Card 1
For my first card, I used Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves Stencil. I used Altenew Inks: Jet black, sea glass, ocean waves, pale tomato, raspberry, hunter green, warm sunshine, caramel toffee inks. I combined it with oval shaped circle element from the Background Builders MCM set. The sentiment is from the Origanally Organic Flower Garden stamp set. And embellished it with a few rhinestones.
Card 2
I called this rainbow oxides of flutters by! Oxide inks worked well on dark surface paper. I hope you all like it!
I started by stamping a semicircle element and then drew the line in between the two using a white Posco pen. Then I stamped the wings using silver metallic pigment ink.
I used distress oxide inks kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry, fossilised amber, carved pumpkin, speckled egg and rustic wilderness. I gave the shadow the impact of a darker colour. Then I used silver metallic ink to highlight the wings. It's hard to catch the transparent impact and silver metallic shine, so take a close-up look above.
The sentiment and tiny flowers are from the Butterfly Serenade stamp set.
Card 3
This Background Blocks Bauhaus is my favourite from this release. I created a rainbow color theme card using my fine liner brush markers in different colors. I masked some of the parts of the stamp set for the sentiment inside it, the sentiment is from the Sunshine and rainbows stamp set, and I drew a rectangle box inside with my black pen.
Card 4
The MOD Circle Builder stamp set has many possibilities, too. On a white die-cut stitched panel, I stamped the image using Carved Pumpkin DO ink, which looks so beautiful as it is.
Then I watercolored the circles using the same DO ink. Then highlighted some of the parts with a glitter pen. The sentiment is from the Sparkle Sentiments set.
Card 5
I started with Background Builder Blocks Splatter Stamp on a white die cut panel in Monochrome style using salty ocean, mermaid lagoon, uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire DI. Then I stamped the Polka dots using the same inks. The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set. This card is perfect for Masculine ones too!
Card 6
For this, I wanted to create something different. I created a sunset scene with greenery and the shadow of the flower branch. I think this idea worked well using the Layering Bauhaus Retro
stripes stencil!
I started with one of the stripes from the no.3 layering panel on a white textured CS, shown in the pic below, using speckled egg distress oxide ink. For the sun impact at the top centre, I used a semicircle from the Background Builders MCM stamp set.
Using twisted citron, I blended the ink on some of the panel and drew the stripe lines using the stencil with a black pen. Then I stamped the floral branches from the Just Because stamp set. The sentiment is from the same set. And jewelled it with a few rhinestones!
