Are you ready for a super happy card?! There are bright colors, shimmer, and awesome hair, like a party! The Hair in the Airstamp set from Kindred Stamps was quite inspiring.
There is a panel in the back using a stencil from Hero Arts and Spiced Marmalade distress ink.
The next panel is ink blended with Twisted Citron distress ink, then Shimmer embossing paste was applied through the Optical Illusion stencil.
Copics and Sakura Gelly Roll and Glaze pens made these images super bright.
I had so much fun coloring the first image, I had to make a rainbow of these little party animals!

Got a quickie for you today. Kindred Stamps is releasing a companion digital stamp set to the Scranton PA set, and I got to play with it!
I did some ink blending withe Kindred Stamps Zebra stencil and Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, and Dusty Concord inks. Yes, there really is Candied Apple is there, I needed something to create a red-purple.
I also added some Clear Wink of Stella in the light areas.
I Copic colored this lady. I wish I had written down the colors I used.

Hello friends! Today I am using two sets from Kindred Stamps to make some vibrant and masculine birthday cards using watercolor as a main component. Watercolor and I are old friends 😁
This first card is made using the Day of the Deadstamp set with this adorable boy and his dog. I was going for a night scene with a marigold bridge.
The background here was all inked on one panel of watercolor paper in
Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, and Wild Honey Distress Inks. It was
then liberally spritzed with Pearlized water and dried with my heat
tool.
The floral embossing is a die from the Hero Arts April 2018 kit, and I used a silicone mat and the embossing sandwich.
Then I used a stitched edge die to cut the two colors apart. The yellow is popped up with my favorite dimension method, some coasters! They are thinner than most foam dimensionals, you can use whatever adhesive you have handy, it die cuts like a dream, and it is 100% recyclable! And cheap. OK, off that soapbox. 😊
The sentiment is gold heat embossed on white cardstock that is spritzed with Pearlized water also.
Copics were used to color the boy and the dog. I actually used the same colors for the boy's hair and the dog's fur!
Inside, I stamped a couple of the banners, then just a little water, watercolored the banners with the same inks as the cardfront. I used #110 white cardstock for the cardbase, so it could handle it.
I also used a Sakura Stardust Jelly Roll pen to add some sparkle to the banners.
For my second card, I am using the Electrifying! stamp set. I wanted to focus on the car this time.
I started the background with a panel of watercolor paper (140lb
Canson XL) cut to 4"x5¼". I sponged on Grey Granite ink and spritzed
with water, then dried with my heat tool.
After
treating the panel with my anti-static embossing buddy, I stamped the
cars in Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat embossed them.
Then
it was time to watercolor those cars! Yes, right over the top of the
color in the background. I used Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade, and
Blueberry Bushel inks squeezed into the ink pad lids and picked up with a
wet watercolor brush.
I used Black Soot Distress Ink to color the tires. It only takes a smidge of that ink, by the way!
The chrome is all painted with Pewter Perfect Pearls. I added a
smidge of the Perfect Pearls to a palette and added a double portion of
water to create a paint. Then I just used my watercolor brush to paint
it on.
I made a very short video showing the shimmer here:
