Seasonal Blooms

Hello Crafty Friends,  I hope the Sun is shining you today.  I recently received a parcel from Altenew containing some gorgeous products and this floral stamp was one of the items.


This image is part of the Seasonal Blooms Craft Your Life Project Kit and this kit was so popular when it was released, it literally sold out within minutes.  I had to sign up for email notifications and still had to wait for the second wave before I could get my hands on it.

The kit contains a stamp and coordinating die set, 3-D embossing folder and a 3 part layering stencil.  For my card, I stamped the image, applied Catherine Pooler Inks through the stencil and embossed a panel with the Altenew Enchanting Vines Embossing Folder.  Enchanting Vines is not in the kit, the folder in the kit matches the floral image and I will feature a card soon that uses the folder in the kit.


I used an embossing pen and fine detail gold embossing powder to add shine to the sunflowers.  Instead if using an anti-static power tool before embossing, I let the embossing power go where it wanted and got some gold flecks here and there.  Lastly, I've added Fire Flame Pearl Mix Gems from Kat Scrappiness for additional interest.

Thinking of You and Shades of Blue

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I hope your day was great and you found some crafty time, as for me...I found some time to create a card featuring shades of Blue, Vines, Florals and Butterflies.


My card features a gorgeous stamped and die cut Butterfly from the Gina K. Designs "Beautiful Butterflies" stamp and coordinating die sets.  After heat embossing the butterflies, I added color with diluted Distress Inks.  I dry embossed an uneven snippet of card with my Brand New "Enchanting Vines" 3-D embossing folder by Altenew and lightly added Faded Jeans Distress Inks to bring out the Vine pattern even more.  

The Florals are dimensional die cuts, with 2 layers popped on foam pads along with the Butterfly wing tips.  The sentiment is from the "Beautiful Butterflies" stamp set and lastly, I added faux white pearls as a butterfly trail.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
