I created some background panels using the Glimmer Metallic Ink from Hero Arts with a stencil.  I decided to cut the panel up using the Rounded Jewel Infinity dies, and added a flower and sentiment from the March My Monthly Hero Premium kit.

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made with papers from Paper Rose. 

I chose two patterned papers from Wedding Blooms Textures, some foiled paper from Gold Basics 1.0, and a die cut from Wedding Blooms Embossed Die Cuts. I stamped and white embossed a sentiment from Big Bloom clear stamp set onto some navy blue cardstock, and finished with some gold embellishments.

 I saw a live video from Jennifer McGuire recently, where she added liquid watercolour ink over a stencil, so I thought I would give it a go with Hero Arts Glimmer Metallic ink!

Sympathy card for a music lover

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 I was recently asked to make a sympathy card for a friend to send to a family member. She liked a sympathy card I made a few years ago (you can see that one HERE, which was a CASE of one I saw on Instagram by Jennie Lundin) but she wanted me to incorporate music into it somehow. 

I used quite a few discontinued stamps on this card, so I haven't included a links list at the bottom of this post.

Textured sympathy card

Sometimes you need a sympathy card quickly. My stash of sympathy cards was at zero, so I made this card very quickly with a embossing folder from Altenew, and a Betterpress plate from Spellbinders.

Rainbow wreath for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card for Paper Rose.

I cut the Sunburst Coverplate from white cardstock. I kept all of the pieces together with some Press n Seal, and ink blended a rainbow, radiating out from the centre. I added liquid glue to the back of the cut out pieces of the die cut and added them to a white card base (I kept the main diecut piece for another card). I chose a wreath diecut from the Rainbow Garden Florals Embossed Die Cuts and adhered it over the centre of the Sunburst with some foam adhesive. I stamped and white embossed the happy birthday sentiment from Happy Birthday Thanks Inky clear stamp set, fussy cut around the sentiment and adhered it over the wreath.

Spellbinders Luxe Backdrop and Border 3D Emboss & Cut Folder

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 There's a new spellbinders release today - there's a very cool embossing folder that has two parts - I'm sharing two cards today showcasing each part of the folder. 

On this card, I used the border portion of the folder, with the coordinating border die. I then coloured the embossed portion of my card with Copic markers.

 

The larger portion of the folder creates this gorgeous background texture. I highlighted the texture usig some white ink and some sparkly Versamark Dazzle ink. I added a sentiment and border using a new Betterpress Plate, with coordinating dies.
