You Are MERMAZING

Hello friends, today I have a card to share with you... 

I had colored all these images for MFT superstar contest but later decided not to use them so I had these ready to be made into a card.

These images are from MFT BB Mermazing stamp set, images are all stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using copics and then cut out with my scissor. The background is created on a scallop panel (die-cut out of LF dies) and distress oxide inks, the sand at the bottom is hand-cut out of kraft cardstock then added some dots with my copics and white paint. I stamped the corals using Alabaster ink (from Brutus Monroe) and then colored it with white paint. The sentiment is stamped using VersaMark pigment ink and then heat embossed using Alabaster embossing powder (from Brutus Monroe).

For the background I stamped the solid fish images in the same set using different colors of oxide inks to create a rainbow fish pattern and then splattered some blue ink on it.

All the images are adhered using foam squares and the scallop panel itself is adhered using foam squares. I also added some sequins for embellishment.

I have followed the current MFT sketch MFTWSC403..

Thats all from me today!! Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

There's Always room For You...

Hello friends, I have a card to share today!!! YAYYYY!!!

I played with this cutie from MFT stamps called "Rain or Shine".

I colored one of the cute girl and the little duckies using Copics and then cut everything out with scissor. The ink-blended panel is die-cut out of Top-Dog dies (I think the company is closed :( ) and used distress oxides for ink-blending. I stamped the cloud using BM Honeysuckle surface ink and then adhered the panel directly to the card base and the images are all adhered using foam squares. The sentiment is white heat embossed on black cardstock and adhered using foam squares. I followed MFT Sketch 389.

Here is a close up of my card, I added some white dots on her boots and umbrella using white gel pen.

That's all from me today, hope you liked my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Best Wishes and Bubble Kisses

Hello friends, I have a cute card to share with you all!!!

This little cutie is from MFT "Bubble Over Joy" stamp set, which is stamped using memento tuxedo black ink and colored with my copics over crafters companion ultra smooth white cardstock and then cut out with scissors. Then I simply followed MFT Sketch 387. The ink blending is done on a rectangle white panel; I used "Picked Raspberry" distress oxide, "Zest" and "JacK-O-Lantern" Brutus Monroe Surface inks, then I stamped the bubbles using Alabaster pigment ink. The ink blended panel is adhered directly to an A2 card base, I also stamped few bubbles using "Sidewalk" surface ink and then adhered the bunnies using foam squares. I also added few sequins to my card.
Here is a close up:

And another close up, I added little white gel pen details to all the bunnies dress.

That is all from me today, hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by!!

First I die-cut out a heart from a white cardstock panel and stamped all the cute monsters around the heart using Raven detail ink and then stamped the monsters all over the panel using Sidewalk surface ink. The images are all colored using Prisma color pencils. I used BM shaker pouch to create the shaker part.

The whole monster panel is adhered using foam squares and before that I adhered my shaker pouch and also stamped my sentiment.

Brutus Monroe Embossing Fun Hop

Hello everyone, our Brutus Monroe team is having a Embossing fun Hop.
Brutus Monroe has an amazing array of EMBOSSING POWDERS ! These embossing powders are not only ultra fine so that you get great results even with your detailed stamps, but they also contain no wax fillers! What does that mean? Well, since there is no wax added, the color and shine (especially on the metallics) is much brighter!

I decided to create a simple but fun and different to me card for the hop. I wanted to play with the new SKY embossing powder, I took a panel of Raven cardstock rubbed all the border over Embossing ink pad then poured SKY embossing powder over it and heat embossed it with the help of my embossing gun. The image is from Topsy Cake which is stamped on Alabaster white cardstock with Raven detail ink and colored in using Prisma color pencils.

Here are some close ups:

I also added little glitter to the ribbon and the cherry on top, some sequins and also little Nuvo clear glaze to the chocolate icing.

Hope you liked my card. Thanks for stopping by!!

Brutus Monroe - Thermoweb Blog Hop

Hello friends, I am super excited for todays blog post.. We at Brutus Monroe is collaborating with Therm O Web and we will have lots of cards and ideas be shared on our Brutus Monroe inspiration blog, So don't forget to check it out daily.
Today our whole team is doing a fun blog hop with lots of amazing inspirations so join us because there is a giveaway as well which you do not want to miss...


I have created two cards for todays hop, for the first one I used the new foil color called shattered glass on their new Designer Toner Sheets called Distressed Lines along with the super cute Brutus Monroe Big Top stamp set.

First I cut the toner sheet down with my paper trimmer and cut a piece of the Shattered Glass foil slightly larger than my toner sheet. I place the foil shiny side up, sandwiched them between my parchment paper sheet and ran a hot iron over it, yes it works it is the frugal way but I will say get a laminator for perfectly amazing result. The toner sheets is then adhered directly to a white card base using Therm O Web Sticky Tape Runner . The images are all stamped using Raven ink and colored using Copics Then die-cut it out using Stitched Oval die, the sentiment is stamped using Wagon ink. All the oval die cuts are adhered using Therm O Web 3D white foam squares.
Here is a close up:

For my second card, I used the foil color in Green on another new Designer Toner Sheets called Floral Sketch along with the super cute Brutus Monroe Tea Time stamp set.
Images are stamped using Raven ink and colored using Prisma color pencils. Again the toner sheets is adhered directly to a white card base using Therm O Web Sticky Tape Runner and the colored image is adhered using Therm O Web 3D white foam squares.

Here is a close up:

Hope you liked my card, here is the hop list for you:
