Springtime Bunnies from MISSink stamps

Hello and Happy weekend!

Today I'm Guest designing with the NEW stamp company Miss Ink Stamps. I found them over on Instagram just last month, through some crafty/enabling/influencing friends there.

I'm quite taken with ALL the critters from Miss Ink Stamps! If you are a regular reader/follower of mine, you know I don't usually play with anything other than flowers, however, these sweetly drawn Bunnies spoke to me:)) and these Mice make me giggle and finally, cute Goats and puny sentiments are just toot, Toot Sweet, and fun to pass up!

Here is my card for today using the Springtime Bunnies stamp set, Springtime Banners, and Halftone Lines Bold Center Stencil.

The first thing I played with on receiving my order was the Halftone Lines Bold Center Stencil.  I found that by inking color and then rotating the stencil one quarter turn then ink again, a cool gingham pattern emerges:))

It was a pleasure coloring the images from Springtime Bunnies stamp set and Springtime Banners with Ziggys , going for a No-Line coloring look.
After coloring the critters, I took a chance and used the Scan-n-Cut to cut them out...but my margin setting was off, so there is a nice mix of white/no white edges on the eggs and chicks.
Having a love hate relationship with my SnC..the blades are always dull do to my kids using it so often.. I was able to get that Banner trimmed out as I wanted and stacked two layers for dimension.  Hoping for a release of coordinating dies...hint, hint.

How FUN is that sentiment?!? Even my DH took notice! 
I also made a quick IGTV video of how to achieve the Gingham Background. You can watch it by clicking  >HERE<.


I encourage you to check out all the Goodies at Miss Ink Stamps.  The stamps are high quality and I LOVE the unique stencils! Curbing my enthusiasm was very difficult when placing my first order.
And now the Free Shipping price point is $35.  There are several Coffee related sets and Florals which are sure to delight:) I'll be back next week with another MissInk card for you.

Hello Everyone! And welcome to my stop on the Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop at Altenew. If you are hopping along from the beginning of the bloghop, you should be arriving from the blog of, Nancy McClelland . The full bloghop list is at the end of this post. You won't want to miss a single stop that is filled with lovely Spring Card inspiration!


The goal of the Celebrating Parents Card Drive is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to let them know they’re not forgotten. We encourage you to check out the Celebrating Parents Card Drive and join this great cause by sending in cards.
Altenewl will be Giving Back 20% of the profits earned from these select stamp sets:
Best Dad, Painted Rose, Extra Special, Lotus, Cross Stitch Flower, and Best Mom by 6/16/2019. Proceeds will be donated to the Food Bank of Central New York to support seniors in need.

I have two cards to inspire you to get your stamp sets out and create some cards of your own for this Card Drive!

My first card is simple stamping with the Cross Stitch Flower stamp set.
After inking the Cross Stitch Flower onto an A2 sized white card stock with Crisp inks: Rose Quartz, Puffy Heart, Purple Wine, Buttercream Sunkissed,Bamboo, and Olive 
  • I ran the panel through my die-cutting machine with the Cross Stitch Canvas Die for some added interest 
  • Then I fussy cut around the top of the stamped images 
  • Layered it over a panel that was softly brushed with Rose Quartz and Puffy Heart over the Square Weave Pattern Stencil
  • Popped up the top edge with foam tape
  • Embellished with Enamel Dots


 *******
My next card has a detailed process video you can watch below or on my Youtube channel in HD.

This card features the Charmed Stamp Set colored with the new Watercolor Brush Markers .- Tropical Fiesta Set.


 The sentiment is found in the Best Dad Stamp Set

I really enjoyed using the watercolor Brush Markers to add color then moved the color around with a clean water brush.

The Ton's Spring 2019 Release Blog Hop



The Ton's is celebrating it's Spring 2019 Release with 7 new designs! There are additional promotions with free gifts. Head over to The Ton's blog for more details. 

Giveaways: Three winners will receive a stamp set of choice from our new Spring 2019 release (excluding Fantastic Feathers). To qualify, please leave a comment on each blog or youtube video. Comment period will close on 4/10 at 6pm EST. Winners will be announced on the The Ton's blog after.

I'm excited to share my card featuring the new Wildflower Bouquet Builder and Beautiful Branches stamp sets. With just a hint of masking I built up a pretty wildflower bouquet.
Going for a no-line colored look, I stamped the images with a very light yellow water based ink. Then I colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.
I do not use water to mix the colors, but rather a lighter shade of marker to blend/saturate and move the colors around on the cardstock. Which in this case, do to an error, was 110# regular cardstock, not the usual Bristol Smooth 100#.
 I like the challenge of leaving blooms white and and adding in shadows to make them pop!
How SWEET are those tiny bumble bees? There are two of them in the Wildflower Bouquet Builder stamp set and perfect to add as simple embellishment to any floral arrangement.

I hope you liked my card today. Thank you Effie for inviting me to participate in your Spring 2019 Release celebration!
