March Non- Release Spring Botanicals Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Spring has already arrived with so many beautiful blooms! Today is a bright and sunny day here after two days of rain........ I made two cards for today's hop and making me smile out loud because I know spring is already in the air YAY!

We are giving love to the Spring Botanical series!

To make this card I used the Spring Botanicals Daffodil stamp set. Since our daffodils just started blooming this week in my park, why not use this beautiful stamp and give it some love!!

I stamped the daffodil flower in Black archival ink. I paired it with the Background Blocks splatter stamp set using DI.

Then I watercolored the flower using the distressed inks.

I stamped the sentiment using black archival ink and layered it to my metallic olive green CS.

In the end, finished it off with some black sequins. Love the watercolor look!

Card 2

I used the same set in a different style for my other card.

On a piece of white CS, I stamped the image using DI. I watercolored it with the same inks and then fussy cut it for a dimensional look. To create my background, I paired it with the Mid-Century Modern Squares stencil. The mowed lawn ink is blended on the bigger white panel and the squeezed lemonade ink is blended on the small white panel to match my daffodil flower. I love the soft look I achieved on this.

The sentiment is from the same set and I finished it with some lemon and apple green sequins.

I had so much fun with these. Hope I inspired you!

Hello to all! 

Happy Saturday!

This fortnight at Cut It Up Challenges, out in the country is the theme! And my soul asked for some flowers and greenery to get spoiled for someone's Birthday!

I started by die cutting two running stitched rectangles in different sizes. On a smaller size, I stamped a bunch of flowers with a flutterby in metallic gold and watercolored them. On the right side of the corner, I played with some alcohol inks background.

On a bigger rectangle size panel too, I added some alcohol inks splotches.

Die cut some delicate flowers in rose gold mirror CS.

Stamped the sentiment on a label in metallic gold.

Some close- ups:

These stunning blossom branches in rose gold added a beautiful, botanical and modern touch to this project. 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

A little Birdie told me......

Hello to all!

Happy Thursday!

I love this sweet bird from the stamp set, so adorable! And I decided to use the leftovers of my designer papers too.

I stamped the bird image on a piece of white CS and watercolored it with liquid colors.

Fussy cut the bird with branches and blooms and colored white cutting edge with blue color.

On a stitched rectangle die panel I placed my plaid stencil and applied unicorn dreams texture paste.

Look up the close up view, so gorgeous!

I placed the bird on a checkered blue boxed PP with pop up dots.

Placed the sentiment in the brown strip.

I really love and adore this plaid pattern texture, so perfect for any occasion. All I really needed to add some droplets and I have a super pretty Birthday card!

Happy crafting!

Hello friends!

Happy Thanksgiving Day all around the World!

There is no coloring involved on the die cut flowers, just cut and paste is so much fun. I chose 3 colors deep red, bright pink and pale lavender.

Die cut a double stitched rectangle panel. Added some memento ink colors using retro circles stencil.

Added a Thankful sentiment on the blended circles. Then arranged the cluster of blooms with different leaves at the top corner.
