White Space | Pretty Pink Posh

White space is definitely underutilized on my cards — mainly because it’s hard for me to stop creating on a card when there’s space to fill. When I saw this fall corner, it was perfect to create a little corner on the top of the card.

Layers | Erin Lee Creative

I’ll admit that although I’m not a clean and simple cardmaker, I’m also not a layered, dimensional one either. But sometimes, you definitely need to pull a ton of layers to create an amazing card. This is definitely one of them and it also reminds you that you don’t always have to use tags just for presents — you can use them on cards too!

No Line Coloring | Ink on 3

Ever do no line coloring? It used to be so intimidating but I kept at it and now I love it. It gives your images a soft look. I also combined it with stamping with a bit of ink blending on kraft cardstock for this fun coffee card!

Create Your Own Design | Ink Blot Shop

When I saw these hearts, I kinda thought about how I used to draw hearts in a border with a single line. Right side up, upside down, right side up — repeat. I took a page out of my grade school doodles and created a background design out of these crafty hearts and colored them up in rainbow colors.

Salt on Watercolors | Honey Bee Stamps

I’m still pretty new to watercolors but play around with them has been interesting — trying to figure out how much water to use, how heavy handed I should be, how long I need to wait for it to dry… but I wanted to try adding salt to watercolors to see the aftereffect and I think it looks so cool, especially for a sky! You just add it on when it’s just still a bit wet and wait for it to dry. Waiting is the hardest part!

Outside the Box | Pretty Pink Posh

If you are a fan of Pretty Pink Posh, you know they have these wreaths that have different themes. Whenever I see one of these, there’s a creative spark and I’m so excited to do something a bit different each time. For this one, I created a scene card for it and I may have to do the same with the Christmas one as well.

Hot Foil & Die Cuts | Erin Lee Creative

Hot foils are such an interesting crafty technique because it’s so razzle dazzle and glimmery, especially when you do a reverse hot foil because you use the remaining hot foil pieces. I thought to tone down this reverse hot foil frame, I chose a few die cut pieces to pair it with. I thought it worked really well and I was so happy with the outcome.

Watercolor Galaxy | MFT Stamps

I’m starting to get a big more comfortable with watercolors and I attempted to create a galaxy with them! A little bit of trial and error but the best part is that galaxy backgrounds are look such a mess but when you add splatter, it pulls it all together! I also decided to use a mix of mediums so I used copic markers for the images!

Note: I created this card to enter into MFT’s Card Design Superstar challenge and didn’t realize that this set is no longer available at My Favorite Things Stamp but I found a couple places that carries it.
