Hope Blooms

By on April 10, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hi, today I have a soft and beautiful floral card to share with you. I just got a new stencil that I love and I decided to dry emboss it first, then add some color using distress ink and a little colored pencil.

Isn’t this a glorious flower? Here is another photo where you can see the embossing:

Sometimes I just need to to make a flower come alive with color! “Where flowers bloom, so does hope” is from the Peony Spray stamp set from Altenew. This stencil, called Poppy Bloom is also from Altenew and was perfect for today. So pretty, and the soft coloring was just like a hug for me. Hope on a card!

I hope you enjoyed this sweet and hopeful project today.

Wishing a very Happy 4th Birthday to Altenew!!

Mistletoe Greenery

By on November 15, 2017 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a beautiful stamp to share with you…it’s called Mistletoe from Altenew and it is so fun to play with! It is a multi-layer stamp set, so you can use a variety of ink colors to make a beautiful image (no coloring required).

I have discovered my favorite green inks so far: the lighter green is Chirp Chirp from Waffle Flower, and the darker green ink is Fern from Simon Says Stamp. I am sure I will be using this combination many times this holiday season!

I added the red berries using Distress Oxide ink and added some shading with Prismacolor Pencil. Then I used the JOY die cut from My Favorite Things to cut out a red glitter paper sentiment. I love how this came together.

I love the holiday season and I hope to get a lot of cards made this year. Do you send out holiday cards?
