Hello everyone. I’ve been commissioned to create birthday cards, and since it’s May (you know the saying April showers bring May flowers 😉), it had to be a floral card. And it was the perfect opportunity to finally break out the gorgeous
Majestic Roses stencil set from
Altenew (ALT) and use their current monthly challenge as inspiration to create my card.
3 gradient ALT
Rock Collection gray colour inks were used to stencil the white roses, while only one green colour dye ink was used for the foliage. The green colour was brighter than I wanted, so diluted gesso was applied over top to desaturate the colour. The stencil gives an image with two roses and foliage, but for design purposes (odd numbers being more pleasing to the eye), a third rose (bottom right front) was added first, then masked with a DIY fussy cut mask created from masking paper.
The sentiment from ALT
Pocket Sentiments was white heat embossed on a paper strip that was coloured with a RV17 Copic Sketch marker. A fishtail was then die cut from it using a
Fishtail Banner die (currently on sale) from Sunny Studio Stamps. Die cut the panel next with a stitched rectangle die (out-of-business). Assembled the card onto a white card base and embellished with some clear
Moonshine sequins from Simon Says Stamp to finish.
I couldn’t stop playing with the stencils and somehow ended up creating two more cards. 😆 For these cards, heat embossing with clear embossing powder was used for masking instead of creating more DIY masks before ink blending a light green colour for the background.
On this final card, three gradient ALT
Cherry Blossom ink colours were used for the pink rose.
