Tea Cup Roses

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week. Today's card is one I made a few weeks ago when I was just having a play. I really do love making cards when they aren't for anything in particular. 

I used the Clearly Besotted English Rose stamp and Die set, and stamped them with the Altenew, Red Cosmos inks. Then I added a layer of Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen over the top.

The Leaves are from the same set and stamped with Altenew Green Fields inks.

The little cup was die cut using a Simon Says Stamp die, I used black satin card and then added a small piece of blue vellum behind the cut out centre.

The background was made using the MFT Confetti Background stamp, with Versamark ink, and then heat embossing with Cosmic Shimmer, Silver Shine, fine detail embossing powder. Then I finished the card with a Clearly Besotted sentiment die cut using a pale gold card.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you next week.

Hello - English Rose

Good morning, I hope you are having a good start to the week. I start my new job today, so a little nervous but looking forward to getting back to work, after the uncertainty of the last few weeks.

Today's card is one I made when I was having a play with ink colours and water colouring. It's one of those cards that I made just because I wanted too and not because I needed it lol. So I really enjoyed making this one.

I started with some watercolour card and our Zig Clean Colour Markers, and made a very soft watercolour background. Then I added thin score tape down the side and put some gold foil over the top.

The flowers are from the Clearly Besotted English Rose set and are stamped with Blush, Rouge, Crimson and Velvet Altenew Crisp Dye inks. The leaves are stamped with, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen and Jet Black, Altenew inks.

I arranged them on my watercolour panel and then added another strip of foil to the pink card base. 

Some double sided sticky tape and more foil was perfect to cut the Simon Says Stamp, Painted Hello sentiment with. Then I added a ton of Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen to the flowers and a few gold glitter enamel dots to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

English roses

Good morning, I hope you are all well. I'm off work today as I have to visit the dental hospital later. Urgh - I think I'd rather be at work lol. 

Anyway, today's card is one I made for a friends birthday last week. I used the Clearly Besotted set called English Roses.

I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks for the flowers and Memento inks for the leaves.

I cut them out with their matching dies and then arranged them on the front panel of a 7 x 5 card blank.

I stamped a simple sentiment from a Wplus9 set and then added Wink of Stella to give the flowers some shimmer and finished off with a few sequins.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
