Elegant wedding card by keeping it to one tone with Platinum embossing. Just a touch of colour with Copic.

English Garden Set

I'm so happy that this set of 4 products has arrived from Pinkfresh Studio. They came up with the brilliant idea of matching the stamping set with the die so it can all be cut in one go. In addition they have washi tape that can be cut with the same die, and a stencil to colour.

I decided to cut one set of the washi tape and make a set a cards.  

I ended up with 4 cards. It's a quick and easy way to make a set of cards to gift!

The first card ... I embossed a grid and sentiment in gold, and used a die to emboss a border around the card, adding a few enamel dots.

Another shot to try and catch the gold embossing to match the gold foiling on the washi tape.

The second card is very CAS. I needed a Sympathy card and I wanted to keep it soft and airy. A splatter of ink to tie in with the NBUS  "Reglettes Ronds" die from Simply Graphic. (Ruler circles die).

Card three was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch. I die cut the circle from the panel, then embossed with the Rustic Linen embossing folder.

The last card of the set used the wreath. I didn't want the full circle so decided to trim off one edge. Found some patterned paper in my stash and added the thin gold strip of washi from Altenew.

What do you think? 
Would you like this set? Which is your favourite?

Sea Shell Wishes for you

Our beaches will be re-opening as of 1 July. Yay!

I used the smooshing technique to do the sand (with Antique Linen) and sea (Speckled Egg). I stamped the ink pad on a sheet of plastic, spritzed with some water and then smooshed it on the card. I also added some splatters afterwards to give some more texture.

I was invited to join in the Marathon of Cards (En route vers 2021) challenge by le Creablablablog which is running until 3 January. For the 11th challenge, I came up with this theme :

 Or in English ...

I made 4 cards. For the first : Star, silver, embossing folder ...

The front panel was stamped and coloured with copics, then added 2 red strips vertically.
I added silver stars and the banner with sentiment. Doodled a few black dots to give a flow to the stars.

The silver cardstock was embossed with the 3-D embossing folder.

For the second : Bird, Gold, Embossing folder.
I die cut the rings out of the front white panel. Pass the front panel with snow embossing folder. I then die cut the same rings out of gold and inlaid them to where the white ones would have been.
Punch the bird and branch and pop up on foam.
Stamp and emboss the sentiment.

For the third : Tree & Star, Platinum, Embossing powder.

Die cut the houses, tree and merry square. Use a Versamark pen to make snow marks on the tree and ink up the merry square with Versamark pad, then emboss with platinum embossing powder. 
Add Stickles for snow on the ground. Punch stars. Stamp Christmas in red Versafine ink.

For the fourth : Tree & Bird, Silver, Embossing paste.

Die cut the 3 circles from front panel. Use the tiny dots stencil and apply white embossing paste in a flow pattern ... from top left moving down to right and then down the center.
Stamp, colour and cut the images. I used Copics to colour.
Stamp sentiment and emboss in Silver. Tie silver string. Mount front panel and and pop up the images.

Pop along and join in this challenge, or any of the previous 10.  You have until January 3rd to submit your card.
