Hi everyone, Esther here with a floral hello card featuring My Favorite Things.
I started by die cutting a panel in dark blue card stock using the large stitched rectangle from Blueprints 29. I added matching flowers from the Stitched Flowers Dienamics, glued down flat. Then I die cut some smaller Stitched Flowers from a piece of watercolor card stock coloured with a pink Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pen, shaped them with a ball tool and glued them here and there in the spaces.
Finally I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold, from Lil'Inker Designs Wreath of Roses and mounted the panel onto a top folding card base. I love the variety of sentiments in the Wreath of Roses set, all in gorgeous cursive handwriting.
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi everyone, it's Esther here with a card inspired by the idea of a night garden.
I started by die cutting a "starburst" panel with a centre circle using Avery Elle Burst Elle-ments. I cut stars from the centre circle with My Favorite Things Stars in Sky Vertical Dienamic, and replaced some of them with silver stars.
The flowers were die cut using My Favorite Things Stitched Flowers Dienamics and coloured with alcohol markers.
The bunny gazing up at the night sky is stamped and die cut using My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies, again coloured with alcohol markers.
Finally I layered everything up, raising the outer starburst panel above the starry sky using foam tape and stacking the flowers on top around the bunny. I decided not to add a sentiment as I didn't want to make the card too busy or hide too much of the gorgeous starburst background panel.
That's it from me this week. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi everyone, it's Esther here with a card that's filled with flowers! Yes, this was a labour of love to make but I think the finished effect is worth it.
The card is made from a panel inked into pink and peach ombre from which I then die cut a frame using the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frames. I also die cut another 5 frames from plain white card.
I then die cut the word "hugs" from the middle of the panel using My Favorite Things Big Hugs. I also die cut another 5 "hugs" from plain white card.
The frames, panel and "hugs" were all layered up onto a card base.
The time consuming bit comes next... I inked several scrap panels of card into the same pink and peach ombre and let them dry. I then die cut multiple copies of two of the My Favorite Things Stitched Flowers, making sure I had enough in just pink and just peach to fill the wider top and bottom strips of the card.
Each flower was then shaped to lift the petals with a ball tool on a foam mat.
I then arranged them loose on the card to check the placement and colour gradation was correct, before gluing them each down using tweezers and wet glue.
I love that the flowers on top match the ombre shading of the base layer!
Finally, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies onto black card, trimmed it to size and popped it over the bottom of the "hugs" letters. You could use any sentiment you like, though.
That's it for today folks - have a great week and I'll see you again next Wednesday :)
