Miss You

Hello friends!  I'm sharing a card featuring some of the amazing products that Altenew generously gifted me.

These beautiful blooms are from the Fragrant Peony Layering Die Set.  I seldom make floral cards but this layering die set made this card so easy!  I die cut all the blooms and foliage from white card stock and then I inked them with Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Wild Honey, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered everything with thinned white gouache and once they were dry, I assembled flower layers.  There's an instruction sheet included with the dies that makes the assembly so easy.  I die cut the Grid Cover Die from white card stock and adhered that to my card.  Next, I adhered the flowers with foam tape and tucked the foliage behind the flowers with liquid adhesive.  I heat embossed a sentiment from the Hug Me stamp to finish my card.

Altenew has generously gifted me two $25 gift cards for a giveaway over on my Instagram account.  Hop over to IG and check it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hugs, Anita

Hug Me

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing two cards I made with some awesome products that Altenew sent me.

Both of these cute images are from the Hug Me stamp set.  I colored both images with copics and then die cut them using the coordinating Hug Me die set.  For my first card I cut a panel of white card stock and inked it with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink.  I stamped a few hearts from the stamp set with the same ink and adhered the white panel to the black card base with foam tape.  I used a black gel pen on the fox's eyes and nose and then adhered the image with foam tape.

For my second card, I used the Grid Stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to create the background of my card.  I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set on the card and then adhered the fox with balloons with foam tape.  I used a black gel pen on the fox's eyes and a white gel pen to add highlights to the balloons.

I'm having a giveaway over on my Instagram account.  Hop over and check it our for a chance to win one of two $25 giveaways!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

The Challenge #88 - Keywords

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our latest challenge over at Always Playing With Paper's The Challenge.

Our challenge this week is a "keyword" challenge and I used the lovely Peony Bouquet stamp set from Altenew.  I started my card by using distress inks to create the blue background and then flicked some water for lighter spots.  I used the Gift Box Cover-Up Die-namic from My Favorite Things to diecut the window.  I adhered some acetate and added sequins to make a fun shaker card.  I used gold embossing powder to stamp the flower and sentiment.  I used distress inks to watercolor the flowers and then diecut them using the coordinating dies.

You can use as many of the keywords to create your card as you like.  I used all of them with the exception of birthday.  Be sure to stop by The Challenge to see what the rest of the DT created this week.  I hope you find some time to play along in the challenge.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita
