It's Your Time To Bloom

Hi crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing with you my latest card with you!

As I saw the new Alex Syberia Designs collection the Urban Blooms die attract me and I tested it immediately on a white cardstock and saw the beautiful results .

So this time I picked up that test and I made my card! Hope you like it!

But now let me share some making process info:

As a last thing I used the  Urban Blooms die on a white cardstock and wit a small blender brush I colored in pink all the flowers and in the back I glued some pieces of yellow cardstock under  the flowers' center corrisponda,

Next up I embossed  and die cut my acqua background using the Meadow Cover die, I cut out a circle in the top of it using the Nested Circle Stitched die set and I placed it  to frame the  Urban Blooms making the flowers pop up from it.

 

At that point I die cute a white quilted rectangle using the the biggest die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set 

and i glued it slightly offset,  under the acqua rectangle,  in a way that's in the left of the rectangle all the pierced part was visible.

I continued by adding a yellow frame on the flowers circle spot; I obtained it using the two circle dies  from the Nested Circle Stitched die set.

I wanted more flowers in the circle spot so I die cut some using the Meadow Cover die; first I blended them with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide and then  I added them all around the big flowers.

Before adding the last thing I glued the top card obtained on a white cardstock base.

At that point I added the sentiments ; the big Bloom die  cut (the top part in dark brown and the outlined one in white) and the little sentiment from the Grateful For You stamp set I die cut using the coordinate die Grateful For You die set.

As last touched I added Glossy accents on the yellow  flowers spots  and some clear rain drops.

Here all products I used:

Let me talk now about the card I made for the occasion:

I create my scene with Pages mixing the  lovely Citrouille stamp set with the fence included in  the  Button, Teacup and Truffle stamp set.

I printed it on X-Press blending paper and I colored everything with Copic markers, 

Next up I masked the image and I add some blue and green blending touches using Distress inks.

At that point I doubled the rectangle image with a yellow cardstock an I glued it in the center of a a white base card.

I framed it with a wooden embossed cardstock I glued on the card using foam tape to add dimension to give the idea  of a frame card.

As a last thing I simply added the string sentiment who is a part of the Citrouille stamp set .

That's that !

BeLeaf In Yourself

Hi crafty friends I'm here , today , with a new card to share with you!

You probably have  already seen , the new collection "Grateful For You"  is all about selfcare mixed with autumn accents and it is with these  products I create a my card!

To make my card I started by hot foiling in white a light pink cardstock using the Tiny Autumn Leaves Hot Foil Plate; next up I die cut it using the biggest rectangle from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it on a smallest cardboard rectangle and then  on a white base card creating a white outlined border.

Next up I die cut the  leaves using the Autumn Leaves die set on a Neenah paper and I colored  the thick part of them applying Distress Oxide inks (Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade)  with a  blending tool; The outlined top parts are die cut in white and in vellum.

I glued all the leaves' parts together and then I added them  on the top center of the card using foam tape on those outlined in white.

I continued by hot foiling in rich  gold  and die cutting  the sentiment with  the BeLeaf In Yourself Hot Foil plate & die set.

I glued it under the leaves and as a last touch I added some gold sequins by Spellbinders.

And that's it! Hope I give you some inspirations about the use of these amazing products.

You could find everything in the Alex Syberia Designs Shop.
