Hello everyone… March is here already. I am so looking forward to see more colorful Spring flowers everywhere 🙂 I hope you all are as excited as I am!
Today, I am joining STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge as their Guest Designer. This March Challenge theme is all about Stamp & Spring.
And here is the March sketch:
My card today is inspired by the March Theme and a bit of mixed media on it: watercolor pigment powder, stamping, colored pencils, archival ink, glitter and pearl gems.
First, I created the background with Color Burst powder and water. I added the pigment powder on my craft mat and spray with some water, then I smooshed the watercolor paper in it. I dried one layer at the time to create the depth of the the colors on top of each other. It is watercolor pigment powder so it always reacts with water. I also sprinkle some water on it and dabbed it of with paper towel for the extra dots texture on it. Then I run the panel through my die cutting machine with the the largest die from Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die – CUTplorations.
This is my first time to try the no-line watercoloring 🙂 and I LOVE IT!!! I stamped the Lily flower from the Smile Stamp – Dee’s Artsy Impressions with Antique Linen Distress Ink and I colored them with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. I blended the color with the Prismacolor Colorless Blender Pencil.
And then I added some glitter on the colored flowers with Spectrum Nior Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen to give them some shine… Oh I love to put it under the light and enjoy the glittery and shiny flowers 😀
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with archival ink pad on a white cardstock stripe and cut the banner tail with non-stick micro-tip scissors.
Last step is to put them together on the card. First I added the watercolored and die cut panel on the card base with lots of glue 😀 Then I added the flower with some liquid glue. And then I added the sentiment banner on the card with 3D foam tape. And I finished my card with some pearl gems on it.
That’s my card today. I hope you all like it and be inspired to create Spring themed projects this season 🙂 THANKS A BUNCH for visiting me today and you all have a fabulous day weekend!

Spring has sprung early here in Southern Ohio. We have been having warmer days and Spring rain that bring the flowers to grow in March! I love Spring for sure 🙂
Today I am sharing a card that with some flowers and Spring colors:
I created my card using the stamp set from Joy Clair, Hugs and Smiles. First, I created the background with some Color Burst powder and spray of water. I smooshed the watercolor paper on the watercolor paint and then added layer once the first one dried.
Then using Mini MISTI, I stamped the flowers with Versamark ink pad to create the border. Then I heat embossed them with Super Fine White embossing powder. I added some glitter on them using Wink Of Stella clear glitter brush pen.
I tore the bottom edge and finished my card with some natural twine from MayArts ribbon and some sparkle clear gems.
My card today is inspired by this beautiful colors on this picture from Joy Clair March Challenge – Spring Has Sprung:

March is here and we are so ready for Spring! How about you? We already have some daffodils coming out of the ground and some Spring flowers on the backyard. Cannot wait to see more Spring colors 🙂
Today, I am joining ODBD Design Team for the March New Release Blog Hop! This blog hop starts at ODBD Blog where you can see the full reveal and bundles. And…. there is a giveaway… so please read all the way to find out the details.
My first card is I created with the new God’s Blessings Coloring Pages. There are 40 pages in this package: 10 designs, 4 pages of each design. The size of these coloring pages is perfect for handmade card or even to put on frame.
I colored one of the pages with Tombow dual brush markers. And I added some glitter on them with glitter brush. For the background, I used 2 patterned papers from the Chalkboard Collection Paper Pad.
My second card I created with the new Daffodils stamp set, Daffodil Die, and Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies. I stamped the daffodil flower with archival ink and colored it with ShinHan markers, then I die cut it with the matching die.
To create the frame, I used the Pierced Rectangles Dies and Rectangles Dies. Then for the sentiment, I die cut one of the Pennant Flags Dies and stamped the sentiment with archival ink. Papers I used are from the Plum Pizzazz Paper Pad.
And for my third card, I created it with the new Tulips Stamp Set, Tulip Die, Side Step Card Die, and Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies.
I colored 2 set of tulips with ShinHan markers after stamping them with archival ink. Then I die cut one of the tulips with the matching die, the second one I hand-cut it to create the 3D look on the tulips and leaves.
I decorated the step card with the Fence Die, Grass Hill Side Die and Grass Lawn Die. I added some of the grasses on the card with liquid adhesive. And I added the fence die cuts with 3D foam tape for extra dimension on the card.
For the sentiment, I die cut one of the Pierced Rectangles Dies and stamped the sentiment from the Tulips stamp set with archival ink and added it on the Circle Scalloped Rectangle background with 3D foam tape.

30 Day Coloring Challenge – March 2017
Hello everyone… We are at the end of February already! Can you believe that? Time flies so fast and Spring is right around the corner. Let’s enjoy every moment we have and share kindness at any time we can.
Today, I am sharing a card that I made for a Card Chain Challenge swap friend that I sent out this month. I was inspired by the sketch that I flipped around, and also inspired by the theme of February, Hearts.
I created my card with the Let Love Grow stamp set, Layering Hearts Dies, Beautiful Boho Collection Papers, and Boho Bolds Paper Pad from Our Daily Bread Designs. I die cut the hearts in 2 sizes and layer them with 3D foam tape for extra dimension 🙂
Card Chain Challenge is a monthly card swap and a fun challenge that we can make a card for a friend, one way to share kindness, too. The March Card Chain Challenge sign up is still open until March 6th. You can go here to find out more about this challenge. I hope you all can check it out and be interested to play along.
Thanks for visiting me and hope you all will have a fabulous day!
