Thanks!

Hey stampers, Anni here!
With the holidays over I had to send a few Thank You cards, especially to my family for making this Christmas extra special. I found myself with no Thank You cards left in my stash. So I sat down to create a Thank You card.





I wanted to use the Gardenia Blooms Journaling Card die by Neat & Tangled for quite so time. It is beautiful, isn't it?
I die cut it twice from watercolour paper. I left the die cut in place to make the colouring easier. Because I had a second die cut I didn't need to be so careful to stay in the lines.
For the colouring I used ZIG Clean Colour Real Brush pens again.
I adhered the die cut with the negative space on a piece of scrap paper. The coloured flowers fit into the spaces like a puzzle.
For the sentiment I die cut the Thanks from the die set Sentimental Dies by Avery Elle and stacked them up for a little bit of dimension. That job is quite easy if you're using Stick it adhesive.
The word die cut fit perfectly in the space between the flowers. I just had to cut it down in length.
I assembled the cut and added some sequins for a finishing touch!


A card without stamps - totally unusual for me! Do you create often cards without using stamps?

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great weekend!
Anni

Mixed Blooms Bouquet



Hi there everyone and happy Thursday! Lydia here with you today with a fresh one layer floral card.

Today I wanted to use stylised and fun floral images. To get the look I was after I mixed two MFT stamp sets, Fall Florals and Desert Bouquet. As I mixed two different sets it gave me more looks I could achieve by playing around with the many floral layers.


I used a colour combo that was new to me that I had found on Pinterest, I do love the warm feel to it.

After stamping all of my flowers and leaves I stamped my sentiment in a black ink, partially stamping over my images to pull the card together. This beautiful sentiment is from Neat & Tangled 'Gardenia Bloom Journaling Card'.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do hope you like my card.

Hugs, Lydia x
