Hi everyone! Lydia here for a fun blog hop and collaboration with our friends at Visible Image.
This company has VERY cool, sort of modern, edgy stamp and stencil designs. I got this stencil from them that I just love.
For the first project today, I used the Stay Wild stamp set over an old Gel Press Print - I thought that fiery red background would be perfect for the wild horse breaking free. It's matted in both black and Lemon-Lime Twist on a white card base. The image and sentiment were stamped in Versafine Clair. The stencil in the background of my print is this one.

Then I switched to a pastel mode, with a Daniel Smith watercolor background on cold press watercolor paper. I used the Create It stamp set for that adorable little cat, with the Reason To Smile sentiment. Even though this is cold press paper, the MISTI and Nocturne Ink make the images crisp and perfect!
We all know that cats create a reason to smile every day. :) I added the Like Magic Sequins, matted the image in black, and mounted on patterned paper on a white card base.

These are both part of a blog hop today with My Sweet Petunia and Visible Image.
Now we both have prizes for two lucky people who comment on all the stops in our hop. Just leave us a comment by Monday, April 30th, and you'll be eligible to win a $50 Visible Image shopping spree, or a $50 MISTI shopping spree. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, May 1st in our Team Tuesday post and on the Visible Image blog.
Here's the full list, and the next person on the hop is the lovely and talented Veerle.
Thanks for stopping by, and good luck!

Great cards--I'm a cat person so of course that one is my favorite! Thanks for a fun hop!
ReplyDeleteFabulous projects, with great colours, hugs P xxxx
ReplyDeleteLove your projects - the drama of the first one and the softer hues in the second one all show the stamps off perfectly. A great way to end a great hop. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThese are really amazing!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I really need to live by the card with the horse sentiment! That fits me to a tea! I also love the color choices that you used for each card too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just a heads up, twice now, I've tried to leave a comment on Eileen's blog for the hop, & it has been returned. "Mailer-daemon," saying the address not found. :(

Love these cards, Lydia! Thanks, Iliana, for sponsoring this hop with a great prize. I had so much fun!! I got so much inspiration, too. I loved showing how I adapted the MISTI for use in a lumpy journal. I couldn't make anything now without my trusty sidekick, the ORIGINAL MISTI! Much love!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards.Really enjoyed this bloghop, so many talented people and great work!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, your matting and layering really makes the images pop, thanks for the inspiration xx
ReplyDeleteКруто! Очаровательно! Мне очень нравится)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Both card are stunning! Love that gelli print backgrounds with stencil and stamp.
ReplyDeleteLydia, your cards are always so vibrant and unique! I especially love the wild horse who looks like he is kicking up a storm! Love the fiery red bg.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards. Love the background colours. Red background with black stamping is stunning effect.

Really great.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking horse card...striking and just stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful projects...the colors and designs are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow--great cards--love the stamps and the colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment on the horse card, and that image would have been a hot mess without a Misti, I'm betting. I would never have considered a stamp with that much solid space before the Misti, just knowing I'd never get a good impression. The things we can do now!!! Great cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this info. I just want to let you know that I just check out your site and I find it very interesting and informative. I can't wait to read lots of your posts.
