Jingle Bell Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today to share my latest card  with you!

Since here we are suffering a weather with very hight temperature I'm already dreaming about Christmas so I show you my "Christmas in July" card made using Alex Syberia Designs  products!

Hope you like it

To make the card I started by die cutting the rectangle  top panel from a dotted patterned paper, using a die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set

I stamped over  it the sentiments and the little trees using the Christmas Sentiments stamp set and then I die cut all the elements from the Jingle Bell Joy die set. I used red cardstocks for the bells and green ones for the leaves! I assembled and glued everything under the stamped sentiment  and I added the cream Pretty Bow die on the bells.

Next up I added on the bottom of my panel the banner sentiment relized using the Christmas Sentiments stamp set and  Christmas Sentiments die set ; I glued it using foam pads to add dimension.

At that point I die cut a the Postage Stamp cover die in a dark green and I glued it over a craft base card, I added the decorated top paned using and heavy cardstock between the layers to add a little bit of dimension and as a last thing I added two little metallic red stars to give a touch of color  between the stamped sentiments.

That's it!!

Ghost Sentiment On Summer Flower

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  here,  today, sharing  a new card with you, featuring the Summer Flower Press Plate  and the "ghost" sentiment technique.

To make my card I started by placing  the Summer Flower Press plate  on  Betterpress Letterpress system machine and  lightly inking it with a black archivial ink. Then I run the Betterpress "sandwich" on my Platinum 6 die cut machine to transfer the image on the watercolour paper.

Next I watercolored the summer flowers using the Schmincke  Horadam watercolours  in many shades of green and I traced the  floral's outline using a  black pen.

Once the coloring dried I die cut the Floral image  into a rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and then I  stamped the black sentiments, from the Abstract Background Stamp set,   on the Summer Flower petals.  I got the idea from my friend Sylvie @Kaliscard.

Next up I continued making the Ghost or Eclipse Sentiment!

I die cut the "friend" sentimet, from the Delicate Frame & Friend die set,  directly above the colored flower creating a hidden on it and I glued it on white base card.  Then I die cut 4 other "friends" from a black cardstock and I glued them on the hidden spaces putting at the top the colored one I die cut from the colored flower.

In this way the die cut ghost  sentiment pops out .

I added some white gel pen touch and that's it!
