New Summer Inspiration

The newly released Crafter's Inspiration - Issue 7 Summer Edition is filled with supplies, ideas, inspiration and fun! My favorites are Sheena's poppy stamp set and die cut and the techniques CD-ROM - a CD and a DVD packed with tips, designs, ideas and inspiration.

For the flowers, I used a water brush to spread a small amount of water onto Crafter's Companion Watercolour Cardstock,  colored directly on the stamp image with Spectrum Aqua Markers, stamped them on the damp cardstock and spread color with a water brush. It created a soft fluffy look to the flowers. I used the matching die to cut them out. The flower center is from a die cut using Shimmering Cardstock.

The butterfly was made by coloring the poppy stamp with an Spectrum Aqua Marker, lightly spritzing with water and stamping onto dry cardstock. I used a black permanent pen to draw the body, antennae and wings, and then cut it out.   The embossing folder and sentiment are also from the summer edition.

Sharing a card I made using supplies from the Crafter's Inspiration - Issue 4 Spring Edition. 

Everything was all colored for me - all I had to do was assemble. :)  The  background design paper and sentiment are also from the kit.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Luxe Ink Pad - Wedding Dress, sprinkled with emboss powder and heat set. I used the embossing folder that also came with the kit to add some dimension to the design paper. I added a touch of bling to the lion's nose with Stickles . I love the sweet image!

The little giraffe was from my animal stash in my button draw. I popped him up with Double Sided Adhesive Foam Circles.
