Altenew Rose Reverie Birthday Card

-




Hello, today I'm sharing a birthday card I created with these products from Altenew:

  • Rose Reverie Outline Stamp Set, Die and Simple Coloring Stencil Set
  • Splendid Bouquet Stamp and Die Sets
  • Trellis Stencil
  • Blush Rose and Strawberry Fresh Dye Inks
  • Moss, Olive and Bamboo Fresh Dye Inks
  • Arctic Mountain, Winter Lake, Icy Water and Polar Bear Fresh Dye Inks
  • Winter Lake Cardstock
  • Northern Shore Enamel Dots

I stamped the floral image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an A2 size piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb. cardstock.  Using the coordinating stencil set, I ink blended the petals and leaves with the Fresh Dye Inks, concentrating the darker colors at the base of each petal and leaf, and blending out to the light colors.

To add some additional dimension, I added shading with Prismacolor Pencils, mostly at the base of the petals and leaves.  For the petals I used Hot Pink and Deco Pink pencils.  For the leaves I used Moss Green.  Once I was happy with the floral image I die cut it out with the coordinating die.

To create the background, I ink blended the Icy Water and Polar Bear Fresh Dye Inks on another piece of Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock using the Trellis Stencil.  I kept the lower left corner darker and blended out to the Polar Bear ink in the top right corner.  I trimmed the panel down to 4.125" x 5.375" and adhered it to a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of the Winter Lake Cardstock.

For the sentiment, I stamped "happy birthday" from the Splendid Bouquet Stamp Set with the Arctic Mountain ink on a piece of Neenah cardstock.  Then I stamped it again with Versamark Watermark Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I cut it out with the coordinating die.  

I adhered the sentiment with thin foam strips and added seven enamel dots from the Northern Shore pack to finish off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box Cauldron Witch

  Hello!     Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card I created with the Cauldron Witch and Fancy Gate Globe Dies from Memory Box.   To create the gate, I sprayed some Iron Gate Distress Mica Stain on a piece of black cardstock.  After it was dry I used the Fancy Gate Globe Die from Memory Box to cut it out.  Note: I used a lightweight black cardstock for the gate.  I recommend using a heavier weight cardstock so the gate won't be flimsy.   For the wall background I cut a piece of light gray cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375”.  I used the “Small Brick Wall” stencil from My Favorite Things and ink blended some Lost Shadow Distress Ink on the gray cardstock.   I adhered the gate to the cardstock wall, about .5” up from the bottom.  I used Eclipse Masking paper to mask off the sides and I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to give the appearance of a path leading up to the gate.  I also put the stencil down again ...
