Make it Crafty Grace Dreaming

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a very summery Make it Crafty card, using one of the latest digis released - Grace Dreaming! 

 

I printed Grace Dreaming and a part of my beloved The Beach digi on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured them in Copics. I die cut my beach with a Spellbinders circle die to match my Delicate Ornate Circle Frame, coloured in E59 Copic. I added a little chipboard heart from the Outlined Words With Love set, coloured it in gold with a Pitt pen and added Stickles to it.

Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Whimsical Gnomes and Hello Spring

Colouring: Watercolour on Canson Montval

I created a little scene combining 2 stamps sets: the little girl and the mushroom are from the Whimsical Gnomes set and the hedgehog and butterfly are from the Hello Spring set. I felt like doing a bit of watercolouring so I stamped my 4 images in Versafine on watercolour paper and used my watercolour paints to colour the scene.

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Now that you have all the details, here are my projects for today, using a combination of the 4 new stamp sets:

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps

Inks: Memento Luxe, Versafine, Stazon on Canson Montval

Aren't those images too cute?? I completely fell in love! 

I did not colour at all for this first card (shocking ;)!!), only stamped! To create my scene, I used... nineteen stamps!!! There are soooooo many stamps in these new sets which allow for plenty of combinations, and they are extremely simple to stamp!!

For card number 2, I used another animal, an adorable little rabbit...

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps

Colouring: Zig on Canson Montval

Die: Lawn Fawn

I love the sentiments, they are so sweet too :) For that card, I only added a bit of colour using my Zig wtc pens and went for a very CAS look with a lot of white space.
I have only used the rabbit (and the birds and a butterfly) in my cards, but you will see other animals in this release :)!

And here is project #3, a little ornament:

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps
MDF: Paperbabe Stamps
Colouring: Acrylic (Fresco, Pebeo, Ceramcoat, Liquitex markers) and Posca

I used some of the new MDF substrates, the coordinating MDF shapes for the Woodland elements, the oval and the frame. I stamped directly on the shapes after applying white acrylic paint. For the background, I painted my oval with a mix of acrylic paints (Fresco, Pebeo, Ceramcoat, Liquitex markers) and added a bit of Posca. The frame was covered in Pebeo gold paint, then I glued all my pieces together :)  

Thank you very much for your visit, have fun hopping and good luck!! Hugs,
