Hearts Card Colour Theme

For this month's colour theme, I made a card for my dad for Father's Day:

I painted 3 hearts from the {Hearts Grab Bag} with DecoArt Acrylic Paint and used the {Mish Mesh Stamp Set} to add detail using embossing powder.

For the card base I used the circles from {Tree and Leaves 3 Part Stencil} to go around the edge of the patterned paper.

I finished off with a stamped greeting.

May - Anything Goes

I'm kicking off this month's anything goes with a trio of quick and easy cards for if you're in a rush.

I've used the {Tangled Yarn Stencil} over a masked off section of the card blank. For the first, I went for a low stripe and the the second a high one. The large butterfly is from the {Butterfly Grab Bag}. The rest of the butterflies come from the {Mini Butterflies}.

For the last card I used one of the stamps from the {Mish Mesh} set.

For all of the butterflies, I've used acrylic paint that has been watered down until it's the consistency of cream. Purple, turquoise and white paint has all been put into one pot, but not stirred and then poured on the first big butterfly. 

The other butterflies have been dipped into the paint that has run off from the sides creating swirls.

The single butterflies had a coat of {Decoart Clear Liquid Glass} and white paint pen added when dry.

The trio of butterflies just had the white paint pen added. You can see the detail of the dipped paint effect here:

Father's Day Card

For this week's Anything Goes, I've been playing with some of the #Stampendous goodies that are now being stocked and made a Father's Day card:

I stamped one of the stamps from the -{Mish Mesh}- set onto the card blank then painted 2 hearts from the -{Hearts Grab Bag}- with acrylic paint.

I sprinkled the large heart with the Aged Copper Embossing Enamel from the -{Bronze Frantage Kit}- while the paint was still wet. I then used the heat gun to bubble up the paint and embossing powder.

I used another stamp from the Mish Mesh set with embossing ink and Aged Teal Embossing Enamel from the -{Teal Frantage Kit}- and heated it with the heat gun. The Frontage Kits give gorgeous effects with very little effort!

I finished off with the greeting.
