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!

Below a recap of the products I used:

Summer Flower Press Plate

Abstract Background Stamp set

Nested Scalloped Frames die set

Delicate Frame & Friend die set

Betterpress Letterpress system machine

Spellbinders New & Improved Platinum Six Die Cut and Embossing machine

Hug To You, Mom

Hi crafty friends!

After a month I returned to post a special card for my mom in heaven !  She loved the flowers and the colors and I thought about her making this.

Hope you like it!

To make my card I started by blending the Lucky Clover, the Evergreen Bough, the Cracked Pistachio, the Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks on a Neenah Solar white cardstock and then I clear embossed on it the Abstract Background stamp set. Next up I die cut it into a rectangle using the largest dotted rectangle frame die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set.

I glued it on a  4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white card base.

Next up I  stamped the flowers from the Minimalist Flowers Press Plate & die set using a light brown ink and I colored them using the Minimalist Flowers Stencil set. and the Wild honey, the Fossilised Amber, the mustard Seed, the Scattered Straw   Distress Oxide inks. I stamped and white embossed the flowers on vellum too and  then  I die cut them using the coordinate die . I glued the flowers... the vellum one first  and over  the blue green background using foam pads to add dimension.

Then I realised the sentiments : I die cut i the big Hugs sentiment from the Hello & Hugs die set: the outlined part in white and the top one in 5 layers from the blue green blended cardstock. I glued all together  and I put it on the flowers and then I added the stamped sentiment from the Abstract Background stamp set  and die cut with the Abstract Background die set.

As a last thing I added some rain drops and that's it!

Hi crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today sharing my latest card featuring the new collection by Alex Syberia Designs.

I really can't say what is my favourite product but guys!! the Beautiful Day set is absolutely amazing!

To make my card I started creating the background: I hot foiled in gold the Tiny Hearts hot foil plate on a white cardstock ,  then I die cut it using the Chevron chic Cover die and I glued the positive  and negative die cuts onto a white base card.

Next up I hot foiled  in gold the Beautiful Day Hot Foil Plate onto a White Neenah Paper , I stencilled them using the Beautiful Day Stencil set and I die cut them using the coordinate die.

At that point I glued the two floral die cuts on the background using foam tape to add dimension and as a last thing I added the sentiment : the string one is a stamp from the Beautiful Day stamp set die cut with the coordinate die and the love word is another  die cut.

That's that for today !

Hope you like my inspiration!
