Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the second day of the Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop!! We have 14 brand new stamp sets, 15 new die sets, and re-inkers in September! If you arrived here from Keeway Tsao’s blog you are on the right track!
For my first two cards, I used the Cotton Comfort stamp set along with the Holiday Wishes stamp set.
I love white on kraft! This is one of my favourite colour combinations for Christmas cards. I stamped the large cotton flower from the Cotton Comfort set on kraft card stock in brown pigment ink, coloured it with white polychromos pencil, and then die cut it with the matching die. For the sentiment panel, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Holiday Wishes set in white, stamped cotton flowers randomly using Tea Dye Distress ink, added white ink splatters, ink blended all edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink.
I tied the jingle bells on the cotton flower because it’s a Christmas card! :D
I randomly stamped cotton flowers from the Cotton Comfort set on watercolour paper panel in brown pigment ink, and then watercoloured the panel using Distress inks and a wet paint brush. I added white ink splatters. For the sentiment, I used the Holiday Wishes stamp set.
For my third card, I made a shaker Christmas card using the Night Before Christmas stamp & die set. I stamped cotton flowers from the Cotton Comfort set randomly onto white paper panel using Silver Stone dye ink, then cut a Christmas tree window on the centre of the stamped panel using the Night Before Christmas die. For the ombré stamped tree, I used the Bamboo, Forest Glades, and Evergreen dye inks.
For my last card, I made a watercoloured flower card using brand new Just Because stamp set. It looks gorgeous in my eyes, haha!! I stamped the flower cluster on watercolour paper in black pigment ink, lightly watercoloured the stamped image using watercolour pencils and water brush, and then fussy cut it. I mounted it on the left side of kraft card using foam tape, and then added white ink splatters.

Lovely cards! I couldn’t really visualize how I could use the cotton stamp set but your cards have showcased it beautifully – now I can see the beauty of it.
Beautiful creations Yoonsun!! When I first saw this Cotton Comfort set it wasn’t jumping out at me but after seeing what you’ve done with it I am seeing it’s beauty. You’ve showed it off beautifully!! Your colouring on the last card is just lovely. I like the soft, muted colours? My favourite is the first one though. It is absolutely gorgeous!! That panel with the shading and the edges coloured and curled like that is perfection! And I’d agree with you, the white on kraft is the ultimate colour combination!
Everything is so gorgeous!! Those cotton cards are so special with the bells, who wouldn’t want to get one!! The tree is fabulous too! I gravitate to the Just because card because the stamp it is on it’s way to me and your card is stunning!! I may have to use some of the ideas / details you used to make it….💖💕💕💖it!! Thank You!!
All of your cards are beautiful! Who knew that a cotton flower could make such lovely holiday cards? But my favorite is the watercolor flowers on the kraft card. It just speaks to me! Thanks for the inspiration.
