Punches Series #10

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a good day! Here is another card for my punches series. This is my favorite border punch. It is so elegant looking. It was nice to use some patterned paper since lately I have been using backgrounds that I have made. The bird was stamped on an alcohol inked marbled background that was in my stash. I fussy cut it and adhered it onto the card. I was happy to use the flower that we made in one of my small stamping groups!


Stamp:  Scribbly Bird - Dina Wakely
Flower - Heartfelt Creations
Punch - Martha Stewart
Paper:  Summer Flowers - Craft O'Clock

Stamp:  Togetherness Flower Bouquet - Hero Arts

Peace and Happiness

Welcome to my blog! I hope you are enjoying your day. I am showing a card I made using the sunflower and die set from Colorado Craft. They made this set especially to sell for Ukraine where all the procedes go to help them in the war. I went artsy on this card and did a fun technique on the sunflower. I used oxide inks to color the sunflower, placed a stencil over the flower and used a QTip to color on a darker gold color. This gave the flower some texture. I cut out the sunflower using the included die and adhered it on a gelli print background that I had in my stash. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the ladybug and added it to the leaf. The saying is from a sticker book.


Stamp:  Sunflower - Colorado Craft
Ladybug - The Angel Company

Distress Oxide Inks
Acrylic Paints
