Black Pen Magic | Pretty Pink Posh

One of my favorite things to do is ink blend, stamp, and then color up a background with a black marker. It makes for a pretty easy card and mindless coloring. The major up side is that you end up with a really pretty and colorful card.

Bold Background | Honey Bee Stamps

I’m not a huge fan of rubber stamps, mainly because they take up a lot of space and I just don’t have it BUT lately, the last couple Honey Bee Stamps releases have them and I ADORE them. This was such an easy birthday card to put together — a card that can be easily mass produced!

Underpainting | Honey Bee Stamps

Watercolors are one of those mediums that I really love in projects but I just haven’t had the time to really practice using them. Underpainting is one of those techniques that I love because it allows me to be more free with the paints.

Masking with Stencils | Pretty Pink Posh

I easily forget that you can use stencils in different ways and not in its entirety, which gives it a different look. That’s what I did here and I think it creates such a pretty card with a little bit of masking.

Circular Pattern | Trinity Stamps

Ok — I’ll admit that I haven’t used my Altenew Stamp Wheel enough and I really should. It is the best little stamper, especially when you want to create an easy circular pattern without much effort and even more so, when you have small images to use with it!

Alcohol Ink Die Cuts | Picket Fence Studios

I haven’t played with alcohol inks in quite a bit of time. Crafty supplies kinda cycle and I pulled these alcohol inks back out. I really wanted my favorite mix of colors — pink, blue and purple. Yupo paper was a bit hard to die cut out but remember to use a metal shim just to make sure it cuts. I also love how this little window works perfectly with the feathers!
