Kingfisher

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have one more card using the Inspired By Stamping - Australian Nature stamp set. 

This time, I went with the Forest Kingfisher. I stamped it with the fade out ink and colored with alcohol markers. I die cut the image with an oval stitched die. For the background, I picked a matching colored cardstock, cut it into 2 panels and embossed the larger panel with Altenew - Tufted Elegance 3D embossing folder. I adhered both panels on a card base and added a thin strip of silver glitter stock as well. The sentiment is from another IBS stamp set. 

What do you think? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day.

Swallotails

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Recently I was looking at my stash and realized that I haven’t used a lot of them in years! So I’m trying to use some of the old favorites, some still new in package stuff. This card uses one such stamp from one of my favorite stamp companies that I miss so much - Inspired By Stamping. 

I stamped the Swallowtails in both sizes from the Australian Nature stamp set from IBS. I die cut the panel with the arch die. I stamped the orchid leaves from the same stamp set and colored all the images with alcohol markers. For the background, I used Altenew - Crisscross Blooms 3D embossing folder on a teal cardstock with white core. I like the white showing through after the embossing. 

What do you think? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Swans

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have deviated from my usual floral subject :)

I started by inking the background. I used some masking and inked the coral and blue colors. I stamped and fussy cut the swans from Altenew - Modern Swans set and used the water stamp to add some depth to the background. I die the frame with Scrapbook. com arch die. I embossed the frame with Altenew - Crisscross Blooms 3D Embossing folder. I also die cut some leaves using Altenew - Just Leaves die set and adhered it to the inside of the frame. I added the frame with foam tape for some dimension. I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.
