Watercolor Frames by Altenew from Bumbleberry Papercrafts

Afternoon crafters

It's me again lol.
Following on from my blog this morning  I wanted to show you a completely different look, using exactly the same stamps.

Just a reminder that I used
Watercolor Frames
Halftone Circles
By Altenew and available from Www.bumbleberrys.co.uk  

Also used:
Distress Inks : Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet
Black onyx versafine ink

• I cut a square of blue card slightly smaller than card blank and a square of white card slightly smaller than this 
• I stamped the solid square stamp in the Squeezed Lemonade and then masked it off 
• I repeated this, stamping in the Shaded Lilac, followed by the Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and finally Wilted Violet 
• After each stamped image I masked the square before moving onto the next.  This gives the effect of dimension
• The sentiments were stamped in black onyx versafine ink 
• I adhered this to the blue card and then onto my 6x 6 card blank,  using wet glue

I hope the two posts today show the versatility of just two stamps from this beautiful stamp set.  The possibilities are endless 

Thankyou for taking the time to look

Altenew Watercolor Frames from Bumbleberry Papercrafts

Morning crafters xx

Did everyone have a lovely weekend? Hope you managed to get some crafting done.

I'm back with my weekly Monday morning blog showcasing products for Bumbleberry Papercrafts 

Today make uses the gorgeous
Watercolor Frames by Altenew
Halftone Circles by Altenew

I love these! They have unlimited uses and produce great backgrounds but also as the focal point to your makes

Also used:
Distress Inks:    Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers
Black onyx versafine ink

• Begin by cutting a square of black card slightly smaller than your card blank and a square of white card slightly smaller than this 
• Using the DI'S, I randomly stamped the outline square stamp over the white card, ensuring they overlapped each other
• I used the Twisted Citron DI to stamp the solid square frame
• The sentiment was stamped over the solid frame in the Black onyx versafine ink 
• I adhered this to the black card and then onto the card blank, using wet glue 

This completes this quick and simple,  but contemporary card. 

Thankyou for stopping by.  I'd love to read any comments about this sample and the stamp set.

Vintage Flowers

Doodled Blooms by My Favourite Things

Afternoon crafters

Home from a busy day at work

Thought I'd share a DT card I made using the beautiful
Doodled Blooms stamp set by My Favourite Things and
Halftone Circles by Altenew
available to buy from

Www.bumbleberrys.co.uk

 

To begin I put a strip of masking tape near across the card blank 

I stamped the first bloom in the centre of the card in versafine black onyx ink 

Having masked this off I stamped another behind it and using the masking technique,  I stamped the rest of the blooms around the centre one. 

Also using a masking technique I stamped several of the stalks down from the blooms, across the masking tape. I also drew a few of my own stalks in using a black fine line pen

I coloured all the stamped images in with my kuretake clean colour pens 

To complete I removed the masking tape and stamped the sentiment from the Halftone Circles stamp set

Thankyou for stopping by

Stamps By Me Crazy stamp set

Morning crafters

Anyone got any plans for crafting today?
I'm sharing a new DT sample showcasing the beautiful
Crazy stamp set available from
www.stampsbyme.co.uk

I also used Halftone Circles stamp set by Altenew

Not only is it a beautiful stamp but it's full of changeable sentiments, so very versatile for all occasions

To begin I cut a strip of card and stamped the flower stamp randomly over the card with Versmark ink.  This was then heat embossed with white embossing powder 

I also stamped and heat embossed the flower stamp on a seperate piece of card.  I inked these with Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks, and cut out the flowers and leaves

I  blended the  Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks over the embossed images on the strip of card, and this was then matted onto gold mirri

Using the same distress inks plus Worn Lipstick,  I stamped the halftone circles randomly over the card blank 

The flower strip was then adhered to card blank with foam pads and the cut out flowers shaped and attached with pinflair 3d glue gel

To complete I stamped the sentiments in black onyx versafine ink 

Many thanks for popping by

Altenew Dahlia Blossoms stamp set

Evening crafters. 

Hope you've had a good day.

Thought I'd share a card I made using the beautiful
Dahlia Blossom and Halftone Circles stamp sets by Altenew

You can buy this stamp set from Bumbleberry Papercrafts 

Www.bumbleberrys.co.uk

https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/dahlia-blossoms-stamp-set

I stamped the outline stamp first then used distress inks with the solid stamps

The flower was then masked off to enable me to stamp a second Dahlia, in the same manner

I added my own stalks before stamping leaves in distress inks, both on the stalks and on the Dahlias themselves, using a masking technique where necessary

The halftone circles were used to create a clean and simple background

To complete, I stamped a sentiment across the middle of the flower stems in black ink

Altenew Vintage flowers and halftone circles

Morning crafters

Would love to share a card I made using the beautiful Vintage Flowers layered stamps from Altenew.  Along with their halftone circles.

I cut an oval from white card then trimmed the edge of so it sat against the edge of the card blank

I used low tack tape to secure it in place then stamped the vintage flowers in versafine black onyx ink, ensuring that some of the stamp was on the edges of the die cut oval

I inked up the small Half tone circle with distress inks and used this to "colour" in the flowers and leaves

I stamped a sentiment onto the oval die cut and adhered it with foam pad to complete
