Watercolor Roses with Karen Reategui

Hello friends, I'm so happy to be here today sharing this watercolor card that I made using products from Picket Fence Studios and my original MISTI.

Let's start! With the help of my original MISTI I stamped the Watercolor Roses stamp using Black Hybrid ink onto an A2 watercolor panel.  

Then, using a watercolor brush I applied Jane Davenport Watercolors. Also, I added some splatters of metallic gold ink from Hero Arts around the panel using a fan brush.

Once my panel was dry, I stamped my sentiment from the same Watercolor Roses Stamp using my MISTI and the Black Hybrid ink from Picket Fence Studios.

I trimmed down my panel a little bit and I adhered a panel of Neenah Desert Storm plus a white card base at the back. As a final touch I added some Autumn Leaves Gem Mixes from Picket Fence Studios and this card was done.

I hope you like this card and give this a try. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, please have a wonderful day and you will find the list of supplies below.

Your friend, Karen

 

Ocean Waves with Karen Reategui

 Hello friends! Today I'm sharing this ocean themed slimline card where I am featuring products from Picket Fence Studios: Slim Line Ocean Waves Cover Plate Die, A Fishy Lot Stamp Set, You Were Mermaid for Me Stamp Set and a combination of Paper Glaze Ombre Polar Ice Layers and Paper Glitz. 

Let's begin! I started by applying a mix of Paper Glitz and Paper Glaze Ombre Polar Ice Layers to a piece of white cardstock using a stencil pad from Thermo Web. I let the Paper Glaze dry for about 20 minutes and once it was dry I placed the Slim Line Ocean Waves Cover Plate Die on top and run this through my die cutting machine.    

Additionally, I die cut a slimline base out of white cardstock using the Slim Line Die Cutting System and applied Catherine Pooler inks: Aquatine, Something Borrowed and Juniper Mist. I applied these inks using the Life Changing Blender Brushes from Picket Fence Studios. 

I glued the Ocean Waves die cut on top of the ink blended background and then I adhered a white slimline folded note card using more glue.

On the picture above you can have a closer look of the sparkle from the mix of Paper Glitz and Paper Glaze. 

Also, I stamped a mermaid and some sea creatures from A Fishy Lot Stamp Set. Then, I colored the images with Copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

Finally, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto velum using WOW! Embossing Glitter Cupcake Heaven and placed all die cuts on top of my background along with some sequins.

I hope you like this slimline card and have a wonderful day. Your friend,

Karen

Have Faith Today with Karen Reategui

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing this bright and shinny encouragment card using Picket Fence Studios products and the original MISTI.

Let's begin! I started by placing the new Wave Sun Stencil from Picket Fence Studios on top of an A2 panel, then I applied distress oxide inks using the Life Changing Blender Brushes. The inks I used Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade. Once I finished applying the colors I didn't removed the stencil.

Next, I mixed Ranger Texture Paste Transparent Gloss with Nuvo Pure Sheen Glitter Diamond and using a spatula I applied this mix through the stencil. When I finished I immediately removed the stencil and let this panel dry overnight. Because the texture paste is transparent you will be able to see the colors from the background and also all the shine from the glitter, giving this background a wonderful look.  

Once it was dry, I adhered a piece of vellum and wrapped it around the panel. I secured the vellum using glue. I also, heat embossed a piece of cardstock using WOW! Minty Embossing Glitter and die cut from it the word FAITH using the Seeing Double Alpha Die. I added the letters on top of the vellum using glue.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment from BFF Favorite Hello and added it to the velum below the word FAITH. Last, I placed some gems around from the Fire Gem Mixes and adhered a folded note card at the back of this panel. 

Hope you like this card and brings you a little bit of hope and faith with all its bright and shinny colors. Wish you a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by!

Your friend,

Karen
