dino Dig Stamp Set. I created the main panel using a could stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Ink. I then cut another panel the same size and then cut out two "sand dunes" using the Ocean Border Dies. I inked them with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain distress inks and then spritzed the with water for a fun distress look. I then water colored the cute dinosaur image using my Zig Markers and a water brush. I used the following Zig markers: Blue, Gray, Olive Green, Light Brown, and Brown. For a finishing touch, I added a few sequins. Just a super simple, but fun card that lets you practice with a couple techniques. I hope you enjoy the card and video. Thank you so much as always for stopping by!!!

Today I've created a fun card using the brand new stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Mermaid Lagoon. This is one of my most favorite stamp sets of all time I think :) I just love it! I created a video tutorial sharing how I colored my mermaid with copic markers and I also share how I created the fun watercolor background on my card. Here's my video:
And here are some pictures:
I used the following copic colors on my mermaid: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, E23, E25, E29, Y35, Y38, E18, YR04, YR07, YR09, RV10, R81, R83, R85, R89. I used my Gansai Tambi watercolor paints to create the fun background. The sentiment also comes from a brand new stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Summer Vibin', which is also a super cute set. To finish the card off, I added some sequins from Studio Katia and some Baker's Twine from my stash. What do you think?

Hi everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I have a video tutorial and two cards to share. I wanted to share how I created this fun background on my card using Distress Oxide inks. I'm also showcasing a brand new stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Sunny Vibin. It is so cute! Here's my video:
And here are some pictures:
For this card, I used Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxie inks to create the background. I used Zig Markers to color the flamingo. I used the following Zig Markers for my coloring: Flamingo Pink, Orange, Yellow, Peach Pink. I covered the image with glitter with my Wink of Stella Pen. I cut out the rectangles using the Fancy Frames dies from Craftin' Desert Divas. To finish it off, I added some sequins and twine from my stash.
Here's a second card I created with this stamp set:
For this card, I used Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Cracked Pistashio Distress Oxide Inks to create the colors of the waves and then used the new wave die to cut them out. I colored the image with my Zigs (Violet, Light Violet, Light Blue, Light Pink, Yellow).
I hope you enjoyed today's cards and video. Thanks so much as always for stopping by!
Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. I have a new video tutorial and a couple cards to share today using some adorable mermaid stamps from a brand new soon to be released stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas. Here's my video showing how I colored one of the sweet mermaid images with copics:
To see the video I already did on the underwater background scene, see this video here:

Here's another card I created using this adorable set:
For this card, I also used the Francy Frame Dies to cut out the rectangles. I used watercolor cardstock and Gansai Tambi pearlescent paints to create the shimmery background. I used copics to color the mermaid and sea weed. Copics used: E21, E23, E25, E29, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, Y35, Y38, E18, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, G21, G24, G28. The mound of sand she is sitting on was cut from some brand new soon to be released sea dies from Craftin' Desert Divas. I cut it out with Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored it with a Dark Brown Zig Marker and my water brush.
I hope you enjoyed today's video and cards. Thanks so much as always for stopping by.
Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful week! I have a video tutorial today to share how I created a fun desert sunset scene using Gansai Tambi watercolor paints. Here's the video:
And here are some pictures of the finished card:
The adorable images came from Craftin' Desert Divas new release. This particular set is called Wild West and I love it! I colored all the images with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I used Black, Light Pink, Dark Pink, Pink, Yellow, Brown, and Light Gray for the raccoon sheriff. For the horse, I used Dark Brown, Light Brown, Brown, and Yellow.

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I have a fun new video to share with you today using some watercolor techniques and some brand new stamps from Craftin' Desert Divas. Today, I used the adorable Coffee Wizards Stamp Set. How cute is this set?!?! :) I did some water coloring in the background using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then water colored the cute goat and coffee bag using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used Violet, Deep Violet, Brown, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Yellow, Blue, Light Pink, and Gray to color the images. Here's my video tutorial:
And here are some pictures:
I also added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to the water colored background, once it dried, and to the critter, added some Glossy Accents to the coffee, and then adhered the whole panel (which I cut out using the fancy frame dies from Craftin' Desert Divas), onto a brown notecard (which I cut from Chocolate Chip cardstock from Stampin' Up!). I added some sequins and some a piece of twine. What do you think?
Well, that's it from me today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll catch you back here tomorrow for another video :)
Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful week and have something fun or crafty planned for the weekend :) I'm so excited to be sharing another card for Craftin' Desert Divas featuring a brand new soon to be released stamp set called Coffee Wizards! How adorable is this stamp set! All of this week's new releases will be available today at 3:00 p.m. EST over at Craftin' Desert Divas. I did a video tutorial for today's card so here it is:
And here are some photographs:
I first cut out a rectangle using the fancy frames die set from Craftin' Desert Divas. I then stamped all the images with Hero Arts Black Dye Ink. I then colored the images with my Zig markers and a water brush. I used Black, Violet, Yellow, Brown, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Light Blue, Light Gray and Light Pink. I then masked off the images and did some distress ink blending with my Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink. I then adhered some sequins (the purple ones are from a new pack available from Craftin' Desert Divas with this new release) and the adhered the panel to a standard notecard. What do you think?
Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with another video! :)
Hi everyone! I hope your week is going well. I have a fun card to share with you today. I am honored and thrilled to share with you that I am a new member on the Craftin' Desert Divas design team. I am sharing a video tutorial today on a new card I made using the brand new soon to be released Monster Carnival stamp set. This set was so fun. The card I made is super simple and would easily have fit into one video . . . unfortunately, I was having some cameral problems and had to split it into two videos. Here's Part One:
And Part Two:
And here are some pictures:
I stamped the adorable images with my Hero Arts Dye black ink and then colored them with my Zig markers. For the monster, I used Oragne and LIght Pink and for the cotton candy stand, I used Light Pink, Light Blue, Orange, Light Brown, and Deep Brown. I created my distress oxide background using Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade distress inks. I used Nuvo Drops to create the enamel looking dots. What do you think?
Well, that's it from me today. I hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks so much as always for stopping by.
