Mirror Stamping


Here I tried the "mirror stamping" for the first time. I had to practice a few times before I got a good stamped image.
I used the  Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Sea" and "Scripty Sayings" stamp set. And the "Large Stitched Circle Stackables" die.


I stamped the turtle with "memento" (tuxedo black) on the back side of an other acrylic stamp. Then stamped the image on a white cardstock. The places where it did not transfer the ink very well I could fix it with a "memento" marker.
I colored the turtles with 'Prismacolor" and "Wink of Stella" for the glittery look.
For my watercolor background I used "Distresss Ink "tumbled glass" and "cracked pistachio".

Congrats!


For this card I did a background with embossing paste and iridescent embossing powder using the SSS stencil "Falling Snow".
I die cut a watercolor paper with the SSS "Lunch Box Notes" dies and stamped the princess image from ME "Bootatastic"with archival jet black ink.
And I use watercolor for the princess (distress inks).


I also use the SSS "Cake & Congrats" dies and the SSS "Married" stampset (little flowers).

Friendship


For this card I was inspired by a youtube video of Laura Bassen. It's a "smooshing" technique.
I really wanted to try it out and I love it! I used distress ink "squeezed lemonade", "cracked pistachio" and "picked raspberry".


I used Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Critters in the Jungle, Plus One, Critters in the Burbs and Science of Love. I stamped the umbrella, mask it and then stamped the elephant and fussy cut them.
And I also use watercolor for the elephant, snail and the umbrella.

I Love this stamp set "Flowers On My Mind" from Simon Says Stamp. Here I used pigment ink, then heat embossed it with "Iridescent Sparkle" Judi-Kins embossing powder.
I also used "Louie's 123s" dies from Lawn Fawn.
