Spring Blog Hop | Visionary Art by Carmen Alicia

Welcome to the SVG Attic–SnapDragon Snippets Spring
Has Sprung blog hop! We are so excited to have you join us today!

At each stop of the hop we hope you will be inspired by the
creativity of the design teams of SVG Attic and Snapdragon Snippets. You are

You should be arriving from Beth‘s blog. If you happened across this post
out of order, please head to the SVG
Attic blog to start
at the beginning of the hop.

Here are the projects I created for this hop:

I’ve been experimenting with Dylussions Inks Sprays on watercolor paper so I used the watercolor paper to create the following cards.

The first card is from the Welcome Spring SVG Collection. I cut out plain watercolor paper using my Cricut and then sprayed Heidi Swapp ink sprays on the base of the flower and the cut out flower shape, then I used the prepared watercolor paper to cut out the bird two times using my Cricut Expressions electronic cutter. I then added molding paste plus a small amount of black distress ink and applied it through Martha Stewart’s Angle Wings Stencil. This made the feathers on the bird appear more realistic, then on top of the feathers I added Heidi Swapp’s Tinsel ink spray with the sprayer. The eye is a mat pearl. The “Thinking of You – please know i care -” is a new sentiment from Unity Stamp Company.

For the second 6×6 card I used elements from the Give A Hoot SVG Collection. I created the background by using an embossing pen to outline the branches and leaves on the designer card stock, then I added white embossing powder, heated it with the heat gun and when dry, I added green and yellow Gelatos, followed by spraying water and blending the colors together. I used the prepared watercolor paper and cut out the owl and the heart tree. The branch is cut out of a DCWV card stock. I also colored the leaves with Gelatos.

Then I stamped “miss you” with a $1 stamp I bought at Michael’s.

Here you can see the watercolor paper with the Dylussions in spray, I love the rich colors they produce.
