Altenew: Focus on YOU

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Today I have a watercoloured flower card to share with you using brand new Altenew Focus on You stamp set.

Here is what I came up with:
To create the card, I lightly traced a circle on the centre of a watercolour paper panel using a circle die. I then stamped the sentiment from the Focus on You set on panel in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. Next, I stamped flowers & leaves (from the Focus on You set) on a separate watercolour paper using Altenew Sand Dunes dye ink, gently coloured them with watercolour medium, and then fussy cut them out – You can easily make when you use the matching die set. I mounted the sentiment panel on white card base using Altenew glue tape first, and then adhered the watercoloured flowers onto the card (as shown in the picture) using foam tape. I added some dark brown ink splatters around the sentiment area.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew March 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to the Altenew March 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Anna Komenda’s blog you are on the right track!
For my cards today, I am featuring so beautiful Sweet Rose Bouquet and Wildflower Garden stamp sets. Oh, I love these two flower sets so much!!
For my first card, I tried to make a simple yet vintage floral wedding card using the Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp set. I stamped layered roses & leaves on the centre of watercolour paper panel using several dye inks:
Rose petals: (light to dark) Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Midnight Violet
Leaves: Forest Glades, Evergreen
I then die cut the letter “W” from the stamped panel using the Caps Bold Alphabet die set.
I mounted the stamped panel on kraft card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the letter “W” in the exact place using foam tape. I lightly coloured the letter “W” using Antique Linen Distress ink, then added red ink splatters around the stamped rose bouquet.

Here is another floral card with the Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp set – It’s my most favourite set among the entire March release products. I stamped them on white paper panel using dye inks:
Rose petals: (light to dark) Ocean Waves, Dusk, Desert Night
(and) Turquoise, Tide Blue, Starlight
Leaves: Limestone, Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond
(and) Forest Glades
I then stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Garden set on the left part of the stamped panel in pigment black ink, added water droplets using Glossy Accents.

My last card today, I created a (kind of) CAS card with the Wildflower Garden stamp set. I stamped the sentiment on the centre of watercolour paper panel first, and then stamped the flowers & leaves using several dye inks.

Spellbinders: Lacey Borders

Hello crafty friends! I’m just popping in to share with you today my watercolour card using so beautiful Spellbinders Lacey Borders die set.

Here is what I came up with:

I started by die cutting Floral Lacey Borders from watercolour paper 4 times using the Lacey Borders die set. I then adhered them on watercolour paper panel shown as picture using fine tip glue pen. Next, I inked the main panel with several Distress inks: (from top) Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Crushed Olive, and Peacock Feathers. I then lightly brushed over the inked panel with clean water. Once the panel was completely dry, I added opaque white ink splatters all over the panel using Altenew Pure White ink spray.
I decorated the main panel with white linen ribbon & paper flowers, and then mounted the panel on top-folded white card base using double-sided tape. For the little bird, I used the Spellbinders So Tweet die set.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP March Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Welcome to the second day of the Pretty Pink Posh March 2018 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Alix Davis’s blog you are on the right track.

To create the card, I stamped flowers & leaves (from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set) and the sentiment (from the Encouraging Greetings stamp set) on watercolour paper panel in black pigment ink. I then lightly coloured the stamped images with watercolours and a wet paint brush. I added red ink splatters.
For the sparkly rainbow, I stamped it from the Best of Luck set on white card stock using Memento Desert Sand dye ink, die cut it with the coordinating die. Once the watercoloured panel was completely dry, I mounted the panel on top-folded kraft card base using double-sided tape, adhered the stamped rainbow die cut above the sentiment, and then added Jewels on it using fine tip glue pen.
I love these new sparkly Jewels so much!!

For my second card, I created a messy watercoloured flower card with the Cherry Blossoms stamp set. I stamped flowers and leaves on watercolour panel using Antique Linen Distress ink first, and then coloured them with Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, and a bit of Wild Honey Distress inks. Next, I brushed over the coloured images with clean water – Distress inks react with water!
Once the floral panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape, and then added details of the images using 0.05mm Copid multiliner, white ink splatters.

For my last card, I am featuring the Cherry Blossoms set and the Stacked Edges 2 die. I die cut 4 diamond stripes from watercolour paper using the Stacked Edges 2 die first, and then inked stripes with Distress inks and round ink blending tool.
For a cluster of flowers, I stamped & watercoloured them, then die cut them with the Cherry Blossoms coordinating dies. I added Jewels for finishing touches.

GIVEAWAY!!
There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 3/12/2018. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.
