Congrats!

Hello Everyone! It’s Aga here and today I’m sharing a watercolour card using Persian Motifs and Label Love sets. This time however I used slightly different technique than normally.

First I stamped the Persian motifs in very light colour (Buttercream), and then I used watercolours to cover them. There is no need to stay in lines, I only covered the background area. Last step was to stamp the floral motifs once again over the old ones but in black colour. Thus, I didn’t have to worry about the danger of smudging my stamped images while applying watercolours.

To finish my card off I added some yellow splatters and gold confetti stars.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

It’s a Special Day

Hello Everyone! It is Aga here and I’m popping in to share another simple card today. Like probably most of you, I find my inspiration everywhere around me. And this time wasn’t different, some fabric I saw the other day inspired me to create today’s background:

I started with floral images from the Persian Motifs set stamped in dark blue. Next I used a blue marker to fill in the spaces between flowers and added some delicate blue splatters here and there. To finish my card off, I added a white panel with a stamped sentiment and die cut numbers.

Thank you for stopping by today!

We just love how Heather double-stamped images from Persian Motifs – such a great effect!  The delicate doily and faux ribbon add a lovely delicate touch.

Virginia’s Ori Kami card just rocks!  We love how the butterflies look like they were tie-dyed, and that acetate window is awesome!

Piali’s delicate coloring skills are such a perfect pairing for the floral images from Wild Hibiscus.   This surely is a card that anyone would be delighted to receive!

Maria created an amazing window shaker card using Vintage Roses.  The soft yellow colors complement each other perfectly, and look stunning against the dark wood grain background.

We adore how Dawn embossed the Fresh Freesia flower before coloring it with Zig Markers.  The sequins add a delightful sparkle to this lovely card!

Svitlana’s card features an ethereal scene created with distress ink and our To the Moon stamp set.  It looks like a gorgeous combination of sea and sky, and we love it!

Kate&chablis created an artsy masterpiece using Watercolor Wonders.  The layering is awesome, and the colors are gorgeous!

Pia used Super Script to layer a bold sentiment over a stamped geometric background. So clever!

Kate’s unconventional color choices for her flowers (from Wild Hibiscus) are so dreamy and creative!  We also love the skewed panel and circular sentiment.

Hello Everyone! It’s Aga here and today I’m sharing a quick and simple card that is a great example of how to stretch the versatility of coordinating dies.

This time I haven’t used them to cut a stamped image. I simply ran a piece of white cardstock through my die cut machine using the Persian Motifs Die. Then I used watercolours to colour my elements a bit and embellished them with gold glitter for some extra sparkle. I wanted my background to contrast these colours so I just made some black splatters and added a black label sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Efrat’s cheery card features a bold sentiment from Super Script, and gorgeously colored flowers from Hennah Elements.  We also love the stitched frame!

We adore this retro inspired card from Kate!  The Striped Floral images get a new look when layered with stamped circles.  Plus, the color combo is so fresh and great for spring!  A simple sentiment from Label Love is the perfect finishing touch.

Ali’s rocking one of our older sets – Ori Kami – and brings the hummingbirds to life with some Distress Ink watercoloring!

This Persian Motif card from Kelly truly is incredible!  We love the coloring and arrangement of the floral images.

Our last card today is this stunner from Heather.  She stamped our Vintage Roses in a variety of fun colors. and topped it off with a great custom sentiment from Halftone Hello.
