Beth Duff Designs Fall Release

Hello! Today I am a part of the Beth Duff Designs Fall Release Blog Hop. There are many new sets available, and I will be featuring the Bless Our Nest stamp set.

I really love the sentiment, "Home is wherever we are together" that comes in this stamp set. It's just lovely. I knew I wanted to start there with my card design. I also thought the bird houses were sweet, and that it would be fun to have a colorful row of them. The images were all stamped with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, and colored with Zig Clean Color Markers.

I wanted to add a subtle background, so I used the Herringbone Metal Stencil from Stampendous (It's a favorite of mine) with some Antique Linen Distress Ink. I went heavy with the ink in some spots, and lighter in others. It gives the background a softer look that I love. I also added a few sequins from Doodles Paper Playground with some On Point Glue. It gave it just the little bit of shine that the card needed.

Below I have the entire hop list, and I hope you will give everyone a visit. Start at the Beth Duff Designs Blog to get all of the info you need on the hop. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
