STUNNING COSMOS
Stunning Cosmos – one more very beautiful and realistic layering stamp set. For the card I decided to go with deep blue and shiny green color combo.
First I stamped flowers using Moss, Olive, Parrot and Bamboo ink onto a white cardstock. I fussy cut them, leaving small outline around and then filled this outline using Desert Night Altenew Artist Marker (from set A).
I inked a white card base using Ocean Waves, Dusk and Desert Night ink and added several droplets of Dusk Metallic Shimmer Ink Spray. I adhered the flowers onto the panel and foam mounted it onto a white card base,
Lastly I added the sentiment and several clear droplets.
FROSTED GARDEN
The next set I chose to use for the release is a floral one also, but in this set floral images are move sketchy and whimsical – Frosted Garden.
I started by stamping one floral image onto a white card base using Silver Stone ink. I also stamped and die-cut three more using Cosmic Berry, Purple Wine and Desert Night onto Moonrock cardstock. Which I die-cut using matching dies.
I stamped the sentiment onto the card base and adhered die-cut flourishes.
Several purple sequins finished off the card.
ASL LOVE
The last card I’m showing today is a New Year one made using ASL Love Stamp Set. This is an alphabet set with ASL incorporated into letters.
First I stamped phrase “Happy New Year” onto a white card base using Ocean Waves, Dusk and Desert Night ink.
Then I die-cut 2018 out of this panel using dies from Bold Numerals Die Set. Along with die-cutting the same numbers 5 times out of Navy cardstock.
I adhered the panel onto a Navy card base, created dimensional numbers by adhering all die-cuts together and adhered those onto the card as well, inserting them into their negative space.
