More Floral cards

 Hi all... I've got a couple of floral cards to share today.  I made these with new stamps from Senz... - just haven't had time to post yet.  

First one 

This card uses the embossing folder from Altenew Silk Art Craft Your Life Project Kit as well as the matching stencils.  I embossed and lightly inked around the background before using blue and green inks to colour up the embossing.  I added some Nuvo glimmer past over the darker layers of the blues.  The sentiment is from the stamps that are part of the kit.    Added some white gauche paint splatters and matted onto a pale blue metallic card base. 

I'm entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Emboss it 

and my second one used Fairy Tale Florals from Altenew

  I stamped the image onto some mixed media paper and then used my New Nuvo Shimmer powders as watercolours to colour the image.  Once it was dry I used the matching dies to cut it out.  I used Altenew Organic Linen folder to embossed a background.  Added a die cut sentiment and a little white embossed sub sentiment.  Added some black sequins to finish.

Today was a stunner here in Auckland.... full of sunshine - a lovely late winter day. 

I took my lunch time cup of soup out and sat on the part of the new deck that hubby has laid and looked out over the back yard.   It was delightful and a nice way to spend my break.  It's awesome that my team lead has allowed me to work from home this week while I'm still not 100%

WCC #331 Marsha's Special 3 - Week Challenge - Anything Goes

 It's time for a 3 Week special at Watercooler Wednesday  - Marsha is our hostess with an Anything Goes challenge. 

Today I'm sharing a card I made using with Altenew's Craft Your Live Project Kit - Hello Beautiful.

This kit has stamps, colouring stencils, dies and a 3D embossing folder.  Today I used the stamp, colouring stencil and dies.   Originally I was going to make this a one layer card... but got blending smudges so ended up die cutting the flower.  I used a doodle frame technique I saw on a video recently.  It really gives it a whimsical look.   I added some glossy accents to the flower centres.

WWC312 - Helen's Challenge: All About Occasions

 Hi there it's time for another challenge at Watercooler Wednesday this week.  Helen is our hostess with an All About Occasions challenge, 

Today I have a slimline card to share. 

I had found some card bases at Spotlight that are slimline - for my panel I used rubberbands on a long block and some Altenew inks in soft pinks and purples.  I then stamped and layered the Our Friendship Blooms Stamp and Die - using the inked layers and also adding the base layer with the matching stencil before die cutting it out.   I also diecut the Deco frame from silver glitter card.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
