Everyday Expressions

Hi Crafty Friends! Have you seen the gorgeous new release from Colorado Craft Company? There are several Big and Bold fruity stamp and die sets along with pretty Italian tile background stamps.

I shared some simple ink blending and coloring techniques last week during a Facebook Live demo to create this pretty Lemon Zest slimline card. Did you join in the fun? You can find the demo HERE. I go live most Thursday evenings and share tips and tricks for some of my favorite company products.

I adore the coordinating dies for CCC big and bold stamps. Can you see how detailed that sentiment die cut is? I also used the pear blossoms and branch set from the Hugs and Pears set for added interest.

How pretty is this lemon stamp and die set? I used Catherine Pooler inks blended with finger daubers, Zig Art Twin Tip Markers, and Q Tips to color the images. For added interest, I used the Pear stamps to stamp and heat emboss WOW clear embossing on the black slimline card base. Finally, I added Studio Katia embellishments to look like dew drops on the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Love and artsy hugs!
