First up is a refreshing lemon card featuring Squeeze You stamp, Squeeze You stencils and Paper Cut Word Mix 1 dies. There is a coordinating die set, too.
The image was stamped with Fadeout no-line colouring ink on Bristol paper then ink blended three shades of each dye ink colour (yellow, brown and green) through the layering stencils. Used Copic Sketch marker YR24 to add dimpling texture to the lemons.
The panel was then die cut down with a Stitched Rectangle. Stamped the sentiment in the bottom right corner with Versafine Onyx Black ink then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder (EP). The "Love You" word die was then die cut from the panel and three more times from plain thick white paper to do the eclipse (aka camouflage or hidden) die cut technique. Assembled onto a white card base to finish.
My next card is a simple floral card featuring the Alstroemeria Blooms embossing folder (EF) and the Paper Cut Word Mix 1 die set again. I must admit this did not turn out as I had hoped. Perhaps it's because the cardstock and ink colours were not a good match(?). 🤔
Anyway, Blueberry Mist cardstock was embossed with the EF then ink blended with Blue Mountain inks for a spotlight effect. Applied white Unicorn pigment ink direct-to-paper over the raised areas next before splattering with diluted white gouache paint for some texture. Die cut "hello" and its shadow next from Bristol paper then ombré ink blended it with the same inks. Inked it with VersaMark next then heat embossed with clear glitter EP. Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.
My final card is a birthday card featuring the Cow Cuties stamp set. The cows and hats were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then fussy cut out. There is a coordinating die set.
The back panel is Neenah Solar White 110 lb. cardstock. Stamped the fence/hay pike in in a circle cutout and coloured it with Copic Sketch markers. Masked it then ink blended green and blue dye inks for the grass and sky, respectively. Added grass blades/details with a G28 Copic Sketch marker. Black heat embossed the sentiment with clear EP, then assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

These are great from this release. I love the sentiments on the first card and the bright yellow. I like the blues and that pretty embossing folder. The white really brings out the design and the blend looks lovely. The herd made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThree beautiful cards, Trina. I love the second card; I think it's perfect in every way. The white markings and light background look wonderful, highlighting the beautiful flowers. As always, you've presented three perfect cards.
