yellow-pink-green

I made a card to play along with the Atenew May 2022 Inspiration Challenge. It is a yellow-pink-green color theme: perfect for a floral thank you card.             

I first stamped one of the beautiful peony bouquets from the Precious Peony Stamp Set as the background, then I used Crown Bloom Stamp Set for the flower and the leaves. The sentiment was from the Needlework Motif Stamp Set. 

I am also playing along with the CASology Week 403 Challenge: Botanical.

I made a few little cards for the kids. I ink blended the backgrounds using a stecil. Then I stamped pandas and die cut the pandas using the matching die cut and adhered them on the cards. The pandas were from an old stamp set from Mama elephant Pandamonium. I think they are cute and kids loved the cards!

 Here are some close ups.

Sweet Yellow Flowers

The flowers from Altenew's Dearest Friend Stamp Set were so sweet and the color yellow made the flowers even sweeter! I usually wouldn't use yellow as the main color for my card, but I had to say that the color yellow really is a fresh, lovely color for the flowers.

I decided to use the smaller flower arrangement from the stamp set. But before I stamped the flowers, I first glued a 4.25"x5.5" white cardstock on the front of the yellow card base. After that, I die cut a window using the matching die cut on the card front, and then using the window as a guide to stamp the flowers on the inside of the card. The flowers were colored using colored pencils and the sentiment on the card front was from the same set.

When you opened up the card, you can see the flowers on the inside.

Yellow Flower Sympathy

I made a sympathy card for a friend. 

I heat embossed the big flower from Altenew's Inked Flora Stamp Set with white embossing powder, then painted the flower yellow and the background gray. The sentiment was heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

Here is a close up.

Purple Love

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I finally had a chance to use the newly brought love die cut to make a card for my dear friend. I first masked an area on my card front and then ink blended a background using a stencil, I then added the greeting on the middle of the ink blended area.

Here is a close up. 'Love' was die cut three times and stacked together. This is a quick and easy card to make.

I have been playing with the cute doggy die set from Spellbinders. Oh! I had so much fun! Here are a few cards I made with this die set. I hope my friends who received these cards will like them. Which little doggy do you like the best?

Sketched Christmas Tree

It's hard not to like a clean and simple Christmas card! And I am in love with this one. I used the Sketched Evergreen Stamp Set from Altenew to make this pretty card. I stamped this gorgeous tree using VersaMark Ink and then heat embossed using gold embossing powder. I chose a big and bold cream sentiment and used a gold border on the right to finish up the card.

You Are Delightful

I love the colors from the Altenew November Inspiration so much that I just made another card using the colors again.

I used the flower and leaves from Altenew's Beautiful Heart Stamp Set. I only stamped the two layers for the flower and leaves and didn't stamp the outlines for them. I think it is more interesting without the outlines. The sentiment was form one of my favorite Altenew's stamp sets, the Inked Floral Stamp Set which has not only the beautiful big and bold flowers, but also lots of lovely sentiments.

Here is the card. Hope you like it. Thank you for visiting.

Crown Bloom Thankful

The beautiful flowers from Altenew's Crown Bloom Stamp Set are so much fun to play with. Here, I stamped and die cut two flowers and a couple of leaves using the colors from the Altenew November Inspiration. The spotted background was inked green with Halftone stencil also from Altenew.

Bamboo Rose Thank you

Hello, I made a thank you card using Altenew's Filament Rose Die Set. I love these big, bold and pretty roses. I first die cut the roses from white watercolor paper and water colored them using pink for the roses and yellow for the leaves. The navy background card base was stamped with Rustic Linen Stamp Set using navy ink.

Gorgeous Rose

It has been a busy summer! I finally got some time to make a card using Altenew's August inspiration challenge's gorgeous cue card and great color combination this month with my favorite colors!

Here is my card.

I used color pencils to color the big mega succulent from the Mega Succulent Stamp Set, but I like to color it with all the pink, purple, and magenta and the likes to make it a rose, my favorite flower. Isn't it gorgeous? The rose was stamped with antique linen distress ink so the lines can be hidden as much as possible after I colored it with colored pencils, but I can still see the lines here and there. Maybe I'll use a light pink ink instead next time.

Here is a close up. 

The sentiment is from Happy Holidays Stamp Set. It is a great stamp set with lots of holiday sentiments, but I used the one says "wishing you lots of joy, love, and happiness" that I think can be used year round for lots of other occasions.

Needlework Grateful

Another thank you card was made. We can never have too many thank you cards to give out, right?

Using the inspiration challenge picture and the pretty Needlework Motif Stamp Set from Altenew, I made a simple CAS card. The Flower and leaves were very detailed and elegant, so I didn't use too many fancy embellishments here and only did a little shading with my watercolor to show off the detailed flower and leaves. 

The sentiment was from Altenew's Story of Us stamp set, another favorite of mine.

Here is a close up.

Flowers For You

I made a floral card using Paper Smooches' Blossoming Buds stamp set. I heat embossed the flower clusters repeatedly and then I used watercolor to color them. A simple sentiment was chosen to finish up this card.

Cute Bunnies

I tried no line coloring after watching Kristina's tutorial. Her cards were so perfect, and mines were nowhere near hers, but I was still glad that I made this card following her tips. I think I definitely need more practice by making more cards like this one! 

The two cute bunnies are from  Lawn Fawn's Upon A Star stamp set. I liked how the bunnies looking up the sky. I also liked the heart and the "I love you" message written among the stars. I am giving this card to my mom for Mother's day. 

Here is close up. The two bunnies were fuzzy cut and foam taped to the card.
