The Flower Challenge#83 |Use Spots/Stripes |Altenew

Hi Crafty peeps,

Am here today to share a floral card for the current challenge at The Flower Challenge. The theme for this month is Add Spots or Stripes and I went with stripes by simply scoring the right edge of the card for a neat and eclectic look by using scoring board. You can use stamp, pattern paper, diecut strips and as always keep the Florals in focus. It’a my first ever time stencilling over a stamped image. I love this bellflower image from Altenew. Such a sweet simple image which instantly makes us to color it. I have used different coloring medium (here here here )and this time inkblending.

Over to my card,

  • Took a sheet from Neenah solar crest and stamped the image from Always Be kind from Altenew.
  • Then using Altenew Always Be kind stencil and stencilled the stamped image using Altenew crisp dye inks.
  • Sentiment is stamped and then stencilled the same way and the sub sentiment too from same stamp set using Versafine Onyx black ink.
  • Took the cairo cream top fold cardbase and scored few lines using a scoring board as shown.
  • Then the stamped, stencilled panel is mounted using foam adhesives as shown.
  • Added few enamel dots as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!

Bouquet of Wishes | Inspired by Stamping

Hi all,

Am back here again with a floral card for the ongoing Craft-a Palooza Giveaway at Kanan’s Ifeelglee.com. Yes they have extended their giveaway till 2nd June 2023. So do play along to show your support 🙂

I already made 2 cards for 2 other categories and this time its for CAS category.

Am a sucker for flowers. And this one company in past 2013-2014 was the whole sole reason for making me love the floral stamps. I used to participate and won many of their monthly challenges and by that way, my craft stash of floral stamps started to build. It’s none other than Joanna’s Inspired By Stamping and sadly it was closed many years back, yet I still own their wonderful stamps.

Today’s card is from that brand IBS, Tulip Bouquet. I also love the sentiment font of all their stamps.

Over to the card,

  • Took a Strathmore Toned Tan sketch paper and diecut it using Gina Marie Scalloped Frame large die set.
  • Then stamped Inspired by Stamping Tulip Bouquet using Distress Ink – Antique Linen.
  • Coloured the stamped image using Copics and Colored pencils.
  • After colouring stamped a lovely sentiment from same stamp set.
  • Then foam mounted this die cut panel over a top fold A2 sized Olive green cardbase.

Hope you like this simple sweet greeting card!
