Hello Coral Flowers

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

I made another card for the Altenew Inspiration Challenge this month. I stamped the Statement Flowers on watercolor cardstock with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink for no-line watercoloring. I used my watercolor pens to watercolor the image. I used coral and brown for the flowers and leaves. I decided to make this into a mini slimline card. I embossed the background with Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder - one of my all time favorites and matted it with brown card stock. I die cut the sentiment using the Fancy Hello in brown and added it to the card.

What do you say? This color theme is one of my favorites! Do let me know what you think. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day.

Blue Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a lovely card with blue flowers.

I used the Climber Flowers die set from Altenew to die cut the flowers and leaves. I die cut them on white card stock and colored them with alcohol markers. It's easy to assemble by looking at the layering guide. Once I had the flowers and leaves all assembled, I took a white card base and used the Woven Stencil from Altenew to add a bit of a pattern to the card base. I arranged the flowers and leaves in the way I wanted and adhered them down. For the sentiment, I used the Fancy Hello die, again from Altenew, in black.

Hibiscus

 Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a floral card using stencils.

I had bought this You Are Beautiful stencil set from Altenew few months back. Finally, got a chance to try it today. I don't have the stamp or die that goes along this stencil, I just wanted to try this stencil stand alone. It works so beautifully with ink blending. I added the sentiment from Fresh Freesias stamp set. I die cut the panel with Spellbinders edge dies. I added the green panel as the backing to this panel and added the floral panel on top of it. I also, added a hibiscus on the envelope.

Meadow Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with another floral card. 

From my recent purchase at Technique Tuesday, I got this Meadow Flowers stamp set. I loved coloring it with Copics. For the background, I embossed a piece of coral card stock with Altenew Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, after spraying water on it. I used my Craftwell Cut N Boss for embossing. I get perfect results with 3D embossing folders all the time. I die cut the image with one of the old Divinity Design dies and adhered it on to the embossed panel.

Hyacinth

 Hello everyone!! I'm back with another floral card today, this time with Power Poppy Hyacinth in a Glass image.

I had printed this image on a white card stock with light grey colors for no-line coloring. I colored it with Copics. I enjoyed coloring it. Marcella's images have a lot of  details to it, it makes it so much easier to figure out how to color it. In case you didn't know, Power Poppy blog is back with challenges!

Pink Embossed Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm back with a Copic colored 3D embossed flower using one of Altenew's 3D Embossing Folders.

I used the color scheme from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge. I used the Book Engravings 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a white card stock. Spraying the cardstock with a bit of water first helped get a detailed embossing. I used my Craftwell Cut N Boss to do the embossing. I colored the image with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the Fresh Freesia stamp set.

Wisteria Wishes

Hello everyone!! Recently, I bought a few Technique Tuesday Garden club stamps after eyeing them for quite a while. Their florals are simple and stunning! I decided to color the Cascading Flowers with my copic markers, for a no line coloring.

I stamped the wisteria image with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink and colored the image with copics. I then die cut it with Inspired By Stamping Label dies. I embossed a piece of brown card stock with Altenew Deck Planks 3D embossing folder and inked the raised edges with brown ink. I stamped the sentiment from Inspired By Stamping on the floral panel and added it on to the embossed panel.

Calla Lilies

Hello everyone! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a elegant floral card. 

I love these Calla Lilies from Heartfelt Creations. I have had them for quite some time now. I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and colored them with inks. Then I used my flower shaping tools to give them some definition. I colored few Q tips with yellow ink for the center part of the calla lilies. To assemble them, I used hot glue gun. I also stamped and die cut some fillers from Heartfelt Creations - Tulip Vase & Fillers. For the card base, I used a 5x7 Ivory card base. I die cut few frames from the Heartfelt Creations - Royal Elegance Frames on gold card stock. The sentiment is from Just Rite stamps. This is one of my favorite sets for sentiments, mainly because of the font. I also die cut a few designs from Heartfelt Creations - Swirly Accent Spray and added them to the card.

How do you like my card today? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Watercolored Bouquet

 Hello everyone!! I'm back with another watercolored mini slim line card with a beautiful floral bouquet.

I used the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and water colored it with Chromtek pens. It was a breeze to color these big flowers. If you've been following me for sometime, you probably know that I love to color floral images - and big flowers - they are just a dream to color in!!

Purple Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm back soon with another water colored mini slim line card. 

I stamped the floral image from Courageous You stamp set on a water color card stock with black ink and colored it with Chromatek pens. These pens are really easy to use and I love the colors too. I colored this with the color theme from the Altenew Inspiration Challenge.
