Skipping Stones Tip/technique Blog Hop


Happy Saturday!!!
I am back today with a tip/technique for Skipping Stones Design today.



For my tip today it's something small but I think it adds a fun texture to your card. I have been having lot of fun watercoloring and just trying out new things and one of those things is to add some fun splatters to you watercolored scene.
I do this by adding distress ink to a smooth surface it can be an acrylic block or a craft mat and if you do not have any of those items you can simply add your ink to some clear packaging.  After you have added your ink you than spritz with water a couple of times and take your paint brush dip it into you color and flick it onto you scene it adds alot of fun texture and gives you even more of a water colored look.
The stamp set I used for my card is called Uplifting another one of my favorites!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my tip for you today!!

Sweet Treats Blog Hop

 Happy Friday!!!
So excited for today!! We have a very special Sweet Treats Blog Hop going on over at Newton's Nook today.
There is going to be a ton of Valentines's Day treat ideas!!!

For my first project I wanted to try and use the Darling Hearts Die set and see if it would  cut through felt and it does and I was so excited how well it turned out. So I just glued my felt pieces with some gel medium onto my canvas treat bag and than just added a few enamel dots and I was done this only took a few minutes so quick and easy.

For my second project I have had this plastic mail box for awhile now I think I got it at a dollar spot somewhere. I just added a diecut oval with this sweet owl image from the stamp set sweetheart tails. Than added some felt hearts i had in my stash!!
