Hello everyone!
Welcome to Altenew July 2017 Stamps, Inks and Dies Release Blog Hop.
I have four projects to share with you today.
I did a bit of masking and stamped all the leaves. I stamped the parrot separately on watercolour paper. I coloured the leaves and my "sky" with a mix of distress stains and Gansai Tambi watercolours. I added quite a bit of shading to give an illusion of dimension.
I coloured the parrot similar to a green winged macaw, fussy cut it out and popped it on my card front.
Next up is the smaller 2x3 stamp set called
Little One.
This set comes with a coordinating
die set. I stamped out the onesie with Versamark and heart embossed it in white on watercolour paper. I watercoloured it using Cotton Candy Crisp Ink. I then went ahead and stamped all the little elements using the same ink.
I popped all the diecuts on foam tape and heat embossed my sentiment on a dark grey strip.
I added a glittery heart to the onesie and glittery pennants to go with the baby theme.
I used jewel tones on my card. Each piece has three to four tones of colour and looks amazing in person. I just don't like the placement of the images. I tried a few times to get the look I wanted but it just wasnt my day and I gave up.
I cut that out using gold mirror cardstock.
This is a smaller sized card. I diecut the word "hugs" a few times.
I inked one of the layers using distress inks.
I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Sentiments directly below my "hugs" diecut.
In the end I added some glossy accents over "hugs".
I hope you liked the cards.
