I Wish You Happy Birthday

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing with you my  card featuring the Lenten Rose Para-dies from the latest release.

To make the card I  first,  die cut the Lenten Rose on a acetate sheet to use as stencil to trace the image on a watercolour paper.

Then I watercolored the flowers using my Schmincke  Horadam  Acquarell and I glued the colored rectangle on a white card base.

Over the  watercolored image I  added  3 white layers of the  Lenten Rose die cut.

 

As a last thing I added the sentiments: the big one is made using Gilded Expression stamp set and Gilded Expression coordinate die and the string one is from the Moments Hello stamp set.

Here a recap of the products I used:

A2 Lenten Rose para-dies

Gilded Expression stamp set

and that's it!

Hope you like it and hope you would join us at our Instagram hop @nicolettaporcu.design.

I lightly ink blended the base card center using  the Speckled Egg Distress ink and then I sprayed  over some pink and white ink.

Next up I framed in white the background using the Frame-Whorty Meraki Background A2 die cut and I glued it on the card using foam tape to add dimension.

At that point I added all the images I previously colored and die cut. I glued some blue leaves in the base card and the main image composed by flowers and songbird on the frame using foam glue dots,

Starry Night - Crafty Meraki IG hop

Hi crafty friends!

New week, new card! It's time for the third IG hop to celebrate the new Crafty Meraki release, and this is the card I made for the occasion. Hope you like it!

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.

It's really simple to make and so fun!

At this point I glued the colored background over a white base card.

Next up I die cut the top card using the A-2 Starry Night para-dies; I die cut two layers I glued together and then I glued I over the alcohol ink background.

I continued by die cut the big Hello sentiment using the Hello Moments para-dies. I die cut the base in three white layers and the top one in a gold metallic cardstock. 

Once the sentiment is assembled I glued it on the card's center and as a last thing I added some white flowers to doubled the Starry Night cover.

I hope you like it!

I'm pretty happy about it !
