Stay Cool with A Colorful Life Designs

Hi my friends! Sadly, this is my last post a Guest Designer for May 2022 for A Colorful Life Designs, but the good news is that Mary Kay has invited me to be on A Colorful Life Designs' Design Team! Yah!!! So, if you follow my blog, you'll see a lot more of Mary Kay's wonderful stencils: 

Here is the most versatile stencil ever! Sun & Surf Circle...I think I've made about 10 cards with this, but today I am just sharing one of my favorites! I made many backgrounds with this stencil sitting with hubby watching TV and didn't write down the colors, but they are Distress Inks for sure.

I've used a Whimsy Stamps Digital Image called Ice Cream Penguin. This weekend (Memorial Day 2022) Whimsy Stamps' Digital Images are 50% off!

Printed on the rough side of Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper with my Brother laser printer. I wanted that texture for the penguin. To watercolor the image, I used Daniel Smith's 238 Dot Cards. 

I happen to have WOW Sparkling Sand Embossing Powder by Jo Firth Young. I lightly swiped Tsukineko Versamark Watermark Pen on the card and sprinkled the "sand" and heat embossed it.

Glossy Accents and Wink of Stella were added after I fussy cut out this little guy. Popped him up with foam tape.

The sentiment is from Ellen Hutson Stay Cool Stamp & Die Set by Julie Ebersole. Something about this card, I just love! The bright and colorful background with the simplicity of the sentiment and image. Just my style.

Thanks for being with me this month for my journey with A Colorful Life Designs. Enjoyed the creating immensely. See you soon!
