Peek-a-Boo Mouse Circle

This is an adorable mouse & heart thank you card.

Sentiment:  Just a little thank you.

I made a peek-a-boo window for the mouse, colored it with Copics and used floral patterned paper for accent.

Here is a quick tip video of the process:

June Unity Blog Hop and New Release

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Today, the Unity Stamp Co. design team is having a blog hop with pretty inspiration along the way and prizes.

Sentiment:  Hello

This is a sweet new mini kit called Hello Little Birdie, by Tierra Jackson.  Look at that face, awe.

For this card, I added a frame of glue and glitter and then layered all of the panels.

I used distress markers and a brush to watercolor the sweet bird.

I made a video tutorial for this.

Memorial Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

This one is near and dear to my heart.

Sentiment:  She was full of hope.

This is a vintage mixed media style scrapbook layout page, dedicated to my lovely mama.

She really was full of hope.  I miss her dearly.

I made this for a Unity release.  When I saw this stunning sentiment and heart, I knew just how to use them.  I had to make a tribute to her with them.

Here is a quick tip video tutorial for this layout page.

Golden Shimmer Watercolor Card

Here is a thinking of you card using watercolor and golden shimmer.

Sentiment:  I think of you often.

For this card, I used a mix of ink spray and gold shimmer watercolor.

The technique I used is called ink smooshing with a little bit of paint brush color mixed in.

I was going for a mixed media look, in keeping with the sketchy style of the images.

The card has a beautiful gold shimmer which looks prettier in person.

Here is a quick tip video tutorial.
