Hello Sweet Friend
The new Fluttering Friends stamp set is simply adorable! As soon as I saw it I knew it would be so cute on cards.
I started by first stamping the bird and leaves from the Fluttering Friends stamp set and then die cut with the coordinating Fluttering Friends dies. I colored the images with copics. I blended the background using Life Changing Brushes and Limencello, Mint to Be, Seafoam & Aquatini inks. I wanted the bird to be on a perch of some kind so I die cut a tree "branch" from the Winter Woodland die set and then stamped it in Over Coffee ink with the coordinating tree image in the Winter Woodland stamp set. The sentiments, I'm in love with that font!, are also from the Fluttering Friends stamp set. I used some striped black & white paper from the Black Tie Gala patterned paper pack to give the card a little more contrast.
A Wonderful Time is Ahead!
For this next card I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest and ran with it.
There are so many ways that you can use the new Just Wonderful Floral stamps. For this card I turned them into fruit! I stamped the various apples or peaches or whatever you see 😁 with Lemongrass, Coral Cabana, Pixie Dust & Be Mine. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
The leaves were stamped with Mint to Be ink and highlighted with Midnight accents here and there. I used the leaf images from both the Just Wonderful Floral stamp set and the Be Wild stamp set. I get the leaves to be textured on the fruit stems I inked the stamp in the color I wanted and then "kissed" it onto a patterned leaf image and then stamped. I created a video to show this process in more detail.

Your softly colored bird and background looks so cute. I like the effect
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Thanks for posting the video something I always forget is the kissing technique.
ReplyDeleteWow, you kick started my brain with the kissing technique. I've used it but never thought about using it with layering stamps. I like the simplicity of using only the one ink color .
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Jen. Thanks for the kissing technique reminder. Really does extend the use of your stamp sets. That little birdie card stole my heart. What a cutie.
ReplyDeleteWow. You do some amazing color jobs! I really like your colorful style! Your cards are stunning and have surely made me want to buy the wood slice die directly after I finish this hop!
