Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday!

I hope you're all safe and well wherever you are.
During these crazy times I've been keeping myself busy with cleaning, laundry, gardening, playing with my daughter and of course card making :)

Here I have a quick CAS card featuring the Floral Gem stamp from Reverse Confetti.
I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I put it on top of the card base where I used the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel also from Reverse Confetti.
The word Happy is from the Birthday Builder stamp set from Altenew and the word birthday is die cut twice from the Cool Cuts Birthday Triple from Create A Smile.

Magnolias For Her

Hi crafty friends,

I hope you're all safe and doing well in spite these crazy times. I'm grateful that I'm able to escape into my craft room once in a while to make some cards.

Today I made this floral card with the Magnolias For Her stamp set from Altenew. I stamped some flowers with Versamark and heat set them with gold embossing powder. I also made a mask of the flowers and leaves so that I could stamp some other flowers and leaves.
Eventually I chose 3 flowers which I colored with Copic markers. 
The sentiment is from Carlijn Design and is adhered with foam tape to give it some dimension.

AAA Birthday Challenge #12 - Dots and/or Stripes

Hello there! I hope everyone is staying well and safe during this Corona Virus outbreak. Things are scary out there so I hope this will pass soon!
The good thing about this is that we now have much more time to craft :)

So I challenge you to join AAA Birthday this month and create a card with dots and/or stripes.

We have Barbara (Foldzik) joining us as our guest. Don't forget to check out the gorgeous card she created and join us at the challenge. Also check the amazing cards created by the Design Team.

I wanted to create a striped background with loose stripes so I used a Black Ecoline Brush pen en drew some lines.

Next I created the dotted background with Altenews Dainty Swiss Dots stamp and heat set this with white embossing powder.

I die cut and layered the sunflower from SSS 3 times for some dimension.
I left the leaves and the middle of the flower white and colored only the petals of the flower with Copic markers.
I really love this black/white/yellow color combination.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Circle Sayings with Versamark en heat set this with white embossing powder. I adhered it with foam tape to also create some dimension.




Supplies
- SSS - Sunflower Stem
- Altenew - Dainty Swiss Dots
- Versamark
- White embossing powder

- Black Ecoline Brush Pen
- Copic markers: Y06, Y08, Y15

Happy Sunday!

Here I have a new card to share with you today!

First I added some Nuvo Shimmer powders on a piece of water colored paper and spritzed it with water. I let it dry for some time and used the feather die from Your Next Stamp to cut out the feathers. I really love the shimmer effect they have!

I added some gold splatters to the background and arranged the feathers on the card base.

Finally I used a pierced circle die to cut out the golden circle. The sentiment is from Create A Smile. I used foam tape for this circle to create some dimension.

Almost 3 weeks of quarantine

Hi crafty friends!

How are you doing? It's been almost 3 weeks of quarantine here in Belgium and I can't be more thankful for my craft room and card making to keep me busy.
Today I created this sympathy card.

I wanted the lilies to be as soft as possible so the first layer I actually didn't stamp. The second layer is stamped with Altenew Blush ink and the third one with Altenew Rouge ink. The last layer is stamped several times with the same Rouge ink and this makes the middle of the flowers more darker.

For the leaves I used Firefly, Grass Field and Shadow Creek Altenew ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut the flowers and the leaves.

For the gray background I used gray cardstock and stamped the Leaves and Berries background from SSS with Versamark and heat set this with White satin pearl embossing powder.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Finally I adhered the card front to the card base and I adhered the flowers with foam tape for some dimension.
