Hello, Everyone!

Thanks so much for joining our blog hop today! You should have arrived from Tracy Freeman's blog.

Studio Katia has a fun new release with some exciting products - including a brand new 6x6 paper pad and slimline card dies!

For today's card, I decided to use the new Dotted Slimline Set 2 dies and the Flourishing Note stamp and die set.



I cut three different panel elements from three different pieces of colored cardstock: Blush, White, and a light gray. These were all cardstocks I had in my scrap pile and any color would work for this design!

After glueing the two smaller die cut pieces together, I adhered a piece of foam on the back and then glued that down to the largest die cut piece.



I then embossed the image from the stamp set on to a piece of white cardstock, used the coordinating die to cut it out, and then fussy cut around the bottom outside edge of the floral image and cut away the envelope portion of the image.



I glued down the floral images to the top and bottom portions of the card and then finished off the card by die cutting a "hello" sentiment and gluing it down, centered on the card.

Hey there, Crafters!

I'm so pleased to be invited on to the Brutus Monroe blog hop today! When you've got an "Anything Goes" theme, it's hard not to feel inspired to create!

For today's card, I used some new to me shades of alcohol inks! I laid down some alcohol ink blending solution first on alcohol ink glossy cardstock, and then dropped in a few drops of each color and used my mouth to gently blow them in different directions to blend them together.



I them stamped the main floral image from the Botanical Banners set with Versamark ink on to vellum paper, and then heat embossed it with Vintage Pearl embossing powder.

And then I cut this image out using a coordinating die--JUST KIDDING!!! I actually just fussy cut it out, with a border, to make it look like it was a die. This is a technique I've really fallen in love with recently.



After gluing the floral vellum piece on to the alcohol ink panel, I trimmed down the panel and them mounted it with foam on to a gray cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in Juniper Mist ink and cut it out, then I glued it on to the card with foam tape on the back.

Be sure to check out the rest of the inspirational creations from everyone else on the hop, 'cause you won't want to miss these projects!
