Hello My Sweet Friend

Hi crafty friends,

Here's another card I made today.

I first stamped the flowers with Altenew Obsidian pigment ink and used my Zig markers to color them. I used to coordinating die to cut them out.

The background is inspired by a technique from Channin Pelletier.
I added 3 different colors of Distress Oxide ink onto my water media mat and spritzed them with water. I then used an old gift card to add color to my panel in small swipe actions and in both horizontal and vertical directions.


I adhered this panel onto my card base and stamped the sentiment from Altenew with Obsidian pigment ink.

Finally I adhered the flowers with foam squares to create some dimension.

Have A Colorful Day

Hi all!

For today's card I was inspired by the colorful Mood Board of Create A Smile.

I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out by hand.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Time To Say Thanks with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Then I used the Tiny Bubbles Stencil from Altenew and Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Sparkle Texture Paste to create the background. I love this sparkle effect!
Finally I adhered the flowers and added some colorful buttons to them.

Enjoy Your Day

Happy Easter!

Here I have a new card to share with you! My card is based on the sketch of this weeks CAS(e) This Sketch.

I searched my stash for some matching washi tape and adhered them on 4 strips of paper. I arranged them onto the card and stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts with Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

Finally I stacked the branch from The Greetery 3 times to give it some dimension and adhered it to the card.

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.

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.

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.
