Stamping Sensations wants to see Summer Flowers and ATCAS wants a thank you card, so I combined the two for this card.
I put the wildflowers stamp in my MISTI and inked it up with Tombow
markers, spritzing with water, repeating as necessary. Added the
sentiment, trimmed the panel, and popped it up on fun foam on the card
base.
The Paper Players' challenge is called "Round We Go" (feature circles - I've got an image of a globe and I die cut it with a circle die) and Time Out wants something to do with travel, and what better than an image of the world and all the places one could go.
I stamped and heat embossed the globe / dove image on a scrap of background that I'd made using watercolour paper and alcohol inks (using the technique in this video) and die cut it with a circle die. I die cut a leafy
flourish from another scrap and entwined it around part of the circle.
The sentiment is a TH metallic sticker, stuck on another scrap. Mounted it all on black cs and then on a white card base.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Indigo Blu wildflowers, unknown sentiment
Ink - Memento Cottage Ivy
Paper - watercolour paper, off white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Tombow markers, fun foam
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - Deep Red World Peace
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, white and black cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Spellbinders circle die and leaf flourish die, TH metallic sentiment sticker, clear embossing powder, alcohol inks

What a beautiful card! The spritzed flowers are just stunning—so soft and elegant, like a little garden captured on paper. Thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations.
ReplyDeleteSusan... love both cards! Your world peace card would be a fabulous Christmas card. Love the image and sentiment. Thanks so much for sharing your circle creation with the Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteI love the targeted colour direct to stamp and spritzed to give this beautiful watercolour look Susan, and the second with the globe and dove image works well with the very apt words, and the soft colour looks great on the background, leafy swirl and sentiment plate, and a contrast to the black card placed behind it. x
ReplyDeleteNot only a pretty card, Susan, but an inspiring one as well. The globe with the dove is so pretty and is enhanced by the flourished leafy branch, and the sentiment is a good reminder. Thank you so much for joining in this week at the Paper Players!
