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. 

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

Gladiolus

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I’m back after a short break. Today I have a floral card with a hummingbird. 

I used the Altenew - Gladiolus dies to make the flowers and leaves. I colored the layers with copics. Then I stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the Altenew - Hummingbird stamp. I embossed a piece of white card stock with Altenew - Elegant Flourish 3D embossing folder and inked the embossed parts lightly with teal ink. Then I arranged the flowers, leaves and hummingbird and adhered them. I matted the white card stock with an aqua cardstock. That’s it! I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

Noel

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card in the postage stamp style. 

I die cut the postage stamp using the die from Brass & Bliss. I used the coordinating stencil to ink the stamps with a light teal ink. I used the Inspired By Stamping - Snowflakes stamp set in different tones of teal. The sentiment is also from the same set.

Cosmos

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a floral card to share with you. 

I love using black background on my cards. I embossed it with Altenew - Geo Diamonds 3D embossing folder. I die cut some of the flowers from Altenew - Cosmos die set and colored the layers with copics and assembled the layers. I also die cut a few buds and leaves and arranged them all on the background. This was inspired by the current Altenew inspiration challenge. 

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

Holly & Peace

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. I know! I know! It’s only March :) But I have decided to get a few Christmas cards done every month to avoid the last minute rush :)

I used the Simon Says Stamp - Gathered Holly 3D embossing folder to emboss a green cardstock and then I inked it with darker green for some depth. For the sentiment, I used Altenew - Fancy Peace die cut on gold cardstock. I love the gold on the green background. 

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

Anemones

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another floral card to share with you. 

I used the HoneyBee Stamps - Lovely Layers: Anemones die to die cut the flowers, leaves and buds. I inked the flowers and buds lightly with a yellow-green ink. It was pretty easy to assemble the layers. I arranged them on a black cardstock and adhered them. 

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

Dahlia Time

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I’m back after a short break for Spring Break. I have floral card today, using colors from the current Altenew Inspiration challenge. 

I recently got some new goodies from Altenew. Among those were the Timeless Sands and Darling Dahlia. I die cut the dahlias in pink and adding some inking on the center. For the background, I chose Deck Planks 3D embossing folder. I arranged the sand timer and the flowers and leaves on it and adhered them down. The colors are from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.
