Rings and splatters

Hi crafty friends,

For this card I was inspired by Janet from Swanlady Impressions. You can find her card here. Go check out her blog as she creates beautiful cards!

For my card I first stamped the woodgrain background from Viva Decor with Jellyfish Lawn Fawn Ink which is a very soft ink.

Next I masked off a part of the rings stamp because I only wanted to use 6 rings based on the Inspired By challenge. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added some color with 6 different Copic markers also based on the colors of the Inspired By challenge.

I wanted to add some extra paint splatters around the rings so I used the splatters stencil from Tim Holtz and Memento Tuxedo Black.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts with Versafine Onyx Black.

Happy Saturday!

Here's a card I created with 2 challenges in mind.

I first stamped the Multifaceted background from Winnie & Walter with Memento Tuxedo Black and randomly colored some parts with a yellow and gray Copic marker.

I then die cut the Daisy Stem from SSS and colored the outline with a darker gray Copic marker. The leaves were colored with the same yellow as the background.

Finally I added a frame and adhered the die cut sentiment from Create A Smile.

Altenew May 2020 Inspiration Challenge

Hi crafty friends!

For this card I started with the background which is inspired by the ink card swiping technique from Channin Pelletier. I've used this technique last week on this card and I love it!
This time I used Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks.

Next I used the Wallpaper Art stamp set from Altenew and the coordinating mask to stamp the flowers and leaves with Persian Blue Altenew ink. I also heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to let them shine.

Finally I did the same with the sentiment, added some blue enamel dots and adhered this panel with foam tape to the card base.

AAA Birthday Challenge #13 - Things with Wings

Hello! I hope you are all well and play along with us at AAA Birthday if you have some spare time and feel a little crafty. 
This time we want you to create a birthday card with the theme 'Things with Wings'.

 https://aaabirthday.blogspot.com/2020/05/game-13-things-with-wings.html


For my card I first stamped the toucan and leaves from Newton's Nook with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I created the background with the Tropical Leaves stencil also from Newton's Nook and 3 distress oxide inks.

Then I used the Peek-a-Boo Circle Window from MFT to die cut the circle and arranged the bird and leaves around it.
For the background of this circle I stamped the Quilted Hearts stamp from SSS with Bamboo Altenew ink.

Finally I added the sentiment which is from SSS.

Congrats!

Happy Friday!

Today I combined several challenges to create my card.

I used a stitched rectangle die to die cut this front panel.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio with Versamark and used a rose gold embossing powder to heat set this. 

Finally I used the same 2 Altenew inks to color the edges of my card base and adhered the front panel to it.
