Flora & Fauna: Sending good vibes

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a watercoloured flower card to share with you using the newly released Flora & Fauna Live Life Wildflowers and Texture Five stamp sets – these two are my favourites among entire new products!!
Flora & Fauna Live Life Wildflowers Stamp Set (Left)
Flora & Fauna Texture Five Stamp Set (Right)

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Love Bug set on the centre of watercolour paper panel with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then stamped solid flowers from the Texture Five set around sentiment area with Festive Berries (red) and Wild Honey (yellow) Distress inks, freely brushed over the stamped flowers with clean water. Distress inks react with water!
Next, I stamped outlined flowers, leaves, and bees from the Live Life Wildflowers set (as shown in the picture) with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, lightly coloured them with watercolours. Grey dots are from the Texture Five stamp set.
Once the panel was completely dry, I trimmed the panel out using scallop panel die in the MFT Blueprints 27 Die-namics.
Sending good vibes to you!

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

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!
