DT: Addicted to Stamps and More – Make your mark #471

I’m back with my design team contribution for Addicted to Stamps and More and this time the challenge is Make your mark … which refers to colouring mediums! And well I used a few different mediums and techniques on this card to add colour!

I’ve realised I used the same focal image last DT too (I love Altenew floral elements!) but this is a totally different style of card!

Ok let’s start with the focal image … Altenew Eclectic Bouquet. I stamped and embossed in gold, die cut it and then used the stencils and blending brushes to add the colour.

And then ran it through the coordinating embossing folder – which everytime I do this it blows my mind because the texture is amazing!

Then I found pink and gold die cuts that were cut waiting to be used (I do the whole die cut all the scraps in one session and put them in pouches to save time and also get my mojo flowing when I’m not sure what to make!)

Then I found in my stack of premade gelli print backgrounds this one that had pinks and greens and the black and I thought worked well with the focal cluster I had made.

I decided to add another layer of something to it though and embossed it using the Fern 3d embossing folder.

So I mat and layered that onto white and black and then made a square card blank to add my painty panel on the right with the floral image spilling onto the left.

I then chose some floss to make a bow and the gems from the stash and added the gold embossed thank you sentiment (again pre stamped and die cut and waiting to be adhered to a project!

Inside the card I added a panel of the white and onto this I heat embossed in gold the image in one corner to match.

Love this graphic and bright card!

Happy crafting!
