For this month's challenge over at
The Scrapbook Boutique Blog,I started with two ideas(as usual - just in case)...but while I was making my first card,I left my supplies out coz I had another idea pop up in my head...so after I made my second card,I started the third one which took just under 10 mins to create...
This is the moodboard for this month and I loved creating cards for the pink and gold theme..
For my first card I die cut the front panel from watercolour cardstock...I then used the Altenew watercolor strips stencil to create the background for my card...once dry,I adhered this panel to a plain white card base...
On a separate piece of white card cardstock,I stamped the flower and leaf images using picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink and then heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder...I then used my water brush and coloured in the images with the same shade of Distress Oxide ink I used for stamping...I did not want to use green for the leaves and stems so I used nuvo mousse to colour them gold...
After I die cut all the images,I adhered them onto my card front...I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a small label and adhered it just above the flowers...and finally,to embellish my card I have used lots of Nuvo jewel drops...
I have a whole lot of Azaleas in full bloom in my garden these days and my favorite one is the deep pink one which I can see from my craft room window..
My second card has a paisley gold embossed background...these stamps are from Simon Says Stamp Henna Patterns stamp set and I have coloured them in using a light pink aquarelle brush pen and my water brush..I have used picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink to lightly sponge the edges of my front panel and then adhered it to the card base...
For the sentiment I die cut the words 'wish' and 'big' from gold foil cardstock as well as pink craft foam using two different die sets and adhered them onto my card front..and to embellish my card I have used gold star sequins...
While I was writing this post,I \noticed that the dot of the 'i' has rolled over in the second picture...thankfully it was still in the card so I could adhere it back...
Now to my third card...it was inspired by the image of the pink teacups with the gold rims in the moodboard..and since this idea came to me while I was making the first card,I used all the same supplies for it...
I cut a watercolour cardstock panel for the card front and sponged in the edges using picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink...I spritzed some water for effect and then splattered some nuvo mousse,making sure to leave the centre part of the panel clear for the sentiment and the tea cup...
I stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink and heat embossed it using gold embossing powder and then adhered this panel to a white card base...
On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped the teacup with picked raspberry oxide ink and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder...I used the same ink and gold mousse to colour in the image and then cut it out and placed it under the sentiment using adhesive craft foam..
This card did not need any embellishments so I used my Spectrum Noir glitter pen over the teacup iamge for a bit of shine...
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and going through my very long blog post...Hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead...!!
