Red Roses and Generational Stamping

Apparently today is National Red Rose Day and I wanted to create a beautiful stamped card. I found a Altenew layered flowers stamp set on the Trash/Treasure table at a crop. I KNOW! I couldn't believe it either!

I only have one red ink pad so I used generational stamping to create shades of red for these roses. Some turned out better than others but they are all so pretty.

It's hard to see in the photos but there is some dimension on the middle front rose that was fussy cut from the sheet that I stamped.

Watch the process video to see how this card comes together. I used the MISTI for the sentiment and swirly lines. I wasn't going to take any chances with the stamping after all the work I did!

What a beautiful card for a wedding!

Rainbow Card Challenge; Violet

Today is the last day of the Rainbow Card Challenge series and featuring Violet (or purple).

I don't create with purple enough and I don't know why. It's so pretty but it just throws me off for some reason! I hope you had a chance to see all the previous cards for this series. I love that they are so different and so pretty! You can check the card playlist on my YT channel or click on the Challenge label on the lower right.

This last card was another one that I used a lot of scrap patterned papers. It was great going through my scrap pile and using so many! I created a patchwork of shades of purple patterned papers for the main feature of this card. I did some stamping, clear glitter marker all over and added bling! Love the sparkle!

Be sure to check out the process video to see all the steps for this card.

Rainbow Challenge; Yellow

Today’s rainbow challenge is YELLOW. I used a two layer stamp set from Altenew for this card. I used two different yellow inks for the flowers and two greens for the leaves. 

To add more color after stamping, I used a yellow chalk pencil on the petals. This made a huge difference!

I dipped into my yellow paper scraps for all the papers needed and then added enamel hearts and yellow splatter to complete the card.

I decided to challenge myself to make a series of cards using each color of the rainbow. I’m creating and posting them in ROYGBV order. Click on the CHALLENGE label to see the past two card posts and get the YouTube links.

Hello Love Card; CutCardStock

Hello loves! I purchased this background stamp from Altenew at least a year ago and finally decided to use it. I pulled out the Cougar Smooth White Cardstock from CutCardStock and stamped two different shades of purple.

After adding some gold splashes and a sentiment, I decided to mat this panel with Gold Glitter Cardstock also from CCS.

Originally I prepared a cardbase with the same white cardstock but decided to use Basis Dark Purple instead. What a difference! 

After doing all that, I felt like it needed something more so I added two skeleton leaves from my stash that were gifted to me from Rubber Paws (read more about her HERE) and a gold bow.

Wow! Don't you love it?! It is so unique and pretty. I can't wait to play with this background stamp some more!

April Sketch n Scrap Card #216

Sketch n Scrap posts two different layout and two different card sketches a month. It's hard to choose which one I want to work on but I knew this one would work well with a new flower stamp I recently purchased from Altenew.

Here's the sketch:

And here's my card.

The row of glitter glue dots was added because when I stamped the sentiment, the edge of the stamp had some ink on it. My oops became a part of the embellishment decision!

Products Used:

Stamp Set from Altenew

Ink from Close To My Heart in: Bubblegum, Cotton Candy, Olive

Dark Roast ink from FSJ and Certainly Celery and Moss from SU!

Versamark ink and Black embossing powder

Foam adhesive strips

All papers from my scrap bin

Glitter Glue

Be sure to link your creation using our sketches before the end of the month at the Sketch n Scrap challenge site!

 

SNS Card Sketch

I love the sketches on the Sketch N Scrap blog. This card sketch was an easy one so I tried to push myself to make it extra special 

I received this potted plant stamp free when I placed an order with Altenew.  I decided to make my own patterned paper and colored the images in using alcohol markers. I used scraps for the other blue papers. I love how it turned out.

Daffodils!

I posted a haul video on my YouTube channel a few weeks ago and I wanted to show off a card I made using a Build-a-flower set from Altenew that was part of the haul. I definitely did some retail therapy. Here's the haul video if you're interested in viewing it:

I love these sets from Altenew and I love the way these cards turned out!

You just can’t go wrong with these layered stamp sets! I love that many stamp companies are coming up with these.
