The Amy Doodle Of It All . . .

Rainbows, Glitter and Smiles

In case you haven't been told today . . . Remember to smile!
Even though days can be tough lately with all we have to face, we are in this together and we will make it through this together. So Smile! It increases your serotonin, makes others happy, and increases your face value! LOL


I wanted to make a card that was nothing more than something that would bring a smile to your face and what's happier than rainbows, and glitter? I used my Donut Sprinkles stencil to create this gorgeous dripping rainbow and used ink blending with Distress Inks 

Picked Raspberry

Carved Pumpkin

Mustard Seed

Twisted Citron

Salty Ocean

Wilted Violet

to create the background. I used Gina K masking paper to mask the bottom half of the card to create my dripping effect.
(** By the way click on the ink colors to follow link to my local art store. Distress Inks are ONLY $3.98!!! **)

 

Then I added Gina K Silver Glitter Glitz gel to create glitter sprinkles!

 

Just look at how the Glitter Glitz Gel catches the light! It's so sparkly I CAN'T STAND IT!

I hope you have a wonderful day, and If you can't find your smile today then please let this card be for you and I will lend you one of my smiles 

HUGS,

Amy

10 Minute Card Background Stamp

It's 10 minute card time! I am returning with an even simpler quick and easy card. Think about how many background stamps you have, and how often you use them. Why not let the background stamp be the star! I love this one because it's so fast and easy, but it's so fun to make. I could make a ton of these because water coloring is great fun and you can't mess it up! Since the background is the star for this card I chose a super straight forward sketch.
