Tiny's Gerberas

Good morning all, I hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. 

Today's card is one I made using another of the Marianne Design stamp sets that I won a few weeks ago. This one is called Tiny's Gerberas.

I started by stamping the flowers a few times on plain white card using Altenew inks from the Warm and Cosy set. Then I added the stems using the Altenew Tropical Forest ink set.

Once they were all stamped I cut the whole bunch out by hand as one image and then added them to a white panel cut with an Avery Elle Stitched Wonky Ellements die.

I used a plain orange card blank to lay it on and then cut an orange banner from the same Avery Elle set and placed it over the bottom of the stems. Then I cut a sentiment using a Simon Says Stamp die called Painted Hello and some fun foam for dimension.

Then I inked the word with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink, and added a scattering of orange sequins to finish the card off.

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.
