Blue Hydrangea 3-D card

 Today I am sharing a beautiful hydrangea card.  This is one of my favorite flowers and when Honey Bee Stamps came out with their Honey Cuts Lovely Layers Hydrangea die set, I knew I had to have it.  I used that as my main inspiration for this card.  


I had cut my layers from regular white cardstock which is not good for copic coloring, but since I already had them cut out I colored them up with the following colors of copic markers:  The hydrangea petals were done in B37, B34, B32, and B000.  To add a tint of pink, I applied some V00 lightly to  the edges of some of the petals. .  Now because the cardstock didn't blend well, they have a totally different look, almost like watercolor which I really like.  I colored each layer and then glued all the layers together using bearly art craft glue.  Three of the single flowers were cut and I popped up the petals only (I glued down the centers) using foam squares on two of the flowers and the third I removed a petal and placed it at the bottom next to the flower pot.  By popping up the petals only, it give the hydrangea a 3-d affect.

Using a domed foam dauber I inked the background on my card base where the blossom would sit using Tim Holt's Distress Ink Faded Jeans.  I didn't want the white of the base card to show thru the blossom.  I really like the effect I achieved.  

Next, I stamped out the flower pot from the Sunny Studios Potted Rose stamp set using Honey Bee's No Line Coloring ink.  I love this ink, it makes no line coloring so simple.  I stamped it out on X-Press It cardstock which is what I use for all my copic coloring.  I did the flower pot using the following colors:  E99, YR27, E97, YR65.  It was then cut out using the matching Potted Rose Die set.  

Once cut out, I placed it on the bottom portion of the card base just below the inked area.  I then glued the hydrangea blossom in place above the pot.  I used some light yellow paper from my stash to cut out the centers and glued them in place on blossoms.  

I knew it needed something else, so I again stamped out three of the bees from Honey Bee Beecause stamp set onto X-press It card stock using the same no line coloring ink.  I colored the bees using 100, andY19 for the bodies and C3, C1, C0 for the wings.  They were cut out using the matching Beecause die set.  I randomly placed them on the card popped up with foam squares.  Here is a closeup of the coloring:



I wasn't sure whether to us a sentiment or not, but decided to use on from the Stamp Simply Typewritten Year Round Greetings.  Using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.  Stamp Simply also has the most fabulous Fish Tail Dies which I used the smallest one to cut out this sentiment.  I found this die set to be so useful!  It fits so many sentiments from so many different companies, I don't know how I survived with out it before now! LOL!

I popped the sentiment up across the pot and called it done!  I really love how it turned out and I know I will be using this die set a lot in the future.  I hope you like it too!  I tried to add links to the products used, other than the normal items we have in our stash to make it easier for you to find if you so desire. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Keep on Craftin'!

Card Maker Stamp Collection - Cute Boots

 This post features some new/old stamps from Spellbinders.  This image may look familiar, that is because it was originally released as an FSJ stamp set.  Spellbinders is now re-releasing it as a clear stamp set under the Spellbinders name.  It is part of the Cardmakers Stamp Collection.  Today I am featuring the super cute stamp set called Cute Boots.  


I was inspired to create this card from the background paper which comes from the Create and Bloom Paper Pack. After applying the paper to the card base, I cut out two hills, freehand, from Limeade Splash cardstock and inked the edges using Mowed Lawn Distress ink and a foam dauber.  The hillsides were then placed and glued to the front of the card. I felt it needed more clouds in the sky, so I cut out two using the Cloud Dreams die. and white cardstock.   I used the smallest die and then glued the one on the right and popped the one on the left up using foam squares.  

The image was stamped onto X-press it card stock and colored with my copic markers.  She was then fussy cut and placed onto the card using foam squares.  The sentiment was also from the Cute Boots set and was stamped onto white cardstock using VersaFine Clair, Nocturne ink and popped it up also using foam squares.  As a final touch I applied Wink of Stella to all the raindrops for a little added sparkle.  

All of the products used to create this card are linked to the product for your convenience.  This was a really cute image to color and a fun card to create.  I hope you will give it a try.  Please be sure to check out all the other stamps in this collection!

Thanks for stopping by and Keep Creating!

Delightful Darlings Collection by Mayline Jung

 Today I am featuring two cards created using two of the new stamp sets in the Delightful Darlings Collection , by Maline Jung for Spellbinders.  First card was created using the Darling Celebration Stamp.  and the flowers from the Darling Hugs Stamp set




.   

I chose to do a birthday card for this project.  I had so much fun coloring her and the flowers with my copic markers.  I love how it turned out!  Here is a close up of the coloring:


The next card was even more fun to create!  I used the Darling Hugs  Stamp.  And best of all, I got to use my snapshot frames die (which is my most favorite die ever!!) The pinks and blues all go so well on this card which was also colored using my copic markers.


Embossing the sentiment really made it stand out.  Here is a close up of the coloring:


The supply list is below with all the available products used to create both of these adorable cards.
