Colorful Little Dreamers with Kelly

Hello Crafters! How was your weekend?

We had wonderful weather here, which was a welcome change from the two straight weeks of rain let me tell you.
I may love Spring, but my naturally curly hair does not. Yikes!

On a happier note, Spring always makes me want to break out the pastel colors when it comes to card making. The new Little Dreamers stamps was the perfect set to get those pastel colors on paper!

There's lot of ink blending and die cutting on this card. Nope, I haven't been possessed by aliens. This card just called for it - and who am I to tell a card no?

You can watch the card come together in the video below:

Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

I'm pretty sure these little charmers would be adorable in any color combination, but I'm absolutely smitten with them in these unconventional colors! Those sweet pastels just make the card for me.

Thanks so much for dropping in!

We thought we'd kick of this release with a dose of cuteness overload! But don't worry, this is the kind of cute anyone can get behind. Cute and sweet, yet charming with a hint of whimsy - thanks to the wonderful illustration style of Stephany Zerbe.

Today, I'd like to introduce you to the Little Dreamers stamp set and Little Dreamers Companion Die. And, if you like this set, you'll love the sister set that will also be available - Stardust

Stardust

See what I mean? And if you think they're cute in black and white. Check them out in full on color!

I wanted to create a deep yet vibrant night sky as a backdrop for these little guys. And I knew that a distressed ink blending technique would be perfect for this. I began by distressing a white cardstock panel with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers. Then splattered it with water and let it dry to create the spattering of water marks to break up the solid color. Then, I added some gold splatter using Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

To color the cute critters, I stamped them all in a Copic safe ink and then colored them with Copic Markers.

I die-cut the distressed panel using the scalloped rectangle from the Sunshine Layers Die and adhered the die-cut images with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment "Reach for the Stars", also included in the same stamp set in PURE COLOR Dye Ink in Black. I decided to also distress the card base with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire to match the distressing on the focal panel. Some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh finish off the card.

I couldn't stop at one card. So for this second card, I wanted to create an all-over background by simply stamping the images directly on my card panel and coloring them with Copic markers.

This time I mounted it onto a pink card base for a pop of color. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and also adhered with foam tape to finish off the card.

I hope you've enjoyed today's preview. Be sure to stop by again tomorrow for a look at another new floral set!
