Nature Silhouettes

Hello and thanks for stopping in.  Nothing is more appealing to me than silhouette images set against a colorful background.  The concept for this card came to me a few nights ago and I had to sit down and make it happen today.  Does that ever happen to you?  You get an idea in your head and can't wait until you can sit down and make something with that idea?


I loosely watercolored a small background panel of watercolor card using Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks.  I've had the nature foliage dies in my stash and bring them out when I want to add fillers to floral arrangements.  This time, my idea was to let the die cuts be a focal set of images.  I die cut them from 110 lb black card for stability.


Once dried, I splattered the background with white acrylic gloss spray and the silhouettes with gold watercolor paint.  The sentiment is from the Altenew Beautiful Quotes Stamp Set.  The foliage has been adhered flat to the panel, the panel and sentiment strip have been popped on craft foam for dimention and clear sequins added for added interest.

I love this color combination and will ink blend the same 3 colors next time for a different look.  Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Coral Sunset

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is fun, relaxing and crafty!  Today's make and share features a gorgeous floral stamp, lovely sentiment, heat embossing and coloring.


My A2 sized card started with stamping the florals from the Altenew Paint-A-Flower April monthly subscription set and heat embossing with gold embossing powder.  I stamped the same image on the top and the bottom; just rotating the card in the Misti.  I colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils, stamped the sentiment. which is from the Altenew "Beautiful Quotes" stamp set and added a snippet of designer paper along the left side.  For the final bells and whistles, clear sequins were added.

Coloring the image took a bit of time but I had my cuppa tea so I settled in and enjoyed the process.  I love the look of the completed design.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
