Happy Easter to you!.....{MCT Trending Now~Spring Fling}

Good Morning everyone!!

I am back from vacation and trying to get back into the swing of things both in the house and here on my blog! I promise to be around really soon to play catch-up and know that I am not ignoring all your wonderful projects!!! Just give me a few more days to make my rounds!!!!!

I am sharing a card today for
My Creative Time's
Trending Now.....Spring Fling 

and the DT is making projects using Watercolors!!

Here is my Easter card......

take a look and let me know what you think!

I am fairly new at playing with watercolors and have to be honest....I struggled with this card. Not the actual design of the card, the watercolor part...LOL!

After playing around with several different colors of my Zig markers, I settled with these pastel colors for my Easter card.  I wanted something CAS so that I could mass produce these if needed and I think I came up with something even I can say I like :)

To make my card, I die cut a piece of watercolor paper using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and then started my watercolor design.

I colored each of the panels using my Zig markers and then ran some water over each color to achieve the watercolor look I wanted. I did go back and add more color to the yellow and blue since they were the lightest of the bunch. Very easy!

Next after my watercolor was dry, I stamped my sentiment from the new set~ Favorite Bunny. Such a perfect Easter set!!

I then wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine around the card and popped the whole mat onto a kraft cardstock base. The finishing touch to my card is that cutie little bunny die cut from the newly released set~ Mini Bunny Dies

A quick and easy card to make that can be mass produced using lots of different sentiments!

I hope you like my card!

MCT 54th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the

54th New Release 

from

My Creative Time!

Today's new stamp/die set is:

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

and will surely be another favorite!! Here is the card I made using this set....

For my card today I pulled out my zig watercolor markers and played around a little to make this CAS design. 
I am loving the new dies and sentiment with this set and really wanted to showcasing them so I die cut the new cloud and sun using watercolor paper and added some color to them.
Next I added some watercolor to my card mat to then pop up my die cuts.
The sentiment was stamped onto my mat, I added 2 tiny heart die cuts (also part of this set) and some random sequins.

MCT 48th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Sneaks for the 

My Creative Time 48th New Release!!

What did you think of yesterday's sneak??? Ready for more????

Today we are showcasing the new set~

Best Friend Background Stamp

For my card today, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and tried some new techniques. First I have this gorgeous set of zig watercolor markers that I have yet to try out so to make my card, I started out with some Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and 3 colors, making a colorful background. Next I stamped the new Best Friend Background Stamp onto my card mat, stamping partially and only covering the background stamp with a random pattern of ink. I think it gives the card some extra texture~ thoughts??

Then I moved onto the sentiment. I ended up mixing 2 sentiment stamps~ Things I Love.... & Fun Variety on the Inside & Out to make the "to my best" sentiment. I used the "friend" die cut from yesterday's sneak Friendships are Forever and cut it out using some sparkly black paper. To finish my card off, I used the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for my card mat, added a strip of the black sparkly paper behind the popped up card mat and placed 2 black enamel dots as my embellishment.
