Whimsical Creations: July 2022

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog - the gang is back!

Hi friends! I am so excited to announce the design team is B-A-C-K at Love to Scrap! It's always Anything Goes and we love seeing your creations!

This month, I'm sharing a Christmas card I created - sadly, I created it a few months ago, so let's see if I can test this 'older' memory and remember how I created it. 😁

The floral stamp in the background is Hope from Concord & 9th; I think it may be retired, but found it elsewhere. I used watercolor paper, spritzed the base image before stamping and then added the other layers full strength.

I also stamped this Tim Holtz ledger stamp in multiple places. I added lots of sponging then tapped on some white gouache and Crankling Campfire distress spray. Finished it off with washi tape, an embossed sentiment on vellum, and lots of Doodlebug sprinkles.

The sentiment and die cut are from Honey Bee, Fa La La (retired).

Thanks for popping in; hope to see you again soon!

WHAT'S IT TAKE:

Stamps: Concord & 9th Hope, Honey Bee Fa La La, Tim Holtz Ledger

Inks: TE Inks, Distress Oxide Inks

Papers: Neenah 110 lb. white, watercolor paper

Accessories: Honey Bee Fa La La die, WOW embossing powder, washi tape, Doodlebug Sprinkles

WE'RE BACK!! Mix It Up Challenge - Clean and Simple

Hi there! The design team for the Mix It Up Challenge Blog is B-A-C-K! The blog never stopped, but most of the designers took a long break and I think it's been good for everyone! Leslie, our blog queen, made some tweaks and I think they are really good - I'm excited to participate with the team!

I hope you will play along; it's always Anything Goes with a twist - you can choose to play the twist, or not. We just love seeing your creations!

I absolutely love these poppies from Reverse Confetti; so much you can do with them. I wanted a set of notecards and this was the perfect opportunity to put them to use and keep the cards clean and simple! This card was also CASEd Stampingville, I added some soft background stamping to each card. Which color is your favorite?
