Creating with simple layers helps to add softness and texture to card making.  I used soft shades of blue for color.

Wishing happiness houses card ~ MFT Sketch Challenge 574

 Hello.  Gaylynn here.  Today's card was inspired by the My Favorite Things sketch challenge 574.

Sentiment:

Wishing you every happiness.

This is a nice card for new neighbors, a house warming, new home, moving, going away and more.  I used a mix of dies and a stamp for my interpretation of the sketch.  A neighborhood scene was what I was going for.  Little trees were made from patterned paper and the houses were paired over a grassy area.  The sky was stenciled with clouds.  

Stay in touch mailbox card with Copic markers.

Today, I am sharing a sweet mailbox themed card featuring a pretty mailbox with flowers along with flag accents.

Sentiment:  Stay in touch.

For this card, I used a mix of patterned papers from one paper pad.  I die-cut the bigger flags and the background map layer.  And for the tiny flags, I easily hand cut them and used them for added card accent.  This card is great for many occasions like miss you, thinking of you, good luck, going away, moving and more.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Vintage VW Bug Card with Ink Blending & Copics

Here is a vintage style car card for encouragement, moving, good luck, graduation & more.

Sentiment:  Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you will go.

For this card, I used a couple of techniques.  For the background, I stamped leaves in three different colors for ink blending results.  And for the car layer, I used Copic markers for color.  Then, I covered the VW with a layer of gloss.  It shines much more than the photo shows.

My quick video tutorial shows the process.

A watercolor nautical card for Unity's SMAK Saturday.

Today, this nautical watercolor card is up on the Unity blog for the SMAK Saturday post.

Sentiment:  Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction.

It delights me to see tropical stamps, especially when they can be used in different mediums and for different occasions, not to mention for both guys and gals.  This is a mixed media style used, in this case, for card making.  I layered the net and the ship wheel stamping onto watercolor paper and then added watercolor.  

Here is a video tutorial on the ink smooshing watercolor process for this card.
