Floral Count Me In in Watercolor - Joy Clair Designs

Floral Count Me in Stamp in Watercolor.


Who loves to use watercolor with their project? Do you feel like it is too much water or less water to put in?


Check out this new project with the help of the beautiful Floral Count Me in Stamp in Watercolor.


Hello, Joy Clair fans! This is Marj from MarjBanzalesDesigns here with you today with another project to inspire you. This month we have a mood board and watercolor theme and I decided to combine both of them just for fun! Watercoloring is messy and fun and such a creative way to let loose for a bit.



In today's project, I had the pleasure to play with Count Me In Stamp. This stamp set consists of 2 beautiful floral arrangements that can be used separately or combined. You have to get this set!



Here are the details of the card:


I used Recollections 110lb White cardstock and cut it into an A2-sized card base. Next, for my card panel, I cut another piece of paper that measures 4 x 5 inches. Then, I printed the floral image from the Count Me In Digital Stamp set. After that, I colored it with some metallic watercolor and fussy cut the flowers, and adhere to the card with some adhesive foam sheets.




For my sentiment, I used the "You Are An Inspiration" from the Truly Inspire Digital Stamp Set. Then, I printed it onto Sweet Tooth White cardstock and trimmed it down to the right size. Also, I added 2 strips of adhesive foam sheets and adhered them to the center of the card. To finish off the card, I added a strip of orange/pink glittery strip to the side of the card for some bling.



I hope you enjoyed this card design.

Get Well Soon - Mirtillamente Craft Shop

Updated: Mar 26, 2022



Hello there friends!


How are you? Hope you are feeling better and if not this card is definitely for you. I know a lot are having some rough times so this is also for you.


For my project, I used the Get Well Soon Digital Stamp. This stamp set is so easy to use and easy to make.



First, I printed it onto Sweet Tooth White Cardstock and set it aside. Then I printed another one on a piece of removable sticker paper. This removable paper is light and will not damage your project. I set it with my heat gun to dry faster and then fussy cut it. Next, I stick it on top of the image and then created a background using some Distress Oxides. Once done, I removed the sticker and colored the image using my Arteza Ever Blend Ultra Art Markers.



To add some details and some pop on the card, I added some Gold Rhinestones. To finish it off, I sprayed it with some water combined with Kaleidoscope Powder from Maker Forte. Then, added it onto an A2 notecard.


I hope you like it. If you want to create this card, you can check this Digital Stamp and others to Mirtillamente Craft Shop.


Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time!


Stay crafty friends,

Marj

Just Because...I Miss You, I Love You - Maker Forte


Just because...I Miss You, I Love You. Just because...Is it hard to say that or you don't feel like saying it? Have you told someone this lately?


Today's project features the Feeling Prickly Cactus Stencil.


Normally, you will use a stencil to make a background, scene, or even spotlight. Today, I use a different kind of approach that I have not seen before. However, I am not saying I'm the one who created it as well. There are different ways to use stencils and I will tell you how I used them today. Although I still use the same application of colors. I used some Distress Oxides Ink Pads to give some color to the image after using the stencil.





Here are the Distress Oxides Ink Pads I used for my project:

First, I started by getting a piece of white cardstock and then started with Fossilized Amber, followed by Cracked Pistachio. For the Pot, I used 2 colors, I applied the Rusty Hinge first then Brush Corduroy. Of course, I know you are all aware of how to do that so I don't have to give you that details, lol! I made sure to just use a very light hand when applying the colors to avoid harsh lines as I am blending 2 colors.





Once done, I fussy cut them and left a slight white border all around them. Then, added a double-sided tape at the back to have some dimension when I placed them in my card panel. I cut a piece of cardstock that measures 3.25 x 8.25 inches. For some color on the background, I used the same brush and then started applying it all over the panel. This creates such a nice blend.


For some added touch, I decided to use the Splatter Rubber Stamp Style 1 by the Hedgehog Hollow and stamped it with Color Hive Tartan Teal which gives more dimension to the card. I then adhered in position all the images. Next, I cut another piece of cardstock just slightly bigger than my panel and added it to the Perfect Fold, Scored Slimline Card Base with strong glue.






I glued it to the card base then added my sentiment that comes from A Sentiment for Every Occasion. To finish it off, I added a few embellishments here and there.


I hope you like what I made today and learn a new way to use your stencils. I hope you were inspired by my project and I'll see you again next time.
