Truck birthday card

We celebrated my sons birthday last week and I made him this super cool card ( he informed me the truck is a Tri5 Chevy 😂 )
The gears were a perfect pairing with the vehicle and the wide burlap ribbon gave a rustic feel to it.
I colored the white foam letters with the TriBlend alcohol markers then sealed them with liquid glass for a shiny finish.
I used the Milan watercolor pencils to shade the truck and I’m thrilled with the finished result. So was Leo 😊
Hope you like it x

Watercolor background scrapbook layout

Fabulous Friday fun with this layout from a few years ago.
I took neutral patterned paper and painted it with a diluted wash of varying shades of watercolor paint. I then painted white cardstock in deeper hues of the same shades of color and when dry, hand cut the flowers. The colors in the photo of my daughter were the inspiration for the colors of the background. Hope you love it x

Shabby chic candlestick

Who says scrapbooking supplies are just for paper ...... i used our long time retired pearl paint along with delta white paint and a a good squeeze of shimmer brush and mixed it all together and painted it into this dark wood candle I had. I attached the sparkles and the burlap ribbon with liquid glass to make sure it will stay on and added the fake ivy and a candle - when the stores are open again I will buy a cream colored battery candle as this pretty shabby chic candlestick is going into my cute vintage camper.

Best friends card

I love this fun fold shaker card which I created using the goegeius ‘Love these people’ stamp set, the co-ordinating ‘These all my people’  paper and card stock packs and the shaker windows. I stamped the leaves on the green apple cardstock with its matching ink and added pink shimmer trim for some additional sparkle. The shaker card window die cut has 2 Confetti dies in the set for the pink cardstock hearts and green cardstock stars and I love the itty bitty silver star confetti. I Stamped the flowers using charcoal ink then colored them with the watercolor pencils and blended them with the clear shimmer brush. Hope you like it as much as I do xxx #legaciesoflove #ctmh #shakercards #bestfriends #lovethesepeople #silverstarconfetti #flowers #funfoldcards #girlboss #createalifeyoulove #joinmyteam #acrylicstamps

Beach Inspired card

Dreaming of the sea and the beach with this fun card which I made using left over pieces from our Seas the day paper suite. I love the sailboat and lighthouse stickers. I knotted a small piece of mink twine for texture and popped up some of the elements with 3D foam tape. A clear shimmer brush and a gold shimmer brush plus liquid glass added the sparkle and shine. Hope you love it as much as I do
