    Blessed - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

    Happy Tuesday!!  It's time for my latest Brea Reese brand ambassador post, and now that it's "officially" fall (even though it's HUMID outside!) I'm all about pumpkins, gourds and warm colors.  My background was made with a combination of my go-to Brea Reese Glitter Inks for the background, dropping in Gold Liquid Metals here and there, then I added water to blend the colors.  I LOVE how you never know what you'll get when you do this!  The label sentiment was colored the same way with Orange and Yellow colors.  The stamped images were colored not only with the Glitter Inks but with Watercolor Inks and Fineliner Pens as well. 



    Be sure to check out the Glitter Inks and all the other Brea Reese products!!  Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!!

    Happy Always - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post

    Happy Hump Day!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I made a girly paper pieced card today!  I wanted to do a fair bit of stamping since it IS STAMPtember, so I grabbed my Watercolor Splash paper pad to do all my stamping and piecing.  The marbled-like backgrounds make the girl's dress pop don't you think?  I actually used the Gemstones paper pad for the girl's skin, and the card's background paper is the Metallic Ink Watercolor pad.  If you haven't grabbed this one up yet you MUST!  It's amazing!!!


    I love that sentiment stamp, too.  It's such a great message.

    Bravery - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post

    happy Tuesday everyone!  I know it's not the happiest of days, being 9-11, but I wanted to do something patriotic and uplifting for my Brea Reese brand ambassador post today.  I knew inititally that I wanted to hand-draw a flag with the Fineliner Brights pens, but the star portion was an accident. 



    I had some scraps lying around painted with the Watercolor Inks, and I thought, those would make great stars.  I pulled out a Momenta star punch and made the stars. I did go over them with a second layer of watercolors just to deepen the tones and add some shading.

    Hi You - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

    Happy Friday!!  I'm kicking off my weekend with a Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, with two fun all-occasion cards. I like to make cards with generic sentiments and then I can grab the out of my stash when I need them and just write a personal, more fitting message inside.  I used the Metallic Ink Watercolor pad for the backgrounds on these cards, but the really fun part was making the flowers!  I had some canvas scraps lying around, so I die cut some flowers and painted them with the Fabric Ink Daubers!  I used Purple, Gold and Silver and even layered the Dream Catcher stencil on a few of them.  I like how it looks more like a spiral design than a dream catcher.  Wordfetti dies were used for the sentiment.


    Here's a close up of each card so you can really see the detailed flowers.


    Doesn't that spiral design look awesome?

    STAMPtember - Day Six - Fashionable Kindness

    I looooove girly cards and sparkly cards. If you combine the two, I'm giddy.  I love how this card turned out.  It has such a Breakfast at Tiffany's feel, but I purposely avoided the color blue.  I adored Audrey Hepburn and think this is a lovely quote.
