Lovely Blooms Shaker Card

Hello my Crafty friends and Happy Monday!

Today I have a floral shaker card to share with featuring a medley of Studio Katia goodness.

This card features the Lovely Blooms floral stamp that I stamped a few times onto a piece of Bristol Paper using Versafine Black Onyx Ink. I then heat set the ink with some black embossing powder. To color in my flowers, I used Jane Davenport's Mermaid Markers. I then added black ink splatters all over the finished piece.

Once the coloring was all dry I die cut the panel using the Dotted Pattern Loops Die. I then glued down the circle cut-outs onto the card front, making sure the images aligned properly. Next, I added my acetate sheet to the back of the panel and then using thin strips of foam tape I built up the wells for my shaker crystal bits. Then I placed a sprinkle full of Sparkling Crystal Mix onto each circle and then carefully lined up the top panel with the card base. For my sentiment, I die cut the friend from the Spring Bouquet Die a few times, stacked and glued them together and then added a few layers of black embossing powder to create the shiny finish. I glued the friend to a banner from the Dotted Pattern Set 2 Dies and added it to the front of the card. Finished the card by adding the Oh, Hello from the Best Friends Stamp Set. I also added a black crystal to where the dot of the "i" on the friend would be. And that is pretty much all for this card.

I hope this brightly colored shaker card inspired you today!

Until next time... Happy Crafting!

Studio Katia's Lovely Blooms - Framed No line Watercoloring with Watercolor Crayons

Hello Everyone!

I'm back today with a no line watercoloring project featuring the Lovely Blooms from the latest Studio Katia Release.

I loved how the coloring of these flowers turned out so I just had to frame it! Difficult to see from these photos, but the gentle shimmer is so pretty in real life. 

 I began by stamping the Lovely Blooms onto watercolor paper using fadeout ink. I then took the time to watercolor these blooms using some Shimmery Watercolor crayons that I had picked up from Michael's so long ago and hadn't used them, so it was about time. To turn the crayons into watercolors, I rubbed the crayon onto a watercolor dish, added a drop of water and mixed the pigment with the brush until I was happy with color and consistency of the watercolor.

I'm not going to lie, this watercoloring was a bit time consuming but I really did enjoy the process as I learn a little more each time and I find it very relaxing. Plus, I have been participating in Kathy Racoosins #thedailymarker30day challenge and this piece, of course, is one of my challenge pieces. I guess you only get better if you keep practicing and for me, I still trying to learn how to use all the different media I have 😉

Other than adding highlights with a white gelly roller pen and some glossy accents to a few of the flowers, that was it for this project. Sometimes less is more. Of course, this could easily still be turned into a card in the future.

Thank you all for joining me today, I hope this Framed No line Watercoloring of the Lovely Blooms with Watercolor Crayons was inspiring for you.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
