Hello everyone… so it is officially Spring season. I am so looking forward to more warmer days and seeing colorful flowers 🙂
Today I am sharing a project over A Jillian Vance Design blog with a coffee stamp set. I hope you all will come over and visit me there.
Thank You so much for stopping by!
Hello everyone… I am back again… Today I have 2 blog posts for you to check out. The first one is Our Daily Bread Designs Anniversary Blog Hop, and second post is about a mixed media birthday card.
I was inspired by the STAMPlorations March sketch and theme when I created this card using Smile stamp set, Kathryn’s Birthday stamp set, Mixed Media Grunge stamp set, Zen Hearts Stensil.
The background I created with Ken Oliver – Color Bursts Caribbean powder and mixture of Perfect Pearl powder and water spray. And I used the ghosting technique with the stencil on it, too. Then I stamped the bubble wrap and dots pattern on the watercolored panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
Then I stamped the leaves branches on the other color burst background paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then fussy cut them out. I added some sparkle glitter on them using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen. I added them on the card with some do adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut out the pennant tail. I did the same thing with the black cardstock and slightly overlap them to give a shadow under the white one.
I finished the card with some of the flower wood veneers.
Need more inspirations for this challenge? Visit STAMPlorations blog to see the Design Team projects using the March Theme & Sketch. And GO HERE to link up your projects by the end of the month.

Welcome to My Redeemer Blog Hop and Contest event with Joy Clair! It is a special event showcasing the new Color By Faith Collection – My Redeemer.
The Joy Clair Design Team share their projects using the My Redeemer stamp set. This blog hop starts at Joy Clair blog , where you also will find the full list of blog hop participant, just in case you got lost. You should arrive from Lindsay’s blog. This blog hop is not only just regular blog hop, it is also a contest for you to have a chance to win a $25 Gift Card from Joy Clair Store.
For My Redeemer Contest, PLEASE READ all through the end to find THE KEY WORD from my post.
I created a mixed media wood sign using Color By Faith Collection – My Redeemer. I got a Small Rectangle Plaid Wood blank plaque at store. Then I covered it with scrap patterned papers using gel medium, sort of creating collage of papers on it. Once the gel medium dried, I added some white gesso on it.
I set it aside to dry white I was working on the cross. I stamped the cross with the Memento Lux ink on a white cardstock then added some brown gelato with my finger. Then I stamped cross again on a monoprint scrap paper that I have in my stash and fussy cut out the heart. I added the heart in the middle on the cross with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.
Next is adding colors on the background. My wood plaque was not quite dry yet so I used my craft heater to speed up the drying process.
Using blue green and brown gelatos, I added the colors on in. Gelatos blend smoothly on a primed surface. I used my finger and damp baby wipes to blend the colors. I added more pigment on around for darker shading.
Once I was happy with the background, I heat set it again with my craft heater. I added some gel medium on top of the background to seal the pigment, then dried it again with craft heater.
And next step I stamped the sentiments on it with the Memento Lux ink pad. The surface will be a bit slippery for stamping, so once you add your inked stamp on the surface, do no wiggle it too much, just firmly press down for couple seconds to make sure the ink transfer well on the primed background.
Here are the close ups of the stamping on it:
You can let the ink air dry, or you can use craft heater to dry it. I just let it sit on the frame stand and let it air dry. So that’s my mixed media wood sign 🙂 I hope you all be inspired and create your own Easter wood sign!
THE CONTEST!

Challenge #274 – #275
Hello everyone… Even the Winter is back, today I would love to share with you more Spring themed cards 🙂
We are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs March Release. Here are two cards I created using the new God’s Blessings Coloring Pages, Daffodils stamp set, Daffodil die, and Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies. For more information and inspiration using the March Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.
I colored one of the God’s Blessings Coloring Pages using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and Tombow Dual Pen. Then I die cut the colored page with one of the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and ODBD Rectangles Dies. I stacked the die cuts with 3D foam tape for extra dimension to the layers. I added the black frame that I cut using 2 sizes of the ODBD Rectangles Dies.
On my second card, I stamped the Daffodils with black archival ink and colored them with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers. Then I cut out with the matching Daffodil die. I stamped the sentiment that comes from the same stamp set on a white cardstock and cut it out using the ODBD Pierced Circles Dies.
For the background I used some papers from the Plum Pizzazz Paper Pad. I die cut them with the Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies and ODBD Rectangles Dies.
