Thanks For Being You

Hi crafty friends!

A new card today with my weekly inspiration for Alex Syberia Designs.

This time a card I had in mind for a while! only flowers with no coloring on a colourful background!

Here it is:

To make my card this time I started by the background...I used  alcohol inks , my Copic Various Ink, and blending solution to create it. I added some lines of glue and as it is semi-dried I added  gold foil flakes by Heidi Swapp.


I really loved the result so I didn't cover it at the beginning! but I had a card to create so I forced myself and I went on and I glued the background on a white card base.

I continued by stamping the beautiful bouquet from the Grateful For You stamp set, using Versamark ink and embossing it in gold; I die cut the flowers using the coordinate die and I glued them on the card using  adhesive foam pads to add dimension.

As last thing I added the "thanks" sentiment I made using the Thanks die set: I die cut the outlined part in gold and pink and the top one  in white!

And that's that!

You could fine the stamps and dies I used on the Alex Syberia Designs Shop.

I hope you like it!

I'm pretty happy about it !

Thank you so much for stopping by

a new floral card made with high contrasts... hope you like it




To make my card I started by die cutting twice all the parts from the Elegant Peony die set. The petals in white cardstock and the leaves in two shades of  green. I colored the white ones using Distress Oxide inks and some touch of Prismacolor pencils and as I finished I assembled the two peonies.

At that point I started to make the background.

I die cut a violet cardsotck rectangle using the bigger die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set, and I glued it on white card base, 

Next up I die cut in vellum the Floral Splendor Cove die,  and I glued it over the violet rectangle. I added over another smaller rectangle I die cut using the Nested Scalloped Rectangles die set

Over, I added all the flowers and leaves and then  I glued the sentiment I obtained using a stamp from the Avian Allure Stamp set, die cut with the coordinate dies.
