Itsy Bitsy Thincuts - Watering Can

Hello folks!

Itsy Bitsy has recently launched 15 new designs to add to their Thin Cut Dies collection. Each one of these is beautiful & I was sent this adorable Watering Can Set. 

I love plants & am blessed to have my studio adjacent to my terrace garden.

As soon as I received this die I knew I wanted to make plant markers.

Out comes my DREAM CUT & within minutes I have them ready, using the watering can die.

Isn't it cute! 

Next I have a couple of cards. For the first one I created a garden scene with the die cuts & rub ons. The bricked wall is a pattern paper from the "Texture Brew" pack. Colored the flowers black & leaves green with Alcohol Splash and the can with distress ink.

The next card is in the classic never fail black & white combination - 

I have layered a panel of corrugated white card stock over a white card base. The chevron pattern of the watering can is the only pop of color in this elegant card. The flowers too are die cut from the same corrugated paper. 

Here is a closer look at the texture of these flowers - 

The last one is my favorite!

Here I created a distress ink background & some splatters with water & Alcohol splash. Inlaid the watering can diecut in the background & used some gorgeous Little Birdies handmade flowers. 

You can grab these affordable dies from the nearest Itsy Bitsy store or place an online order here.

Cards - Gold Alcohol Splash

Hello friends!

So glad you visited me today, as I share some cards!

The background for all these was created in a jiffy using Itsy Bitsy Gold alcohol splash (hop here to know more about these).

For this card a few puffs of pink punch, wild rose & purple haze was all that was needed to created a gorgeous background with the most gorgeous gold shimmer! Used bird dies & made it into a shaker card!

In this next card the dream catcher is heat embossed over the shimmery background!

The shimmer is a treat to the eyes!

The last one is my favorite of the lot & this one is gorgeous in real! Here's how I made this card - * *Create the background with pink punch & wild rose 

*Next stamp the image (          ) with versamark ink & clear emboss with clear superfine powder

*Rub the black soot distress inkpad directly over the panel now. The heat embossed flowers resisit the distress ink & to pop the the gorgeous pink flowers & gold shimmer wipe gently over the image with baby wipe.

Undeniable Chemistry

Hello!

A quick card share using the adorable MFT - Undeniable Chemistry stamp set.

I starting by creating a blended background with distress inks - fired brick & abandon coral & stamped the benzene ring image. I thought adding hearts to the rings & background made sense to the  heat embossed sentiment "Our Chemistry is undeniable".

Added a vellum panel & diecuts to complete the card. The shimmer on the glassware & hearts is the Wink of Stella effect!
