Another card that I made a while ago and forgot to post! I used inks over layering stencils from PinkFresh Studio, and then paste through a stencil from Hero Arts over the top.

Pink lotus for Paper Rose

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

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

I embossed a piece of shimmer cardstock with the Hand Stitching embossing folder. I cut it down and adhered it to a piece of hot pink cardstock and adhered then to a white card base. I stamped the Lotus Bouquet stamp with black Copic friendly ink and then coloured with with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image, and adhered it to my background panel. I then added a sentiment white embossed onto hot pink cardstock.

I'm on a bit of a rainbow kick this month - and a rainbow background often means I can go monochrome on the focal point!

Floral for you Emboss and Cut

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

 The new release from Spellbinders includes the beautiful Floral for You Emboss and Cut embossing folder. I inked it up in three colours, and added it to a white card to keep the project clean and simple. I also used the matching wax seal, but you'll have to have a look at my Instagram Reel to see that :)

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

I chose a piece of paper from the Rainbow Garden 6x6 stamp set, cut it down and adhered it to a top folding white card base. I chose three dragonfly diecuts from the Rainbow Insects die cuts set, and adhered them with foam tape. I stamped and white embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment onto black cardstock, fussy cut it and adhered it between the dragonflies.

Sealed 3D Botanical release from Spellbinders

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

 There's a new release from Spellbinders today - the Sealed 3D Botanical release includes these cool, 3D embossing folders that have dies that allow you to cut out 3 textured tags in one run through your die cutting machine! The two tags on the cards that I'm sharing today came from the same embossing folder - I inked up one side of the embossing folder with Distress Oxide ink so that the amazing, gorgeous detail of the tags would be most visible.

Masculine happy birthday card

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for my Dad for his birthday. He saw a card I made for the Online Card Class, and thought it looked like the tube-lining on a Moorcroft vase, so I made one for him using the same technique.
