Altenew: Forever and Always

Hello crafty friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Today I have three floral cards to share with you using so beautiful Altenew Forever and Always stamp set.

Doesn’t it look like a real rose? Oh, these two rose bouquets are so beautiful!

For my first card with the Forever and Always set, I created a watercolour card. I stamped the rose bouquet on a watercolour paper using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, watercoloured it, and then die cut it with the matching die.
I ink blended on a rectangle watercolour paper panel with Tattered Rose Distress ink, and then stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the panel in black. I die cut from the sentiment panel using the same die, then inlaid the watercoloured rose die cut. Finally, I mounted it on a top-folded kraft card base using double-sided tape.

For my second card, I used the Altenew Artist Markers for flower colouring. I stamped the roses from the Forever and Always set on kraft cardstock using Altenew Mocha dye ink, coloured them with the Artist Markers, and then die cut them with the matching dies. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it onto dark brown cardstock with white embossing powder, and then fussy cut it.

For my last card today, I used polychromos coloured pencils for flower colouring. I heat embossed the rose bouquet on kraft cardstock with white embossing powder first, coloured it with polychromos coloured pencils, and then die cut it using the matching die.
For the card base, I die cut 4 laces from kraft cardstock using the Altenew Creative Edges: Lace die, and then adhered them on the same kraft card base using fine tip glue pen. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card in black and then added the rose bouquet on the centre of the card front using foam tape.

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

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Spellbinders: Lord is My Strength

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
Today I want to share with you my colorful (and cheerful) watercolour card with some Spellbinders Joanne Fink Bible Journaling collection products.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Take Delight set on the centre of the watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Smokey Grey pigment ink. I then randomly stamped flowers, butterflies, birds, treble clef around the edges of the panel using the same gray pigment ink. I stamped the sentiment & flowers on a separate watercolour paper in grey for adding dimensions to my card later.
I brushed over the stamped images with clean water first, and then coloured them with watercolours just the way I like! I also coloured another stamped flowers (from the Inspiring Others stamp set) with watercolours, and then fussy cut them out.
Once the panel was completely dry, I decorated the panel with lacy ribbon & small flowers as shown to the picture, and then mounted the panel on white card base using double-sided tape. Finally I added the sentiment panel & flowers using foam tape. :)

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

Spellbinders: Live By Inspiring Others

Hello crafty friends!
I am so thrilled to be the guest designer for Spellbinders this month. In February, I will be sharing greeting cards using so beautiful Bible Journaling collection by Joanne Fink – It is SO inspiring!
For today’s card, I’m featuring the Inspiring Others Stamp Set along with other Spellbinders dies.

Here is what I came up with:

Here are step-by-step photos:
1) Die-cut Geo Flower die from the Kaleidoscope collection from pale grey card stock.2) Make own adhesive panel using double-sided tape. Overlap the tapes carefully so there are no gaps.
3) Adhere Geo Flower die cut on adhesive panel. Trim outside of the die cut out using a scissors.
4) Apply glitters onto the sticky part of the die cut panel. Rub glitter with fingers to set in place.
5) Stamp butterflies from the Inspiring Others set onto watercolour paper using black pigment ink, and then watercolour them. Allow to dry completely. Fussy cut them out.
6) Die-cut 4 laces from pale grey card stock using one of the beautiful lace borders in the Small Die of the February Kit.

Lastly, I stamped sentiment from the Inspiring Others set on the same pale grey card stock using black pigment ink, and then trimmed it out using the Geo Flower die set – I just used the solid shape.

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

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew: Floral Thank You Card

Hello crafty friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I’m just popping in to share with you today my floral “Thank You” card using the Adore You stamp set and the Creative Edges: Lace die – These two are my favourites!!

I started by stamping flowers and leaves from the Adore You set randomly onto watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink, and then sentiments under the stamped images using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink.
I brushed over the stamped images with clean water first, and then coloured them with watercolours.
I roughly watercoloured all the stamped images. This is a very exciting way to paint outlined flowers!

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