Happy Easter weekend everyone! Hope you are having some good time to chill out, craft and recharge your batteries!
The card I am sharing today is a combination of MFT and Altenew stamp sets and I had no idea where I was going with this one. I had decided I wanted to use the Bamboo Roses set from Altenew so I started by stamping those out..
I stamped the roses in MFT Black Liquorice Hybrid ink using my MISTI so I could get a perfect impression. I ended up stamping three times to get solid outlines, as I was working on textured watercolour cardstock. I coloured the roses using my Distress Markers and a waterbrush and cut around the edges of the images with some scissors, leaving a small white outline around each one. I then added some white dot accents to the roses and leaves with a white gel pen.
I created the background on some smooth white cardstock, which I spritzed with some water and added some Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks with a waterbrush to create a watercolour background. I dried it off with a heat tool once I was happy with the effect and die cut a piece from it using the largest from the Large Stitched Rectangle dies by Lawn Fawn.
I treated the background piece with an anti-static tool and stamped the kindness sentiment from the MFT Kind Words stamp set in VersaMark, once again using my MISTI. I poured over some Hero Arts gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat gun. I then stamped the other parts of the sentiment using Onyx Black Versafine ink.
I added the background piece to the front of an A2 top folding card blank with some tape and added the roses, the first layer with glue and the second with foam tape to add some dimension.
I then decided that I wanted to add something else to the background, so I used my Tim Holtz Bubbles stencil and inked through it in the spaces on the background panel with some Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I then added some sequins to finish.
And for the inside...
I stamped another sentiment from the MFT Kind Words stamp set and a couple of the roses from the Altenew Bamboo Roses set in some London Fog Memento Ink.
I hope you like it and that you will pop by again soon!
