Peonies

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

It’s no secret that I love Susan’s Garden dies. I used the Spellbinders - Double and Single Peonies die set to make the flowers. I used leaves from this set and the Spellbinders - Foliage and Ladybugs die set. I used copic markers to add some shading to the flowers. The background die is also from Spellbinders - from the Amazing Paper Grace line called Cannetille Rectangle die set. I love the gold on black. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Birthday Hibiscus

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a birthday card with hibiscus flowers. 

I used the Altenew - Paint A Flower - Hibiscus to stamp the flowers using Fade-out ink for no-line coloring, then colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them. I colored the flowers in coral and pink. I die cut the Altenew - Fine Frames: Diamonds to die cut the 3 thin diamond frames in white and adhered them to black card stock panel. I added the flowers to this. For the sentiment, I used the happy birthday from Altenew - Fresh Freesia Stamp set and fussy cut it too. That’s pretty much it.

Beautiful Peonies

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

I used the Altenew - CAF Open Peony layering die set for this card. I die cut the pieces in white card stock and blended them with colored inks. It was pretty easy to put together. This die set did not have a bud, so I made one with just the inner most layers. On hindsight, I could have inked the stamen part as pink for the bud. I think that would have gone better maybe. Next time :) I used the Altenew - Fine Frames cover die to die cut that frame in white glitterstock. I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration challenge.

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

Recently I bought quite a few goodies from Altenew. The Ratan Stripe die and Garden Trellis die are part of the haul. I die cut the Ratan Stripes twice and the Garden Trellis once and layered them to create the background. The floral image is a freebie coloring card that was included in my order.

Flowers in Arch

 Hello everyone! I have another copic colored floral card inspired by Altenew Inspiration Challenge today.

I used the Altenew - Peonies and Berries stamp set, a very well loved stamp set with which I have made a lot of cards :) I used masking sheets and stamped the entire floral bunch with Fadeout ink for no-line coloring. I used my copic markers for coloring. I bought this Scrapbook.com arch die set earlier this year and been waiting to use it. This card seemed like the perfect opportunity to open it. The sentiment is from Altenew - Fresh Freesia stamp set. Color inspiration is from Altenew Challenge.

Diamond Frame Flowers

 Hello everyone! I'm back with another card for the Altenew Challenge, this time using a die set that I have not used yet.

I started by embossing the background with Altenew - Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. I love how crisp that embossing looks. Then I stamped the Altenew - Flower Delight stamp with Fadeout ink for no-line coloring. I fussy cut the image after coloring it with Copics. I die cut the Fine Frame - Diamonds on white card stock. I used pieces of washi tape to hold the positive and negative die cuts together, so that the positive die cuts hold the shape. Then I carefully removed the negative die cuts (and put it safe to use for another project ;)) with the washi tape still on and applied glue on the back of the frames and glued it on to the embossed card stock. Then I removed the washi tape. I adhered the floral image and sentiment on to the card. The color is inspired from the Altenew Challenge.

The sentiment is also from the Statement Flowers stamp set. The inspiration for this card comes from this picture of Altenew Inspiration Challenge (for which I made this card):

GIU Day 2 - Wonderful Flowers

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is Day 2 of my Growing in Unity Week. Today I have a mini slim line floral card for you using Linen Flowers stamp set.

I wanted to make this card in mini slim line style. I stamped the floral image with Ink on 3 - Fade Out ink for no-line coloring and colored it with Copic markers (I used R24, R22 and R20 for red, G99, YG67, YG3, YG61 and YG03 for green). This image reminds me of embroidered flowers on frocks from my childhood. I stamped the sentiment over the flowers. I did not have a matching color card stock for matting. So I colored the edges of the card base with R22 (middle color I used) to match with the flowers. For pearls, I took some white pearls and colored them with R24 (darkest color I used) to match perfectly!
