Poppy Field

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  here today with a new card !

This is the time for the Cindy Lou's Poppies stamps set! I absolutely loved them!

But let me show you the card and let me know what do you think about!!

As a first thing I stamped the "Cindy Lou's Poppies" stamps set on X-Press Blending Card and I colored all the images with Copic markers. As I finished with coloring I die cut them using the "Cindy Lou's Poppies" die set and I put all aside.

Here the Copic colors I used:

R29/R27/R24/R22/R21/BG78/BG72/BG75/BG70/BG18

Then I started to work on the background blending some shades of Distress Inks Oxide on white cardstock. Once the desired result is achieved I sprayed the water  and as it was dried some splatters of black ink.

I used the following Distress Oxide inks:

Mermaid Lagoon

Peacock Feather

Evergreen Bough

Speckled Egg

 Using a piece of heavy cardstock I adhered the blended background on my white card base (to give a little bit of dimension) and I continued adhering the poppies I previously colored . To add dimension for some flowers I used the foam pads in two differtent thickness .

As last thing I added the sentiment "Hugs" and some matt black pearl.

That's it!!

Hope you like the card !

have a great week!

Sending Hugs

Hi crafty friends!

another inspiration card today featuring the Alex Syberia Designs' products.

As you can see, this time I chose the craft/white and gold color combo ! Hope you like it as much as I do!

I  begun by die cutting  my background panel using  the Floral Lattice die; I die cut it two times and  I glued them together to add dimension and then I glued it on my white base cardstock.

I stamped the flowers from the Spring Garden stamp set onto  vellum and heat embossed them in white. I then die cut it with the coordinating Spring Garden die. To add more opacity I die cut one more time the flower shape. I went ahed gluing them on the card using some little dots of adhesive.

The sentiment "hugs" is from the "Love and Hugs" die set. the bottom layer was cut one time from white foam and  the top one from a gold heat embossed cardstock ( I used the WOW embossing powder "metallic polished gold") and the strip sentiment is from  "Expressing Gratitude " stamp set.

I complete my card adding some little gold rhinestones on the flowers.

I really like how my card turned out and hope you like it too.

Thanks for reading me,

See you the next week!

Classic Foliage to say thanks

Hi crafty friends!

Today I share with you a new card featuring the new products from the "Thank You For Being My Friend"!

What a best way to start the week! isn't it?

The "Classic Foliage" die set and the "Expressing Gratitude" stamp and die set are some of my favorite products  and I enjoy the making process!

I die cut many some foliage in different cardstock colors and I glued them on my white base card; once finished I stamped the "Expressing Gratitude" stamp  set  and I embossed it with the pink WOW embossing powder. I cut out a rectangle to glued over the foliage.

I added the Thanks sentiment  die-cut using the Large Thanks Die Set. I cut the top layer from white foam and the base ones  from heavyweight gold cardstock.

I stamped the "Expressing Gratitude" stamp  set  in black too , and I die cut all the sentiment using the Expression gratitude die set  adding on of them on my card.

Some gold rhinestone  complete the card.

And that's that! so simple !
