Card 1 and 2: Build-a-Garden: Daffodil Delight
I wanted to create a no-line floral image for this card so I stamped the image using a very light ink which would not show once the stencilling had been completed. I framed the white panel with a black layer just 1/8" larger than the white panel and then added that to a yellow a@ card base. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and some Essential Black and White enamel dots added the finishing touch to this bright and happy card.
This time I used Obsidian Ink to stamp the image onto a card panel. I then used the stencil to color the image using mini ink blending tools. I then ran the panel through my die cutting machine using the organic linen 3D embossing folder to give a subtle texture to the white background and create more interest. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto some vellum using Obsidian ink and added a few iridescent gems from my stash.
Cards 3: Craft-a-Flower: Open Peony
I really enjoy using various Altenew 6x6 patterned paper packs when I use a layering die cut set. The CAF sets are a perfect example of this and for this card I used Gel Printing Soft Washes 6x6 Paper pad to die cut all the layers. This makes it a very quick way of creating a beautiful flower without the need to do any coloring! I added dimensional foam tape between each layer of the flower to add more dimension. I added lots of subtle texture to the background by using embossing paste through the Woven Stencil and leaving it to dry completely before adhering the sentiment and floral image. I added black splatters for an artsy look and some black and white enamel dots for the final touch.
Cards 4 and 5: Craft-Your-Life Project Kit: Magnolia and Blooms
My favorinte embossing powder has to be rose gold and this was my starting point for this slimline card. I then used the stencils to color the beautiful floral images onto opposite corners of the card using a dusty pink and burgundy color scheme. I matted the panel onto Brushed Rose Metallic cardstock and added that to a slimline card base from my stash.
For this card I used the matching embossing folder from the kit and then the stencils to color the embossed image. I fussy cut around the image and added it to a purple card matt with foam tape. The sentiment is from the kit too.
Card 6: Paint-a-Flower: Wood Anemone
For my final card in this hop I stamped the outline image with Obsidian black pigment ink and heat set it before coloring the whole image using Woodless Coloring Pencils. I added the panel to a Brushed Silver Metallic Cardstock A2 panel for some added shine.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you like my cards? Until next time, Happy Crafting!
