Playing with Watercolours...

Hi! Todays card is made from one of the many watercolour panels in my stash. Whenever I am using my watercolours, I like to keep some extra panels at hand so that I can mop up all the leftover colour. 



I used the Altenew Itty Bitty Branches Die Set to cut a few sprigs out of white cardstock. The sentiment is from the Altenew One-Go: Birthday Greetings stamp & die set.

Lots of Texture!

Hi! This is a great card to use up all the pretty watercolour backgrounds.


I used one of the watercoloured panels from my stash and ran it through the Altenew Peony Sunshine 3D Embossing Folder. Before placing the panel in the embossing folder I covered one side with Versamark Watermark stamp pad. After running the panel, I covered the panel with Altenew Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder, tapped the powder off and then used an old credit card to scrap off some more of the powder. 

I heat set the embossing powder and trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.4". I popped it up on Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape and placed it on a top folding A2 card base in white.

Using Alphabet Dies...

Hi! This card took me some time to design. I wanted to use alphabet dies and decided to combine them with layered floral dies.


The card base is covered with a pale green handmade paper that has a lovely soft texture. I used the Altenew African Daisy Layering Die set and assorted pattern papers to create 5 flowers. 

The alphabets were die cut from Altenew Gilded Glitter Cardstock. I used the Altenew Inline Alpha dies to do the die-cutting. The supplementary sentiment is from the Altenew Birthday Greetings stamp set.
