Thank you card with Altenew Paint-a-flower Coral Sunset

-

 Hello lovely people! 
I'm back with my latest card made with Altenew paint a flower Coral Sunset stamp set. 

Autumn is favourite time of the year. I love the muted colours, foggy mornings and cool evenings. I wanted to say hello to all the beauty of this half of the year with darker florals and eye catching background. 

My first step here was to stamp and colour this beautiful stamp set from Altenew. My go to watercolor paper is the one from Crafter's Companion. I used my favourite Daniel Smith's watercolours.  I had so much fun with all the violets and blues. I like to use unexpected shades on my florals.  I also added details with a white gel pen. 

I used scissors to cut the image out. I love fussy cutting. I could do it all day, it is very relaxing to me.

For the background, I decided to use one of the darker violets from my watercolor pallette. I used broad paintbrush and lots of water. Before painting I taped of the card edges with washi tape. I did wet on dry technique and started darker from the top and bottom. I made sure that the centre was lighter. I let it air dry before continuing.

I adhered the flowers to my background with a foam adhesive. I arranged them more towards one side of the card. 

Next, I did hot foiling with my Gemini Foilpress. I used sentiment from the Yana's Special Sentiments hot foil plate by Spellbinders and gold glimmer foil. 

My last step was to adhere the card front to a slightly larger card base with foam tape and add few matte gold gems from Pinkfresh Studio. 

My card is done and I'm so happy with it! 

Thank you for stopping by! 

Comeback soon for more inspiration from me! 

Anna.

 Hello everyone!  I am super excited to be a guest designer for Alex Syberia Designs September release. It is their anniversary release and it is packed with fantastic stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil plates. I've had so much fun using all the new products and I have a card and tag combo to share with you. I've used the newest Timeless Blooms Celebration stamp set featuring layering stamps with coordinating dies .  I started with stamping all of the layers from Timeless Blooms Celebration stamp set with dye inks. I also die cut the other half for my circles using white and gold glitter cardstock.  For the background I did ink blending using Distress Oxide inks and metalic paint.  I wanted to coordinate my card with tag using colour pallette and sentiments and greetings from Floral Balloon Extravaganza stamp set are just perfect for it. I used black ink to stamp them directly onto the backgrounds.  As a finishing touches I chose to add ribbon bow to both - card and tag. I a

 Hello everyone! The new August release from Gina K Designs is already in shops and I have a mini slimline card made with the fantastic Wonderful Watsonia stamp set and watercolors.  I started with stamping and colouring the images from the set. I used Daniel Smith's watercolors in muted shades of pink, purple and orange. I die cut everything out with coordinating dies and added white highlights with gel pen.  Next I did the background. I used Distress Oxide inks to create soft pink backdrop and splattered water and metalic paint all over it.  Before assembling I stamped sentiment from the same set directly on to the inked background with black ink. I adhered my flowers with foam squares and trimmed the excess.  That's it!  Don't forget to visit Gina K Designs for all the new fantastic products and come back soon for more inspiration.  Anna

Hi there!   Gina K Designs July release is now available in store and I have matching set of birthday card and  tag to share.  First I stamped this huge daisy from the Devine Daisy stamp set on white cardstock with black alcohol marker friendly ink twice. I used my Ohuhu markers to colour it and cut it out with coordinating dies.  For the backgrounds I masked off parts of my card front and tag. I used Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick distress oxide inks to do ink blending. I also added water splatters and some metalic paint.  Before assembling, I stamped sentiments directly on to white panels with black ink. I used foam squares to add my florals to the backgrounds. I made sure to cut off everything that was hanging over the edges and added white highlights with gel pen.  To finish of both, card and tag I scattered few gems and that's it!  Thanks for stopping by!  Anna
