Adding Details Just Because…

It has been a cold, rainy and cloudy day today. Perfect weather to snuggle with a hot cup of chai. Mmm! I wish I did just that. But instead, I made couple of cards.

Hello and welcome again. If you are new here, I am Gayatri. I am a cardmaker. I am passionate about my hobby. Today I have couple of handmade cards to share with you.

These cards are for Altenew’s Certification Program I am taking at the moment. I took the Beautiful Details class. Amazing class and I learned a few new tips and tricks. And here are my projects inspired by one of the technique.

Card #1

Card #2

So I used Altenew’s Vintage Roses stamp set to stamp clusters all over a half a sheet of white cardstock. I used first, second and third generation stamping to add depth to stamped panel. This set does not have outline images. I used the second layering image from three roses and leaves to stamp the entire background. Then I used black fine liner to add sketchy details to the first generation stamped images. The contrast of black sketchy details against the grey and green images makes the images pop.

I trimmed the panel and adhered to the black card base. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set. I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock, trimmed and adhered as shown. To complete the card, I used green vintage drops.

SSS Celebrate You card set!

I know I am late to the party because my package arrived late. But the excitement to see new products is always there when I open the package. So excited to about the Chillin Frenchies stamp set and dies from Simon Says Stamp Celebrate You collection, that I immediately opened up, inked and made a set of cards.

If you do not know about the new release from Simon Says Stamp called Celebrate You, check it out at their store. The products are fabulous as always.

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I have a set of four cards to share today using Chillin Frenchies stamp set. This post is photo heavy. So make yourself a cuppa and enjoy.

I had so much fun stamping and watercolouring the images from the stamp set. I paired this new set with an older stamp set from Simon called Surf’s Up and an older die called Stitched Whirl background die.

So I stamped all the images from the both the stamp sets on Bristol smooth cardstock using versafine Onyx black ink and coloured them using Zig clean colour brush markers. Then die cut them using the respective coordinating dies.

For the background, I ran the Stitched Whirl background die over four white panels, trimmed the panel to 4’x5.25′ and foam mounted them on white card base.

I made four different cluster using the diecut coloured images and adhered them on the top centre of the background panel.

Sentiment is from Chillin Frenchies stamp set which I have white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed them using Simon’s Sentiment Label dies and adhered below the coloured image cluster.

To finish the cards, I added a few white gel pen details and clear droplets

Now here are the photos of all the individual cards.
