The Moon Goddess Has Landed!

I was so excited when I opened this month's MoonMail package from RubberMoon! Why? Because, along with the Moon Goddess stamp by Claudia Rose, came the announcement that RubberMoon is once again carrying a huge line of Claudia Rose's designs!

I want all of them.

I'm not kidding. I would  never joke about something as serious as rubber stamps!

As it stands right now, I only have this one. So, I had to do at least a couple of different projects. I loved it so much on the card I made that I went right ahead and made a magnet to go with it. (Moments like this are why the laundry is always in the dryer and not folded and put away.)

For the card I simply stamped the image on glossy white paper with StazOn Jet Black ink. I added the "to the moon & back" sentiment in StazOn as well. I colored it in with ColourArte Twinkling H20s.

The magnet began as a credit card blank. I stamped it with StazOn also, but colored it in with sharpies.

Where will your imagination take you? Happy Crafting!

Flower Power

This week I decided to play with my new Mason Jar Flowers stamp from RubberMoon. It's so sweet and so much fun to color in!

For the card above, I began with a scrap of watercolor paper. Whenever I have left over ink, or paint, or anything like that from a project, I like to smear it onto cardstock to use later as a background. That's what I did here. It's a combination of Colourarte Twinkling H2O's left on a brush and a blob of Liquid Pearls that came out when I was trying to get the gunk unstuck.

Since my background was already in place, I simply stamped the image using StazOn Jet Black ink. I colored it in with Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils, using a combination of wet and dry.

For the card above, I again used StazOn Jet Black ink, but this time I stamped the image on glossy white cardstock. 

I painted it in with Twinkling H2O's. You can't tell from the scan, but the whole thing shimmers so prettily! It needed a little something extra, I thought, so I dipped my wet brush into my paint again and did a little splatter effect.

The little flowers were punched from orange cardstock using an old Marvy Uchida punch that I have. The "hello" sentiment is part of RubberMoon's Hello Sunshine stamp.

Once again, I've managed to create two completely different designs using one stamp. I tend to let the colors take me wherever they want to go.

Where do the colors take you?
