Bouquet of Flowers Card


I'm sorry if I haven't gotten around to visit you in the last few days, I'm way behind on my visiting this week, but I'll get there eventually.

Yesterday was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong, but in spite of that, I did get a few more digital stamps done. This is one of them. For one of the things that did go right yesterday, I tried some smooth white paper I got at either AC Moore or JoAnn's last weekend. It was next to the Spectrum Noir pens, and is made for alcohol markers. I have an expensive printer I bought for my photography. While the ink is especially nice, it doesn't always like the ordinary papers. It is really formulated to work with fine art papers. It worked beautifully with this paper, and so did my Copics!

The printed and colored stamp was mounted onto this Noor! die. I used my new Delicata Golden Glitz stamp pad to stencil the die, using those Ranger Nibs, and it actually has the most gold shine of any of the golds I've tried so far. The stamped image and die were outlined with a gold PenTouch pen, and mounted onto a pearlescent pink mat which was mounted onto gold mirror card, and onto the card itself. Gold and white pearls were added to the card.

  4. Hi Kathi,
    Your digi is gorgeous. Wish my coloring was better but maybe when I get some blender pens, which I have ordered, it may improve.
    Thanks for stopping by and leaving great comments. I line the envelopes with colored paper that I have had in my stash forever. It is just colored copy paper and I use it for an insert as well.
    If I have any left over from the better paper that I use for background I will use that.

  5. Really like this image...Okay, I have to admit I'm not sure what digital stamps are? can you give an explanation...
    I've been having a difficult time making a card...it felt like any creativity I had left me...
    BUT...today, Hubby took me to my favorite stamp store...I always say my local stamp store...but in reality it's an hour drive away from us...smile...
    but I definitely found some goodies there...hopefully, it will help me get back in the groove to make some more cards.
