Favorite Ever Blog Hop Giveaway


Happy Friday! Today the Ambassadors from Graciellie Designs are sharing our favorite kits from the shop. I chose the two that I seem to go back to time and time again.

First up is this darling flower cone found in the Sweetness kit. I usually go with bright colors for the flowers, but I'm ready for Autumn, so I used yellow and orange. I fussy cut the image and backed onto a background that I foiled with this awesome green sketch. I love how it turned out!




Next up I used this fun coffee cup found in Stay Strong. I love coffee, but it's been super hot here and my office AC is dead, so I went with a bright, fun refresher drink. Of course it's caffeinated because the heat is making me sleepy. I used three of the papers found in the Coffee Lovers Digi Paper Pack. I also paper pieced the heart in patterned paper that matched the digi paper. Now I'm ready to drink one of these fun drinks! 








What are your favorites from the shop? What new kit would you like to pick up? You're in luck because the entire shop is 30% off from now until the 13th! And be sure to leave comments on all of the blogs for your chance to win a $15 gift card.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Distress Oxide Galaxy Background


My good friend's husband sustained a pretty serious injury, that is going to require a long recovery, so I decided to brighten his day with this cute lil snail from the Unity Stamp Co's Happy Snail Mail. He's just darling and the sentiments are really cute.

After stamping him on my watercolor paper, I masked him off and started adding distress oxides. Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, and Wilted Violet are the brights that are randomly applied to the background. Faded Jeans and Black Soot make up the night sky. Some water drops and white spray ink make up the stars. After the sky was done, I pulled out my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors (because they are so nice a cheerfully vivid) and painted the stamped image.

Hope your day finds you with a spring in your step!

Happy creating
