Altenew – Paint A Flower Calla Lily

August 22, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Calla Lily blog hop today. You should of gotten here from Erum’s blog. The Paint A Flower Calla Lily is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.

For my first card I pulled out my Karin brush markers to watercolor the flowers. I used a color combination of yellow, pink and green. It really makes the flower pop. When I stamped the image I used versa mark and gold embossing powder. This added just a bit of glam to my card.

For texture I added on some splatter with metallic gold watercolor and some of the pink. I pulled out my vintage nuvo drops to add in some green to this card panel.

Once the panel was dried I layered it onto pink card stock and adhered it to a white card base. All that was left was to stamp a sentiment from the stamp set.

Once my first card was complete, I started working on my second card. For this card I used Copic Markers instead of watercolor. I repeatedly stamped the image towards the bottom of my panel and did some no-line coloring. For added texture I used my color pencils for detail work.

Using the same approach for my next card, I used the Marsh Land washi tape and the Stacked Diamond die cut. I adhered the large roll of washi tape over an A2 card panel to create this beautiful background. Placing the Stacked Diamond die cut on top of these piece, I embossed the die into the paper.

Pinkfresh Studio August 2020 Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop

August 14, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m so excited to be participating in the Pink Fresh Studio August 2020 Blog Hop. This hop is full of wonderful inspiration. Make sure to follow along.

I have three cards for you today featuring new product from this release. For my first card I’m using the Thankful For Friends stamp set and die. I heat embossed the image in gold rush embossing powder. My color medium today is Daniel Smith watercolor pans. After the image was completed dried I die cut it from the watercolor paper. I backed the watercolor piece with black card stock. Next I inlaid the flower pack in popping it up with extra die cuts.

Now for my sentiment, I first stamped it in pink ink and then again in yellow finishing off with black ink. This allowed my sentiment to have some depth to it. Adding just a few embellishments and this card was complete.

My next card was created with the new Color Black Gradiating Stripes cling stamp. I love this stamp for the versatility you can achieve with removing a few of the stripes when you stamp. For this design I pulled out some of my favorite color inks and made stripes in various widths. Next I stamped out stripes in versa mark so I could heat emboss them in gold embossing powder.

Pink Fresh Studio August 2020 Release Blog Hop Giving my card a nice edge I pulled out my stitched rectangle dies. I also ran a piece of grapefruit cad stock through my die cutting machine with a larger stitched rectangle die. Adding a sentiment to the card was a little tricky. So I decided to stamp and heat emboss it on vellum and wrap it around my striped panel.

These panels were adhered to a card base. Keeping the embellishments simple, I added a few gold flat back gems to the vellum piece. Pink Fresh Studio August 2020 Release Blog Hop

My Sweet Petunia/Pink Fresh Studio Blog Hop

August 7, 2020

Hey everyone. Today I’m participating in the My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh studio blog hop. There are amazingly talented people on this hop full of inspiration.

My cards today feature products from Pink Fresh Studio. Of course I would not have been able to create such beautiful cards without my handy Misti stamping tool. My first card I used the Take Pride stamp set and the Botanical Circle from Pink Fresh Studio. Using my Misti I double stamped the image to achieve a rich black image. Next I pulled out my Copics and colored pencils to fill in my flowers.

Once I was complete with the coloring I fussy cut out the image. I placed the Botanical Circle dies onto a piece of card stock and ran it through my die cutting machine to emboss the image onto to the card stock. Placing my floral image onto with foam dots for added dimension. Adhered this panel to a white card base ad added a few enamel dots using my nuvo drops.

My next card features the gorgeous Scripted Bold Sentiments 1 stamp set from Pink Fresh Studio. I pulled out my Misti to stamp the large hooray onto black card stock with versa mark ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with gold embossing powder and heat set it. Once completely heated, I fussy cut the sentiment out.

The background of my card was created using gold striped vellum paper. I think this makes a striking background for my sentiment. Die cutting the vellum and a black piece of cardstock with a stitched die finishes off the boarder of my panels. I popped up the sentiment and added a few nuvo drops to pull in the white from the card base.

My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh Studio are each giving away a $50 shopping spree. Make sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win. Winners will be announced on the My Sweet Petunia and Pink Fresh Studio blogs next Friday. Good luck everyone.
