Fall Floral card with Glazing

Hello there! Today I have a fall card using beautiful florals from the August 2019 Hedgehog Hollow kit. These florals designed by Alex Syberia are among my favorite florals ever and I keep reaching for them over and over!

Hello, Fall

I always find myself in need of Thank You cards, so I took the Thank you sentiment from the set and stamped it two times on patterned paper, then I backed it with gold glitter paper. I feel like Fall screams for gold glitter paper! Lol.

Deep, rich color

To get these deep, rich, fall colors I used alcohol markers in Pinks (yes! Pink) and yellows first. Then I used a technique called “Glazing”: I went over each floral petal with a light orange. All those colors together created this fall look! Try this glazing technique to see what colors you can get from your markers.

For the background, I used some patterned paper and it made this card come together so quickly!! I popped the top flower up with TWO layers of foam tape, and the smaller orange flower with one layer of foam tape. I love to get that dimensional look with different layers on my cards.

Watercolor Paper to create an underwater Scene

Hello! Today I was inspired by some designer paper that looks like watercolor! It came in the June 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit, and I couldn’t wait to create a scene complete with jellyfish.

I have a process video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:

I think the waves that also came in the kit (as well as the underwater images) are fantastic. I heat embossed the waves with white embossing powder, then fussy cut the top to reveal the stenciled sun rays.

All the images were colored with Copics, and fussy cut to create this underwater scene. The Hello sentiment is from my stash, and is currently a favorite of mine!

A rainbow hello!

For the sand, I used some embossing powder called “Dirty Sand” that I found at Creativation last year. It’s from Emerald Creek and I love it….it really looks like sand! I know that some other companies have since come out with a sand embossing powder, but this was the first one I had ever seen.

I’m often asked what products I’ve used on my cards, so I’ve linked them below, using affiliate links when possible. I couldn’t find the sand embossing powder that I used, so I’ve linked a couple others that I found. When you purchase using one of these links, I may receive a small commission. These help me keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. I thank you very much!

Thanks for stopping by!
