I used SU Fresh Freesia cardstock for the card base and ink for one of the zinnia flowers. I used SU Gorgeous Grape for another zinnia and GKD Peach Belini for the other zinnia. The leaves are all painted with GKD Grass Green. The stamp set used is Altenew Zinnia Magellan Rose. I used Ranger Watercolor paper to paint the images on.
I used a piece of DSP from Stampin Up. It has Pretty Peacock in the paper, so I used that ink for my vase and the shadow and oval. I am totally out of paper that matches that color but do have a marker. I used the marker to color the oval and shadow for hello. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral. I found a piece of coral paper from MFT and it worked well for this piece of patterned paper. The vase and flowers are from a Paper Pumpkin set. The hello greeting is from Altenew. I like the greeting dies in this set.
I enjoy fun folds so had to give this one a try. I have a new computer so this is the first time uploading a photo and creating a blog post. Hopefully this will work well.
The flower is Altenew Zinnia Magellan Rose, dated 2022. The dotted stencil is from SU Basic Patterns Decorative Masks, 2019 Holiday Catalog. To create this card, I stamped the Zinnia first, then stamped it onto a masking paper. I blended ink over the stencil next. I colored the zinnia with Zig Clean Color Markers. Everything was stamped with Versfine Black Onyx ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I die cut my panel with Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped dies; they were a recent blog post win. I used Bristol paper for the images and placed it onto a MFT heavy weight vellum paper.
I am also entering this in the Stencil Fun Challenge.
I created this card for a challenge at Splitcoaststampers for the group Challenge Your Stash. The challenge for February is to create a card with Love or Friendship. I chose friendship.
I enjoyed creating this card. It has been a while since I have masked and created an almost one layer card. I have never placed a card on a vellum card base. This is very strong vellum so it should hold well.
I understand we are heading to 70 degrees today! The weather has been fantastic this week. I even walked to the mailbox a few times which I have not been able to do for several months. I do like warmer weather and am very ready for spring to come and stay. Have a wonderful day and thanks for checking out my card.
I used an Altenew 3d embossing folder. This is the first time I have used it. I watercolored the balloons in Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, and Pumpkin Pie all Stampin Up colors from this week’s color challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I used Ranger Watercolor Paper for embossing and coloring and placed it on Lemon Lime Twist cardbase.
This week my destination in the alphabet challenge was the letter G. Once again, my husband helped me with a destination. My grandmother was an avid quilter and crochet many items. I learned to chain stitch with her help then over the years, learned to crochet quite well.
The stamp set used is Altenew Granny Squares. I used Gina K Designs Innocent Pink, Dusty Rose, Tomato Soup, and Fired Brick inks for each row. I used the matching die to cut each square out, then assembled them into a blanket. It was very much like piecing a quilt in the assembly. I chose to leave the greeting off of the card so I can use it when needed.
Thank you for stopping by today. It has been quite dreary with our rain, but the sun is supposed to be coming out tomorrow and the next day. I am looking forward to seeing sunshine!
