Altenew 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to the first day of the Altenew’s 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from the WOW! Embossing Powder blog you are on the right track!
This blog hop is in honour of celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of the Altenew. I am so honoured to be taking part in this blog hop celebration!!

I made a happy birthday card for the Altenew!! I love making white heat embossed images + Distress ink blended background with the Altenew flower stamp set! I randomly heat embossed flowers and leaves from the Floral Garden set in the New Day card kit on watercolour panel in white, and then ink blended on it with some Distress inks in rainbow order: Festive Berries, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers and Victorian Velvet. I then lightly brushed on the ink blended panel using a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on Spicy Yogurt card base using foam tape first, and then added the sentiment banner using foam tape as well.
Happy 3rd anniversary, awesome Altenew!!

SSS He is RISEN!

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy Monday!
Easter is just around the corner!! So today I want to share with you my Easter card with the Simon Says Stamp More Spring Flowers and Happy Easter stamp sets along with other SSS products.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping flowers and leaves from the More Spring Flowers set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in Antique Linen Distress ink, then coloured them with Distress markers – I used no-line watercolouring technique. I coloured the background of the panel using Pumice Stone Distress ink. Next, I die cut the Cross from watercolour paper using the Crosses die set, stamped the sentiment from the Happy Easter set with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, then roughly coloured the Cross with Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress inks. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I mounted it on A2 white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the Cross using Foam tape.
He is RISEN! Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Corinthians 15:20)

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

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

The Stamp Market – From Me To You

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!
I am SO excited and happy to be a guest designer for The Stamp Market! I love their fresh and unique style so much!! Today I want to share with you my couple of floral cards with so gorgeous Kindness Noted Stamp Set and Papillon Stamp & Cut Bundle.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping flowers from the Kindness Noted set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I then lightly coloured them with Distress inks and water brush – I used Festive Berries, Scattered Straw, Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough, and Pumice Stone. Next, I stamped and die cut the butterfly from the Papillon Stamp & Cut Bundle. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Kindness Noted set on black card stock in white. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the butterfly die cut and the sentiment banner using foam tape.

Here is another card that I used the same way as the first card but using different colours.

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

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
