Shimmery Flowers

For the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 513, I wanted to try my new Cosmic Shimmer Watercolors. These colors are so amazing! They’re rich and have a gorgeous shimmer. 


I have the Antique Shades set, which has some really pretty greens, mauves, and purples, so I thought a flower bouquet stamp would work well. Here’s the finished card.


After embossing the stamp in gold on watercolor cardstock, I painted it using the Cosmic Shimmer set and buffed it a bit with a microfiber cloth to uncover the embossing. I then die cut it using a stitched rectangle.  

I had a leftover piece of cardstock that I had blended completely over with Tsukineko Brilliance ink in Galaxy Gold and then decided not to use. However, I thought it would work well for this project, bringing out the embossing, so I die cut it with a larger stitched rectangle. 

Once I attached the flower card at an angle using a Tombow tape runner (I like the pink one), I trimmed off the excess and attached it to a dusty rose card base.  I then added some pink rhinestones and a small sentiment. I’m thinking I’ll change out the black sentiment strip with a white one once I get some made up.

The whole thing is so shimmery & pretty! I’m also going to enter it in the Simon Says: Anything Goes Wednesday challenge & the The House That Stamps Built  - Anything Goes Challenge ~ O2820.

Hydrangea Highlight

The second card I made today was specifically for the  Altenew March 2022 Inspiration Challenge , although I used Colorado Craft Company stamp for it. I had pulled out their Big Hydrangea stamp set to use a sentiment from it so just used the hydrangea part for this. Here is the inspiration picture from Altenew. I went with the colors for this card, as close as I could get, and did a sort of color blocking effect. I’ve seen it before on other cards and thought it looked nice and easy. I started by stamping the hydrangea in black ink on a 4-1/4” x 6” piece of white cardstock. After masking off the edges with low tack tape (I actually used blue painters tape) I masked off the bottom third of the center and blended on Distress Oxide Peeled Paint, masked off the middle portion and used DO Mustard Seed, and used DO Milled Lavender on the top. Using a script Happy Birthday die, I cut it 3 times in white and once in black. After gluing all 3 white pieces together I glued the black piece on th

Candy Cane Deluxe

For the  Simon Says: Food and/or Drink challenge , one of the examples had a candy cane , so I thought I’d use some too. I just got a pine tree frame die & it would be perfect for that. I could make it look like a tree with candy canes & an ornament. Here’s how it turned out: I used my Cricut to cut the candy canes, ornament, some extra pine sprigs, & the Merry Christmas. The frame was die cut, and I used a scrap of green print cardstock for the backing. I embossed the Merry Christmas in black, then put everything together on a green card base. Thanks for stopping by!

Red & White

Image
For the  Simon Says: Red White and/or Blue challenge I decided to stick with red & white since I saw this card that I wanted to use for my inspiration, using white instead of gold. I used Distress Oxide Black Soot to blend around the edges, since it’s an ink that blends easily. I used the Gina K Holiday Tapestry stamp for the background, the label is from the Stampin’ Up Painted Labels die set, and the sentiment from the Colorado Crafts Big Hydrangea set. It’s not as elegant, but did turn out pretty, didn’t it? I’m also going to enter it in the The House That Stamps Built Theme Challenge J3021 ~ Red, White and Blue and the Simon Says: Anything Goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by! Sandy
