Carte Postale frame tutorial

Hello friends! Happy Friday to you all!! Today I have a simple tutorial, I started a project and on the way I made several mistakes and this tutorial was born {wink, wink}

Directions: 
Step 1: Gather all your materials and get ready to stamp. 

Step 2: Stamp "Carte Postale" image on a piece of Ultra Smooth Premium White cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink. 

Step 3: Cover image with Light Blue Embossing Powder and heat set. 

Step 4: Apply a smooth coat of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. 

Step 5: Apply a second coat using Broken China Distress Ink. 

Step 6: Finally apply Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

Step 7: Your piece now looks like this, you can apply as little or as much ink as you want. TIP: I leave the stamped area a little bit lighter of Vintage Photo Ink. 

Step 8: Stamp the border around the edges in Blue Hawaii StazOn and the other two images in Spiced Chai StazOn Midi Ink. 

TIP: You can use this piece in a card, but also you can decorate your room with beautiful frame. I got this pretty frame at my local Goodwill for only 0.99 cents!!

Here is the final project:

Hope you like it and give it a try.
Have a fantastic day!

Hello friends!! Happy Wednesday to you all. It's hump day and I hope the whatever bug I got goes away soon, no time for me to get sick(er).
Anyway, back to my card, this week is a CAS one for Word Art Wednesday, but pretty {wink, wink}. I didn't add too many embellishments, I used the flowers from Altenew Painted Flowers, here are the details.

• Cut a piece of Vellum paper 4" x 5.25", score all sides and adhere it to card base.
• Print Bible verse and die-cut piece, stamp flowers and leaves. Die-cut a scallop border in Coastal Pearl and adhere it behind the verse.

Orchids and Hibiscus!!

Hello friends! Hope your day is great. Last week, Crafter's Companion launch new Sheena Douglas stamps, part of the A Little Bit Sketchy Collection.

I have 2 card for you today using 2 of the new sets.

For this first card I used "Orchids" set, I made a stepper card. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers: HB1, HB2, HB3, LV1, CT1, LG2, LG3, DG1, then die-cut the image with the square from Elegant Stamping Frame Die set. Then I added the image to a big die-cut in purple using the same die set.
For the sentiment I die-cut it using Just the Tickets Die set, added a bow and the card was finished.

For this second card I used the "Tropical Nectar" set. The images were colored with Spectrum Noir markers :

• Hibiscus: CR2, CR3, CR4, CR5, CR6. CR7, CG2, CG3, DG2
• Hummingbird: IG1, BG1, BG2, BT3, TB2, TB4, CG3.

Then I cut out the images and added them to a panel made from Pink Pearl Shimmering Cardstock and Gold Dust Shimmering Cardstock and a Kraft card base. Added a couple of patterned paper strips. Finally die-cut the sentiment with Just the Tickets set and added pearls to all corners.

Hope you like them!
Have a great day!
