With Sympathy Flowers

Hi there,

this is another sympathy card I created:

• cut out a stitched panel from smooth white cardstock
• stamp flowers and leaves from the Altenew Vintage Flowers and Vintage Roses sets with Altenew Crisp Inks (Morning Frost, Evening Gray, Moon Rock, Lava Rock)
• water down Altenew Crisp Ink (Moon Rock) and add splatters with a watercolor brush
• stamp the sentiment from the Altenew Painted Greetings set with the help of Altenew Crisp Inks (Evening Gray, Moon Rock) and the Mini Misti for an ombre look onto a strip of Gmund Beer Paper (Weizen)
• add stitching to the sentiment strip
• mount the main panel onto a piece of warm grey cardstock before adhering it to a cardbase cut from Gmund Beer Paper (Weizen) - use the Mini Perfect Layers Tool for the perfect border

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Go Bananas

Hi there,

I have another fun Birthday Card to share with you as inspiration for the Addicted to Stamps and More Anything goes Challenge:

• stamp the branch, one of the super cute monkeys, the party hat and the bananas from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Cheeky Monkey stamp set with Memento (Rich Cocoa) and color the images with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
• use a craft knife to cut little slits to make it look like the monkey is hanging from the branch
• cut out a My Favorite Things Stitched Wonky Circle from watercolor paper and add color with Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint) - spray on some water droplets for more texture
• mount the panel onto a cardbase cut from Gmund Beer Paper (Weizen) and use scissors to remove the excess on the right side
• stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with the same brown ink onto a sentiment strip cut with a die from the My Favorite Things Blueprints 27 set  from Gmund Beer Paper (Weizen) and adhere it with foam tape
• add three Create a Smile Enamel Dots as final embellishment

Thanks for stopping by.
