Three Distress Backgrounds and Quick Copic Coloring with Kelly Latevola

Hello Crafters! 

I hope you're enjoying your weekend! 
I'm so looking forward to a day to relax. Even though today was busy it was mostly busy crafting and that's the best kind! 

Before we move on to the cards don't forget we're having a sale!


Head over to the store and pick up that stamp set you've been eye balling! 
Sale time is the best time :) 
Alright, I have a confession. 
I love these fairies and I couldn't create just one card. 


I had so many ideas I just couldn't pick one. So I made them all!! 


The first up is my galaxy fairy. I chose distress inks instead of oxides for this one because they are brighter more richer color. Some second generation stamping a lots of splattering makes this card shine in a matter of minutes! 


For my flower fairy and went even simpler. I super quick distress oxide gradient from green to blue, bottom to top. Add some more splatters and done! This can be used with so many color combinations to get a completely different feel. 


Last but not least, beach day fairy. Because fairies shouldn't miss out on the beach. No one should. 
This background does involve a bit of masking but no fussy cutting is involved. Super easy! Some white acrylic paint gives the water a more realistic look that I love! 

You can check out all three in the video below! 


Thank you guys so much for joining me. 
Have a great weekend!
