I am back!!! I took a month off to finish harvesting our large vegetable garden plus
Fall clean up of flower gardens, etc. In the meantime...I ordered
new stamping products :-)
I am now feeling rejuvenated and ready to create and post cards I made recently!
Here is my Daisy card for my dear friend, 93 year old Daisy, who is still smiling:-)
I created an Altenew "Daisies 3D Embossing Folder" and "Daisies 4 Stencils"
card yesterday:-)
After I dry EB the Daisies on Strathmore Mixed Media paper I placed the card front onto
my Brutos Monroe Sticky Mat to secure the #1 Daisy Stencil.
Next used my new Altenew Mini Blending Brushes to blend the Distress Oxide Inks.
I used Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade and
Rustic Wilderness inks thru all 4 stencils. It was my 1st time to use
multiple layering stencils. It was fun and worked great!
Next mounted the Daisies cardfront onto SU Mossy Meadows 80# cardbase.
Then added Altenew stamped and framed "Leaf Canopy" sentiment and Done!
Enjoy and Happy Creating dear friends.
Love and Hugs.
Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew "Leaf Canopy" sentiment.
Paper: SU Mossy Meadows. Strathmore Mixed Media.
Inks: Distress Oxide Inks: Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade and Rustic Wilderness. Archival Jet Black for sentiment.
Accessories: Altenew Daisies 3D Embossing Folder. Altenew Daisies 4 in 1 Stencils. Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. Brutos Monroe Sticky Mat.
Taking my card over to NBUS. I used New Altenew Daisies 3D Folder and Stencils and Mini blending Brushes.
