SSS Summer Fun!!

Hello crafty friends, happy Sunday!
I hope you are having a wonderful sunny weekend, cold winter here in Sydney though. ;)
I made 2 cards using the new Summer Flowers stamp set along with other SSS products.
For the first card, I started by stamping the sentiment from the Oh Happy Day set onto the centre of the watercolour panel in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, then summer flowers and leaves from the Summer Flowers set on the edges of the sentiment stamped panel in pigment black. I coloured all stamped images with Derwent inktense colored pencils first, and then lightly brushed them with water brush. I coloured the background with Cracked Pistachio Distress ink and a wet paint brush. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with the Wonky Rectangle panel and then inked all edges of it with Scattered Straw Distress ink and mini ink blending tool. I mounted all elements as shown to white card base using foam tape.

For my second card, I used the Summer Flowers and the Summertime Animals stamp sets. I randomly stamped images from two stamp sets on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in black and then coloured them with Peerless watercolors. Once the panel was dry, I die cut from the bottom right corner of the panel using the Stitches Circle die, decorated the panel with white twine. I stamped the sentiment (from the Summertime Animals set) on white card front in black pigment ink, and then mounted the watercoloured panel on it using foam tape.
Enjoy your summer!!

Altenew Thanks with Botanical Garden Stamp Set

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
I’m up on the Altenew blog today with my clean and simple watercolor flower card using the Botanical Garden Stamp Set.
I started by stamping flowers from the Botanical Garden set onto watercolor paper using embossing ink, heat embossed with Antique Gold Crisp embossing powder. I then watercolored flowers, fussy cut them. Next, I made the flower cluster and then adhered it on the right side of the Spicy Yogurt card base using foam tape. For the sentiment, I used the word “thanks” from the Enchanted Iris die set. To finish it off, I decorated the card front with some enamel dots and the Gold Glitter Tape.

Flora Fauna CAS Cards

Hello crafty friends!
Today I want to share with you a couple cards that I’ve made using the Flora & Fauna You Me and Tea and Texture stamp sets.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by creating a brush stroke background with the Texture stamp set. I repeatedly stamped one brush stroke image on an A2 sized white card stock using some warm coloured dye inks: (from top to bottom) SSS Lemon Zing, SSS Clementine, SSS Rosie Cheeks, Hero Arts Bubble Gum, SSS Rose Apple. Once the panel was dry, I just stamped sentiment and other cute images from the You Me and Tea set on the brush stroke background in black pigment ink, and then mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape.
The sentiment is so sweet, isn’t it?

For my second card, I used the You Me and Tea stamp set as my main supply. I stamped “thank you” teapot and cute bird on the centre of the watercolour panel first, and then stamped flowers around teapot using black pigment ink. I then loosely coloured them with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel and water brush. Once the panel was dry, I stamped small dots from the Texture set using SSS Mint Candy & Velvet Orchid hybrid inks.
To add some dimension to the card, I stamped, coloured, fussy cut “thank you” teapot and bird, then adhered them using foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!

SSS Cherished Release Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Cherished Release Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from Nina Marie Trapani’s blog you are on the right track!

Today I will be sharing with you my summer themed cards using brand new Summer Flowers Stamp Set, Circular Lace Stencil, and Wonky Rectangles Die Set.
As you can guess, my first card is watercolour flower card! :D I randomly stamped flowers and leaves from the Summer Flowers set on watercolour paper using VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink, and then trimmed it down with the Wonky Rectangle panel die. I coloured them with Peerless watercolors and water brush. For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Delightful” from metal gold card stock five times, stacked them up using fine tip glue pen. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I mounted it on an A2 sized top-folded kraft card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment die cut using fine tip glue pen.

For my second card, I used the Circular Lace stencil as my main supply. I laid the stencil over watercolour panel, and then inked with some Distress inks: Abandoned Coral, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive, Victorian Velvet, and Cracked Pistachio. Once the inked panel was dry, I distressed all edges of the panel using Tim Holtz Paper Distresser.
For the sentiment, I used the Believe word die and the Believe stamp set. Around the sentiment, I added some vellum butterflies (from the Butterfly Drift die).

My last card is sunflower card. I heat embossed sunflowers from the Summer Flowers set on kraft panel in white, and then coloured them with Faber Castell polychromos pencils. For the sentiment, I used the Oh Happy Day stamp set.
