My clean and simple card. Is it possible?

Hello, my dear crafting friends! Irit is here again and this time with this most possible for me clean and simple card.
I used Sweet Stamps Daisies Frame stamp here, stamped with clear embossing ink and Creative Inspirations Paints  Deliquensce Fine White embossing powder. Then I  painted the frame with Sky Blue paint and daisies were painted with Winter  White paint.
The negative Joy chipboard was covered with the same blue paint and then heat embossed 3-4 times with Deliquensce Fine  Clear embossing powder for this glass look.
Then I just added some  Resplendence Angel Dust
   all around over the wet paint.

 And here product I used here:








See you in 2 weeks with another project!

Sweet Stamps bookmark

 Hello, my dear crafting friends! Irit is here again and again with Sweet Stamps on my project.
When I first got this butterfly Sweet Stamps stamp, I thought about a bookmark. This vertical stamp is just perfect for this project.


I used Robin's Nest Classified cardstock and some Dew Drops and made it over a real commercial bookstore bookmark (an ugly one too)- so this is a kind of recycled project after all.
I stamped this butterfly stamp with Memento black ink, colored some parts and left 2 big butterflies in black. Then I stamped it again, colored and hand cut to make a kind of spotlighting using 3d foam glue.  Then I added one big red rose from Sweet Stamps, stamped , painted and hand cut and even heat embossed for the shiny look with  Deliquensce Fine  Clear embossing powder.


I added some heat embossing around the whole piece with Red Glitter embossing powder.
And here are  the CIP used for this project:

Happiness and Hopes with Sweet Stamps

 Hello, my dear crafting friends! Irit is here again and this time I used those sweet Sweet stamps we got for the blog swap.
This is my new project- not really a card, more a kind of a home deco, made with Creative Inspirations Paints and embossing powders, Sweet Stamps Rose stamp and Tando Creative chipboards.


The back paper is MME,the chipboard window was covered with Tim Holtz Crackled paint and then I used Glitz and K@Co rub-ons and stamped the rose and the leaves 3 times. I painted them with all possible  pinks and greens and a bit of yellow and heat embossed with
 Deliquensce Fine  Clear Embossing powder for this bubble effect.


Some Prima blings were the perfect add- on for this project.
And here CIP products used here:








 See you in two weeks with another shiny project!

Sweet Stamps - Pretty In Pink Card


Hi Everyone,
I have had a fantastic week in painting up a wonderful array of gorgeous silk ribbons, using Creative Inspiration Paints!  I have tried to capture the glimmer of the paints in my photographs, and hopefully they show enough. I am so pleased with how the silk ribbon turned out and urge anyone who loves playing with colouring their own embellishments, to give it a try. I applied TuTu Pink paint to the ribbon.


The image on my card creation for Creative Inspiration Paints is from Sweet Stamps. This particular stamp is called 'Watercan Girl'.  It is a beautiful image and even though I am not a stamper and only 'learning' the art of colouring, I am pleased with how it turned out.



In the above photograph, I tried to capture the shimmer of the image after applying Creative Inspiration Paints.  The below photograph is a close up of all the gorgeous shimmer!

Creative Inspiration Paints Used:
TuTu Pink - Ribbon
Blush
Sage
Chocolate
Autumn Wheat
Winter Frost
Fuchsia

Other Products:
Cheery Lynn Design Dies
Martha Stewart Corner Punch
Bazzill Cardstock
Silk Ribbon
White Gel Pen

Tra-la-la spring is Here

This week I chose to use the stamp Children Skipping from our sponsor Sweet Stampsas my focal image. Our Creative Inspirations Paints challenge is Inspired by Spring. Skipping children and spring colors combine to create a picture of spring for me.
My background is CI paints on sticky back canvas. I sprayed the canvas with water and then swiped on various spring colors of CI paints:sky blue, mellow yellow, peach, light purple, tutu pink and spring green. I stamped and painted the image with CI paints (rose quartz, beige, denim, onyx, autumn wheat, antique copper, buttercup, turquoise, raw sienna, blush), cut it out, and layered it on a die cut a Cheery Lynn doily. The butterfly was cut from Shimmer Sheets and the body was painted with onyx. The sentiment is an outline sticker.

Spring Bouquet

Oh how I love spring flowers! I fell in love with this stamp, Millie's Teapot Arrangement, from Sweet Stamps the minute I saw it. This month we have teamed up with Sweet Stamps,, so I wanted to share a card using this wonderful stamp. To create my card, I started with a Kraft cardstock base. I sponged green olive CI paints over the base. It's barely visible on the scan above, but it's cool in real life. I then used the lace die cut from Heartfelt Creations/spellbinders to layer. I stamped the image on Cryogen cardsock and used the outside the Nestie technique to cut it out. Then I brought out my CI paints and had fun painting the image. I used lots of colors: sage, emerald, evergreen, orange, buttercup, canary, autumn wheat, caramel, lavender, blush, tutu pink, and rose quartz. I sponged around the edges with green olive. to finish off my card I used a row of green rhinestones along each side of the card. Shimmer and bling and spring flowers make a great match.
