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.

Hi friends!

I hope you are all healthy!

I spent this day in the garden and did some weeding. I love it when the sky is blue and the sun is shining!
