Painting with Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Stains

Hi everyone! I'm here today with a project and a tutorial for Lindy Stamp Gang. I created this card using a large Hero Arts stamp and colored it up using some of the new stains from Lindy Stamp Gang. I just LOVE painting with my starburst stains. The burst of color and nice balance of shimmer is AMAZING! And did I mention how much FUN it is?!

Here are some pics...



The large rose is painted with Fuzzy Navel Peach and the mulberry leaves are painted with My Mojito Green. Both are a few of my all time favorites!

Thanks so much for stopping by today... have a SUPER amazing weekend and we'll see you back here soon for my next project!

hugs! ❤

MFT Teasers Day 6!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be here today with the MFT Design Team to feature projects using the new additions to MFT's Pure Innocence stamp line, coming September 6th!

Today the design team is featuring the new Pure Innocence Astronaut Girl, Little Witch, Feeling Froggy, Morning Glory and Spa Day!

My first card was created using the new Little Witch PI and Mischievous papers by My Minds Eye. I colored up PI girl with my Copic markers and paper pieced her hat and dress. "Hello, My Pretty" was stamped with StazOn ink onto the new File Tab Die-namics, which I cut out in vellum.  The HALLOWEEN banner was stamped with the Typewriter Alphabet stamp set onto the mini fishtail banner that comes with the new Mini Pennants Die-namics set. The banner is "tucked" under a Solid Bracket Border cut out in Black Licorice cardstock and anchored with Crystazzi crystals. The super gorgeous flower is the new Prima Donna Petals Die-namics, which I created using My Favorite felt and a Crystazzi crystal in the center.


Close up...



A peek inside, where I stamped the PI image again, and stamped a sentiment from the set onto the Say What Die-namics.

My second card is created using the new Feeling Froggy PI stamp set. Is she not the most adorable thing in her little overalls?? And what about her little frog friend? Super uber cuteness!!


I colored her up with my Copic markers and paper pieced her overalls to match the papers I used on the card, which is the new Breeze collection by My Minds Eye. The sentiment is stamped on the new File Tab Die-namics. The huge, gorgeous green rose is cut out using the Large Rolled Rose Die-namics and My Favorite Felt. The mulberry flowers/sprays are from my stash (I Am Roses.) The border at the base of my card was cut out using DP and the fun Flower Border Die-namics, that I was so thrilled about using after having not used it in so long! ❤ Here are more pics...



Here is a peek inside my card where I stamped the PI image and sentiment, and lined the center with layers of Simply Scallops Medium cut out in Hot Fudge cardstock and designer paper.
