A Tale of Two Floral Cards

Can you tell I like flowers? LOL!

First up is a card made with the Bold Blossoms Stand Alone Die with a sentiment from Zipper Panel Die from Ellen Hutson. I used cheap watercolors to paint blobs of color where I planned to put the flowers and leaves. Then, I diecut the flowers and leaves from cream cardstock and glued them onto the card from made with watercolor paper. The next step is to glue the sentiment diecut from a scrap piece of black cardstock. All that is left to do is glue the front to a card base made from cream cardstock.

Next up is a card I made using Altenew's Vintage Roses stamp set. I stamped the innermost layer of the flowers with versamark and sprinkled gold embossing powder, then heat set it. Then I stamped all the layers of the flowers with various colors of dye ink, and fussy cut all of them. I arranged the flowers on the card front as I wanted, then stamped the leaves straight on to the card front and attached the flowers, popping the orange rose on the bottom with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from Avery Elle's So Happy Stamp set on a scrap piece of cream cardstock, then heat embossed in gold and mounted to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for passing by.

Another Card with Roses

Another card made with the Altenew Vintage Roses. I stamped the leaves on the background with Versamark then embossed with gold embossing powder.

Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenge

Pastels are the theme for the Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
I made birthday cards because I always need them.

Since Birthdays are the theme for the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, I will be linking my card there too.

Using a pre-printed card from an invitation kit, I clear embossed the sentiment Make A Wish, then painted over with some Twinkling H2O in pink, yellow and green,

I wished I would have embossed in black or brown, so that the sentiment was more visible.

Live and learn, I guess.
