Japanese Aesthetic

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today, to share with you another card featuring the new amazing "Spring in Kyoto" collection by Spellbinders, designed by Alex Syberia Designs.

It's a very elegant release inspired by the Japanese aesthetic and you could find it at alexsyberiadesigns.com  and alexsyberiadesigns. co.uk.

To create this card , I first stamped the lovey parasols on a rose-cream cardstock using the Sand Versafine Clair ink and the Parasols Betterpress Plate.

I die cut it in a  4 1/4x 5 1/2  panel and a cover it with a  vellum rectangle,.   I then glued it on a black base card.

I continued by die cutting and assembling  the lovely fun using the Fan & Bow Etched dies ; I then used the Blossom & Sentiments Betterpress Plate & die set  to create some  blooms.  I  hot foiled in pale gold the blue and red ones and I stamped in black on cream the others.  using the Press Plate .I also  stamped,  white embossed   and die cut the "For You" sentiment from the same set.

 

  

Next up I adhered the fan,  the blooms  and the sentiment on the card using for some of them foam tape to add dimension.

I used the Kokeshi Dolls BetterPress Plate & die set and I hot foiled the beautiful Kokeshi Doll in a pale gold.  Then I coloured the image with Copic marker; I die cut it and I added the kokeshi in the card using foam tape.

To finish the card  I added some black and gold gems.

Here a recap od all products I used:

Blossom & Sentiments Betterpress Plate & die set

Kokeshi Dolls BetterPress Plate & die set

Fan & Bow Etched dies

Parasols Betterpress Plate

That's it for today!

Than you so much for stopping by

Kokeshi Doll in Kyoto

Hi crafty friends!

So excited today to show the card I made with the new Spellbinders collection with Alex Syberia Designs: Spring in Kyoto. It's a very special collection designed by Alex!!I'm a big fan of Kokeshi Dolls and I'm in love with everything about Japan so you can image how much I adore  this release !!

Here the first card I made mixing some  new products :

To make my card I started by the background ! I first, embossed a fawn rectangle using the amazing Floral Fans 3D Embossing Folder  I glued it over bigger white base card. I used a 4"x5" heavy cardstock between the base and the embossed background to add a little bit of  dimension,

Next up I stamped  the cherry blossom images on Neenah paper using the Cherry Blossoms Betterpress Plate & die setand a light pink Memento ink; I colored all with Copic markers adding some touches of Prismacolor pencils and white gel pen and I added them on the card using thin foam dots.

I continued by die cutting the Kokeshi Dolls Etches dies; I used Neenah paper to be able to color the various elements with my Copic markers and once the Kokeshi Dolls was assembled I added her on the card.

I added the sentiment I made by using the Blossoms & Sentiments Betterpress Plated & Die set. I heat embossed the thank you word in white and then I die cut it using the banner die included.

As a last thing I added some little pink flowers and some beads and that's that.

Hope you like my card and this amazing collection!

You could find it on the Alex Syberia Design Shop and on the Spellbinders shop.

See you soon with a new card.
