Sunflower greeting card with White Spruce Studio

 Hi friends! Today I am sharing a card I made using a design by White Spruce Studio. 

 





You can get the file here: Hand Drawn Whimsical Flower

This is how I made this card:

I decided I wanted this to be a slimline card because it is a tall flower. A slimline card is 3.5" x 8.5". I made a rectangle that size in Silhouette Studio and filled the shape with the image. Using Silhouette's Print & Cut feature, I printed it on Hammermill cardstock (found in my supply list below) as this cardstock is great for coloring with alcohol markers. After it was printed, I had my Silhouette Cameo cut it out. You could also just print it and use a paper trimmer to cut it to size. 


 

I used alcohol markers to color the entire image. 

I mounted the finished design on a white slimline card base with a yellow mat in between. I add some sequins for sparkle and splatter some black paint. 

I left a sentiment off for now. I can add the perfect sentiment when I know who and why I send this to someone.

Sunnies with Diamond Press

 Hi friends! Today I am sharing a card I made using Diamond Press's set called Sunnies! They have an older set using sunnies and this one is a nice companion to that one.


Included in the set is stamps, dies, vellum used for the "glass" of the glasses, a folder that goes with their brand of die cut machine, and instructions with card ideas. 

I made the background design with two stamps in the set in 3 shades of green.  

I love Diamond Press sets. They are perfect for beginner card makers and can be using for scrapbooking and other projects too. They sell on their own website and also on HSN.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #760

 Hi friends! This week's CRAFT Challenge Blog theme is Christmas. The sponsor is: The Cutting Cafe and the design I am working with is called: Snowman Family Shaped Card




 For this card, I cut all pieces out with white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. I then colored them using acrylic paint markers, white Gelly Roll pen, and some distressed ink for shading.
