NEW Ragamuffin

Here's a quick look at the NEW Ragamuffins collection from IOD.

 

 

"Love" card, by Alice Carman

What do you think of  the Ragamuffins collection from IOD?  Isn't this cute?  I love the muted colors in this collection and the embellishments are uber cute!

I also used Monarch Canvas Flowers to add texture to my card.  You can stamp it, ink it, glitter and paint. 

I stamped on my flowers then I used a heat gun to set it.  Next I used my Twinkling H2O's to color and I added a little glitter for the center.

Supplies

Monarch Canvas Flowers Self Adhesive 5x12

Petite Twinkling H20 Sunburst

Petite Twinkling H20 Chestnut Brown

Petite Twinkling H20 Poppy Red

New "Love Blooms" Paint-it collection!

Hi....this is Alicia, and I am thrilled to showcase the new Love Blooms Paint-it collection.  These papers are so versatile and so much fun to play with.  I created this beautiful page with my daughter's homecoming photos and I loved the hearts and florals on the papers I used.   I just chose different colors of Luminarte paints to paint the flowers and look how the floral pattern really popped when they were painted.

 

 

I also sprayed the background with some of the pretty Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist for extra color. 

Alice made this gorgeous card with the Love Blooms collection too.
