More time in the craft room recently :) yay!!
Another selection of cards for my swap group.
For May, we swap 2 cards of our own choice ...... easy right? I was happy to make a start on the cards early in the month, but things got in the way and the cards were delayed in getting to their partner.
Anyway, here are my cards.
Card#1
This is an Altenew stamp & die set - Wild Flora (2020) - flowers were
stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed with Zing Clear
embossing powder. I hand painted the flower & leaves using Altenew
Inks.
I
made the background using a stencil with a blending brush and
lightly blended using Altenew Ink in the centre. When mounting the
background onto the matt, I thought it got a little lost, so I ink
blended the edges as well, and added a few splatters. I then die cut
the sentiment twice from black and layered onto the background.
The background was cut using Waffle Flower A6 layer dies and layered onto an A6 300 gsm White Cardbase.
The flowers and leaves were then positioned on
the front in a pleasing manner with foam tabs to add dimension.
Linking this card with a few challenges
Retro Rubber Challenge #257 - Stamp set from 2020 - using right column Stencil, coloring, die cut
Card#2
I came across some elements set aside from a previous crafting session and thought it was perfect for the swap. Flowers were
stamped with White ink, and heat embossed with White embossing powder, then the flower & leaves were ink blended using brushes.
The
flower element was mounted onto a gorgeous die-cut that I received in a
Swap many years ago, then
that was mounted onto the purple handmade paper,
which in turn, has been mounted onto the white A6 300gsm white cardbase.
Sentiments 'thanks' (from Honey Bee Stamps Bitty Buzzwords) was die cut
from black & white, layered & mounted with 3d foam
dots to background. 'so much' (from Honey Bee Stamps Miss You Big time)
was stamped in StazOn black onto white cardstock scrap pieces, then
mounted onto front of card.
