Old dies and stamps

Hi Everybody,

Todays cards are created with a really old stamp set that has a matching die and it is from Heartfelt Creations.

I stamped and cut out lots of flowers for use in the future, but I don't know if the set is still available as I have had it for years.

I coloured them all with the Alcohol Markers from Craft Stash and I am quite pleased with the results.

I roughened up the edges of the knitted card and then added some lace underneath and along the bottom of the card.

The background for both is from Anna Marie's Knitted card and both are Dl just in different orientations.

I got the card at a bargain price at the craft show, but on the website it is the original on.

There are 36 sheets of good quality cards  in different colours for you to use in the pack.

I have since ordered some of their Damask patterned card and that should be here any day now.

I am glad that I rediscovered the stamps and dies as the flowers they make are lovely and the die cuts them all out in one go.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

 

Water Colour Wednesday - Floral Stamp

Hi Everybody,

These two cards have been created using a  Heartfelt Creations  floral stamp called Sun Kissed  Fleur.

There are other pieces to this stamp set and also a die to cut  out the larger flowers

For the background I used the Wood Pallet Background from Altenew and stamped it in brown

The flowers have been water coloured with Gansai Tambi and I added an enamel dot to the centre flower.  

The layers have been wrapped in ribbon and then added to a bright pink card base 

The Happy Birthday sentiment is one I have in my stamp collection, but they could be for any occasion you wanted.

More tomorrow ...

Water Colored Card

Hi Everybody,

Here is my latest purchase and it is Aqua Tints from Spectrum Noir and I have to say that I love them.

I have dabbled with oils and been a card maker for a good few years now but this is my latest foray into something new.

So the colors I have used on this card are from the Bright and Beautiful  Aqua Tints  and I bought them from Crafters Companion

I stamped and embossed my sentiment and then water colored over the top to give me the background.

I stamped and embossed the flowers in gold embossing powder and then used the same background colors to paint them.

The stamp and matching die set are from Heartfelt Creations and this is the Sunkissed Fleur  and I am very happy with the finished card.

It is bright and beautiful ... just as the paints I have used to create it ... and I will be playing with some of the other shades in the Aqua Tints again.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
