Nutty Hugs and Kisses

Happy Wednesday! We've had too much cold and snow recently so today's card featuring Neat & Tangled's My Favorite Nut sends a brightly coloured hug to all those wishing for spring!



Starting with an A6 card, I blended on some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, focusing on building the colour up in the centre of the card. I intensified the colour with a little Abandoned Coral, adding some ink splatters and setting aside to dry.


I stamped out the cute little squirrels and a letter onto some watercolour cardstock with some Versafine Black Onyx ink. Using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers, I coloured them in with some browns and greys, sticking mostly to earthy tones. Once dry, I cut these out with the coordinating dies.


I needed something to ground my squirrels so I blended some more Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron onto a strip of white cardstock. I then white heat embossed the sentiment from the MFT Essential Sentiments set. I adhered this directly to the background, popping the squirrels and letter up with some foam tape. A few clear sequins finishes this off nicely!

It's a Nutty Birthday!

Happy Wednesday! I'm back today with a bit of a nutty card. I love this set from Neat & Tangled and it's perfect for water colouring.


I started out by stamping the largest stamp from the Neat & Tangled My Favorite Nut stamp set on some watercolour cardstock with some Versafine Black Onyx ink. I then used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to colour them in, blending in the colour with some additional water and a paintbrush. Once dry, I cut this out with the coordinating dies.


For the card base, I lightly blended some Salty Ocean distress ink and splattered some additional splots over the blended ink. I popped the die cut up with some foam tape and adhered it to the centre of the card base. I wanted a simple sentiment to finish it off so I white heat embossed a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' from the MFT Essential Sentiments set onto a thin strip of black cardstock. A few sequins finish of the card nicely!
