The Flower Challenge 2: Add Embellishment

 

Reminder time! Embellishment. Use it on your card for the month of August.

Altenew's flower is my muse. And I found a metal frame in my stash for 

the sentiment. 

Play through the 25th!

Anniversary Card

 

Hello, and so nice you dropped by...

Running low on much of my stash, and so happy to this sweet sentiment from the new

Greetery release, Grow Old with Me. It inspired the garden themed. card for an

anniversary couple.

Lots of stenciling and inking, along with a bit of copic coloring and white gel pen.

The star of the show: Those fabulous garden gloves!

Thank You, Altenew!

 

It's a happy day when a stamp company gifts you with a special stamp, with your name

in the set! 

Included in my Atenew order this month, was a sweet stamp set, with my name!

Seems Altenew is celebrating 7 years of producing the absolute best in card making,

and they are blessing their customers with a personalized gift! 

The small set is packed with 'wow', calling for a 2 step process for both flower and leaves.

I created a background, before adding my thank you (Best Sentiments) in one of the windows, 

and fussy cut a few bolder blooms popped up.

The solid leaves are from Rose Flurries 3D Die set. 

A big 'Thank You', Altenew! And looking forward to more of your fabulousness

in years to come!

A Thank You Card

 

Well hello stamping sisters! It feels like family when I'm blogging or visiting some of your

blogs! 

There's a new company on the horizon... Pigment is a Canadian Craft Co., and I'm 

thinking their fresh style and sweet simple images are going to catch on with all!

With my very first order was this irresistible apron die. I LOVE vintage aprons, have a few

from my mom and grandmother, and couldn't be more in love with the details to the shape.

One problem... I forgot to order the stamp set that went with the die! (Please tell me

you've done that while ordering too!)

I decided to give my apron a vintage wallpaper print, and used another of Pigment's new

stamp sets, called, Blooming Floral. Flowers are copic colored and hi lighted with white

pencil. Look closely at the top of the pocket, and you'll see a vellum 'ruffle' cut from

the hem shaped scallop. 

 The apron strings are from the top of the apron die, I snipped them off and added them to the

waist. The top straps were included in the die set, just folded them over and added gems

to be the buttons. 

FYI: The stamp set was in a new order, together with  a couple more 'irresistibles'. 

Hope your week (and weekend) is extra crafty... it's the best!
