There is always Sunshine after the Rain.

Hi everyone and hope you are all doing well!

Today, I will be sharing another card featuring Jane Doodles Hibiscus Stamp Set.I really can't get enough of using this gorgeous stamp set. Every time I think of making a card this particular stamp set came to mind. It seems like it is now one of my favorite stamps.

First, I make a matching mask of the flowers to use when I stamp the images to the card panel. Once done, I stamped with my Gold Craft Smart Pigment Ink added the Wow Gold Embossing Powder and heat embossed the images from Jane Doodles Stamp Set.

Next, I colored each image with Artist Loft Colored Pencils using Pale Orange, Light Orange, and Dark Orange. I also used a little bit of Cherry Red to brighten up the center of the flower.

For the sentiment, I used JilliBean Soup Stamp Set and stamped with Gold Craft Smart Pigment Ink and Wow Gold Embossing Powder and heat embossed.

I added a few Gold Sequins to embellish the card.

That is all for the card today.

Have a great day!

Thank you for stopping by.

What a beautiful Friendship we've grown.

Hello, my crafty friends!

How are you all doing? Hope all is well with all of you.

Today, I am sharing a simple but elegant card featuring the Jane Doodles Stamp Set.

To start, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/4 by 4 inches as my card panel and black cardstock to 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches as my base.

To make the background of the card, I use the blending technique. I started first with Ripe Persimmon then blend it with Wild Honey then I apply a little bit of Dusty Concord and blend with Worn Lipstick. All are Distress Inks from Ranger.

Then, I stamped the image with Ranger Dye InkPad Raven to a white piece of cardstock using the masking technique. To color the flowers, first I started with Pale Red then blend with Pale Orange of Artist Loft Colored Pencils. For the darker color at the center of the flower, I use a combination of Red and Light Orange then for the Pistil I use Dark Orange.

To have a dimension, I fussy cut the flowers and added a foam tape at the back to lift it up a bit. Then for the sentiment, I used Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin May Good Things Grow March Kit 2018. Adhere the card panel to the base and were done!

I hope you enjoyed today's card! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping by!

Good Friends are Hard to Find, Harder to Leave and Impossible to Forget

Hello, my crafty friends!

How are you all doing? Hope all is well with all of you.

Today's card is all about friends. A friend who is hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget. We all have a friend whom we got lost in touch with but even though we still think about them and reminisce the past. We all hope that we can see and bond again to enjoy each others company.

This card doesn't need any embellishment at all. To start with, I created a mask for several images for this card. Then stamped the image with Ranger Dye InkPad Raven to a piece of white cardstock cut to 5 1/4 by 4 inches as card panel.

After stamping the image to the card panel, first I started coloring the flowers with Light Purple, Light Violet, Purple, and Violet from Artist Loft Colored Pencils. Then with Light Green and Emerald Green, I use it to color the leaves.

Next, I stamped with Ranger Dye InkPad Jelly for the sentiment. Then as an embellishment to the card, I did some paint splatters. Adhere the card to the base to finish it off.

Hope you enjoyed today's card. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping by!
