6 x 8 Stamp Set

Die Set

Simple Coloring Stencil Set

3D Embossing Folder

I am sharing two cards today. The first one is simpler, and I have begun stamping the beautiful, large floral image with Silver Lake Ink onto some ivory cardstock, then running it through my die cut machine with the 3D Embossing Folder.

Using the Simple Colring Stencils. I used Gentleman's Gray Crisp Dye Inks with the Mini Blending Brushes and the Detail Blending Brushes to add the color.

I heat embossed a sentiment onto some velum from the Fresh Cut Florals Stamp Set.

Adhered them to a dark khaki card base and added some details with a pen from the Fine Liner Pen Set, and added some Satin Gold Sequins.

For the second card, I began by stamping the Fragrant Floral Stamp in Permanent Black ink onto some Neenah white cardstock and running it through the die cut machine with the 3D Embossing Folder. Using the Simple Coloring Stencils, the Mini blending Brushes, and the Detailed Blending Brushes with Mountain Mist, Emerald, Cloudy Sky, Dark Night, Silver Stone, Pure Graphite, Icy Water, Winter Lake, Coral Bliss, and Vineyard Berry. Then I used the Die Cut to cut it out.

For the background of this card, I took another panel of Neenah white cardstock and white heat embossed several of the sentiments from the set all over the card in small amounts at a time, holding the die cut over the top so I could see where I needed more of them. Then I blended some Icy Water and Winter Lake ink in areas over the heat embossing. I adhered the Die Cut to the background panel and adhered it to a blue card base. Finally, added some details with a Fine Liner Pen (dots on the background as well) and a white gel pen. 

I hope you have enjoyed the cards and these inspire you try something new.

Make Today Amazing!
