Hi everyone, it's Esther here and I've got some sad news... I'm stepping down from regular slots with the Seven Hills DT due to work commitments. I'll still be hanging around and guest designing occasionally, though!
Today I've got a simple floral hugs card using Altenew Extra Special, a stitched square panel from Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Square Stackables and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.
Thanks for all your lovely comments while I've been here, and I hope to see you again soon.
Hi everyone, it's Esther here with a card using Altenew Extra Special and Kraft card stock for a warm, neutral look.
I know I've become a bit obsessed with this stamp set (it's something about those vintage lines!) and I promise to move on to something different next week ;-)
For this card, I stamped the main floral image and its layers using water-based dye inks, and die cut it out using the matching dies.
I then stamped a background panel using My Favorite Things Distressed Stripes Background Stamp and Versamark on Kraft and die cut it out using one of the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangles.
I mounted this panel onto a wider white card base, and added the word "wonderful" from Concord and 9th Wonderful Words Die using white card stock and white fun foam for dimension. I tucked "you're" underneath stamped from Mama Elephant Labeled Messages. I then added the floral die cut, letting it pop off the side and top of the card slightly for a looser and more informal look.
That's all for this week - thanks for visiting and have a great few days until we reach the weekend!
Hi everyone, hope you're having a good week. It's Esther here with a floral card using Altenew Extra Special. This is a lovely set that has a slightly vintage feel in the thick, sketched lines of the leaves and stems. The main image is a gorgeous floral spray, but I wanted to use it as a frame round a card rather than showing all of it.
I stamped the floral spray repeatedly round the edges of a panel, then watercoloured it using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in 036 Light Blue, 041 Light Green, 047 May Green, 050 Yellow, 051 Lemon Yellow, 081 Light Violet, and 082 Purple.
Finally, I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Beautiful Quotes, and mounted the panel onto a top folding card base.
That's it from me for this week. Thanks for visiting!
