Anniversary wishes with Peony Bouquet

I’ve been having fun cutting the chevron background with Silhouette Portrait 2 (used this design). Here I used the inlaid die cutting technique. I cut the purple glitter paper in chevron and then the antique silver glitter paper also in chevron. In the purple background I fit in pieces from antique silver and vice versa. As a result I was able to get two backgrounds! When I finish the card with the other background will share that as well. It was a lot of fun – I created four card bases using this background!

The peony was stamped using versafine onyx black and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. The leaves were stamped using the distress inks. The sentiment is stamped in black on vellum and then clear embossed.

If you look closely at the envelope (underneath the card), I stamped that too with peonies – in memento yellow ink. Looks really pretty!

Supplies: Altenew Peony bouquet stamps, My Sentiments Exactly Anniversary Innies and Outies stamp set, Misi stampipng tool.

Hippo Bird-day

The hippos in th Happy Hippo set from MFT are so cute! The set has many hippos and all doing different things which gave me the idea to make this card. I wanted it to look like all these hippos are coming in different directions and eyeing the cupcakes. The circle die cuts serve as windows. Really loved how it turned out!

Supplies: MFT Happy Hippo, Zig Clean Color Brush markers, Stickles, memento tuxedo black ink, Bristol Smooth cardstock for watercoloring and PapertreyInk cardstock for the base.

You’re out of this world

Made this card for Mother’s day. I think the sentiment is so apt for my mom – you’re out of this world! Sponged the background on watercolor paper using distress inks.

Supplies: Technique Tuesday Out of this world stamps, Zig clean color brush markers.

Flamingo scene

Really loved how this turned out! I’d been searching for different ways to use a flamingo stamp and then I came across a card that built a scene. That made me search for flamingo photos… one thing led to another and I wanted to create a beach sunset scene.

The sky was sponged using distress inks, the sun was cut using dies. The beach was fuzzy cut.

Used my Zig clean color brush markers to color this Art Impressions stamp. I used the Smooth Bristol board paper and it’s a joy to color on that with the Zig markers.
