Full of Thanks and Giving

Hi everyone! Uh oh. It's only day two, and I don't have anything to say. Ha! Let's get to it.

It's day 2 of Neat & Tangled's release week! Today we're sharing projects using the Be Full stamp set. Danielle is sharing pictures of the set on the Neat & Tangled blog.

Here's what I made:

Over a month ago, I watercolored a background using spray mists for another project. It ended up not working, but I kept it in my pile of "maybe I'll use it someday" elements. When I saw the Be Full stamp set, I knew it would work! Yeah!

I stamped the sentiment with Brilliance Black ink, which added some extra shimmer to the already-shimmery misted background:

 

I had to stitch down that panel, so I added some wonky stitching. The layered elements in the corner are from Simple Stories. I know poinsettias don't grow acorns, but it looked good.

There's a giveaway! Comment on the Neat & Tangled blog to win the Be Full stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

I Believe in You

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good week. We're getting down to the wire--8 more days of school. Woo hoo!

I'm blogging on the Scraptastic Club blog today with a card and a tutorial. On the post, I've shared 11 different ways to alter wood veneers. You can check it out HERE.

Here's a card I made based on the tutorial:

I used the Scraptastic Club's May Daylight Kit and Daylight Kit Add-On for this card. I punched circles from the papers, two different types of vellum, and used one of the pre-made circle die-cuts. On top, I layered the altered stars.

Here's a close-up:

For the green star, I inked it, painted on Multi Matte Medium, and sprinkled glitter on top. For the yellow star, I painted it and added Glossy Accents. I also added one of the Studio Calico stars, enamel dots, and Simple Stories sticker that came in the kit.

I stamped on the last star with one of the stamps in the Scraptastic Club's The Story I Heard set. Their stamps are super cute! For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the SSS You Can Do Anything set. 

Here's another close-up:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
