I made two cards for your dose of inspiration today. The first one I think is my favorite. I love the bright flowers against this black background. It truly makes the flowers pop! The stencils makes coloring the image so easy. The card panel started out white. I used a black Copic marker to fill in around the image to make the drastic change in color.

Altenew Craft Your Life Kit - July 2021

For this card, I used the embossing folder in the kit. I ran the embossing folder through my die cutting machine. Next I pulled out some chalks I had to add the color. Lastly I fussy cut around the image, and popped it up on a onto a kraft card base. All that was left was a simple sentiment and some nuvo drops in white and this card was complete.

 

 

I really love everything in this kit. I really does make card making easy. Next on the hop is Virginia. I’ve also included the entire list of participants just in case you need to find your way through the hop. Oh let’s not forget the giveaway.

    These 2 card designs couldn’t be more opposite of each other – I think the black copic colored background in card 1 is an amazing idea – it really makes the colors of the flowers pop off the page.

    Wow, your first card took my breath away. It is gorgeous! I have a forum friend who likes your second card best, which I hadn’t seen at the time. When I saw it, before coming to your blog, I told my friend that it looked like you used craft chalks to color it. Very happy that I nailed it, and that you’ve inspired me to pull those chalks out again. I haven’t used them in years! Very lovely cards – can’t wait until the kit is restocked.

Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a chance to play with some new products I purchased from @ginakdesigns.

My first card is using the beautiful Contemporary Floral embossing folder and stencils. When I saw this debut, it was right in my cart. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder and stencil. The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!
