Celebrate card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

Hi, it's me Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) for you today.

I was so impressed with the "lady stamp" that I continue to use it again and again!)))

Today I wore her the finest black stockings and sat her down on the edge of a giant bottle of milk - a wonderful way to celebrate, I think!

As you can see, all the stamp's prints are cut, painted with watercolors and raised above the background on 3D foam squares. 

Do you want to know what stamps I have used in this project?

Milk Bottle 1 1/2 x 3
Celebrate 3/4 x 3 1/4
Lady Falling 2 1/2 x 3 3/4

It's Your Big Day 3/4 x 1 3/4

Flower Head/Petals 2 x 2

Erlenmeyer Flask 1 x 1 1/2

Round Bottom Flask 1 x 1 1/2

Rain card

Hi, it's me (Maria Potapovich, mellpellmell) here for you today))

As you know, I'm a fan of stamps. But I also love the different paints. And why not?
This time to create this card I took the watercolor paper, stamps, ink, watercolor, and, of course, a pair of scissors)))

What good is similar stamps? And they are good that even without being able to draw, picking up a brush and paint, you can easily create a gorgeous picture!

To create this card I've just used three stamps Lady Falling, Flower and Bird Frame and Life Isn't About  stamp.

I think these sufficiently minimalistic cards, with a touch of "art" are very elegant and graceful...

Do you agree with me?

"You had the power" notebook

Hi, hi, hi)))

It's Maria Potapovich (melpellmell) and a little notebook here for you today))

As you know, I love to do notebooks "from scratch"))

And I love do just fabric covers for notebooks.
This means that the stamps that I'm going to use to decorate the cover should beapart from anything else very clear to imprint has not lost its distinctiveness due to the fabric's rough.

Let's see whether today's stamps coped with this work?

I've used

You Had the Power/Glinda 1 / 3 1/4 stamp

Weathered Tree 3 x 4 1/4

Flock of Geese 1 3/4 x 3

What do you think? Do they coped? ;)

Be adorable card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

Hi, scrapoholics!

It's Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here today to inspire you)))

As you know, I really love the mixed media style, but most often it is perceived as a jumble of colors, structural pastes and just like that ...
And it's very sad - style loses all its charm due to such errors of judgment ...

So lately I've been trying to do projects that can still be attributed to this style, but very simple and "neat".

This time I decided to make a simple and elegant card.

Despite its simplicity, it is quite impressive, I think:

I used two stamps to create this card - Western lily & Be adorable, but each of them, I used only partially))))

And if you noticed, I used THREE medias on such a small space - ink, embossing  powder and watercolor (to color picture) - aaaaaannnnddd sooooo... ahahaha)))), this card is made in the mixed media style!

My red embossing powder is to large with rough particles, but this stamp is so slim and trim that image still got quite distinct!

Hope you liked the simplicity and "modesty" of this card.

Have a creative day!

Paint, ink, two stamps, one flower... and... the card is ready!

Hi))
It's mellpellmell (Maria Potapovich) here today with you!

You know, creating cards for me for some reason is very difficult task.
I do not want to make cards with  kilos of flowers and rhinestones ... but everyone usually do so!

This time I've made it tricky - I've used the flower, just one.
And except it on my card there are only two embellishments - both are made by using stamps (wide strip with chevron and uneven quadrangle with text )!

Here is the video of my card creation:

And I'll show you the photos of the card:

I've used two stamps - Washi Chevron Background 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and Until Further Notice 1 x 2 3/4

Hope you like simple cards...are you?

Pair of mystical ATC

Hi, it's me with you today)))) Yeee, mellpellmell (Maria Potapovich) is the "postmaker" now)))
Sooooooo... Let's start!



I have two stamp on which were written the words, having a little mystical meaning.
This is the "abyss" and the "moonlight".

 I always wanted to do any projects that will reflect my vision of these words.
I think the ATC's  size is very well suited for a quick description of these concepts.

I chose such materials as threads and microbeads - I think they are well suited to create a mystical atmosphere.

Of course, to describe the moonlight I just needed a light bulb!

I have used the "Into The Abyss", "In the pale moonlight"  stamps, and "Washi grid background"  for background.

I hope you feel the mystique!

At least, I tried very hard to show it to you!
