Altenew June 2020 Inspiration Challenge

June 15, 2020

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing a card for the Altenew June 2020 Inspiration Challenge. Jaycee is picked a striking yet calm color palette. I wanted to try out florals using brown inks and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

The Altenew Flowering Cistus was perfect for Altenew June 2020 inspiration challenge as it only has a few layers for each flower. For my color choice I used Lawn Fawn inks in Pizza Crust, Doe and Walnut. These nice shades of browns really played well together.

I really love how this card came out and it was super easy to make. That lovely background paper is from the Recollections Foil 6×6 paper pad. I ran the paper through my Next Level Woven embossing folder. Since I did not achieve an accurate stamp position in the center of the flower, I decided to cover up my error with white blizzard Nuvo Crystal Drops, plus it added a touch of sparkle.

Bouquet Of Roses – Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

August 26, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m joining in on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge using the Bouquet of Roses stencil and some distress oxide inks. The theme for this week is clean and simple. This card totally works as it’s almost a one layer card with a simple design. I started off the card by adhering my stencil over a piece of bristol card stock with Pixie Spray. I carefully added worn lipstick and spiced marmalade to the flowers and used citron and mowed lawn for the leaves. Before I removed the stencil I spritzed on some shimmer spray to activate the colors but also for the sparkle.

Once this panel was dried I ran it through my Gemini Jr. with a stitched rectangle die and stamped a sentiment from the Handmade Happiness stamp from Hero Arts. I love how this card turned out.

I adhered the panel to a coral layering card stock panel and then onto a white card base. The simplicity of this card using the Bouquet of Roses stencil is awesome and will be easy to mass produce. If you haven’t joined in on the challenge, there is still time. Head on over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to link up your project.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon! Have a great day.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Mid Summer Blues

August 19, 2019

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing a quick card I made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. This challenge is to use mid summer blues and I’m so happy I played along. I finally pulled back out my Nuvo mouse from my stash and the really cool facetted stencil from Simon Says stamp to create this card.

For today’s card I used three Nuvo mousses for my color combination. I tinted the pearl white down with a little bit of alcohol ink in blue from Brea Reese. I stenciled the mousse over the faceted stencil from Simon Says stamp with a palette knife. While this panel was drying I die cut out the sending hugs sentiment from white and silver foil paper. I stacked my dies one on top of the other for dimension.

To finish off the card I layered the stencil panel on light blue card stock and then onto a white card base. I added a few matte sequin and my card was complete. I have a tutorial up using this stencil in a video I shared on my Youtube channel. Head on over and check it out.

Love the simple look of this card. Shopping list included below. It can either be sent to a female or male friend due to it’s simple color palette. Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon!
