I wanted the flowers to have more dimension so I cut an additional floral layer. I also did a little paper sculpting so the flowers would pop off the card. I added a few gems and a sentiment and that finished off the card.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnK8xQ9_yQQN5JlMlF5w3PfYD70qQa4pgvuTDIkDsmH2YADQZUauE_HWaah1hyphenhyphenKt618CbPXq5wKi1p7xzAnHz6CZQ4V4NbKxqCuWitMjZ-MkPokFjnSHRf52i8HyD63aYahBI-UI00l2cPbGwaCKKNiD1SUIEKKvSh36Y2aiIQcEfplgHiaTaSGe_f0dk/s2875/IMG_7692.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2875" data-original-width="2636" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnK8xQ9_yQQN5JlMlF5w3PfYD70qQa4pgvuTDIkDsmH2YADQZUauE_HWaah1hyphenhyphenKt618CbPXq5wKi1p7xzAnHz6CZQ4V4NbKxqCuWitMjZ-MkPokFjnSHRf52i8HyD63aYahBI-UI00l2cPbGwaCKKNiD1SUIEKKvSh36Y2aiIQcEfplgHiaTaSGe_f0dk/w366-h400/IMG_7692.HEIC" width="366" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9rhuZqQH_fVzNYp0GPxVJL6j2ZzRdtWUy7E95hNQVu8_Z5TS8o68p-fqpE5rXRi8xTWLQb3LpqHwyF-HSc_oLz334azzezbungi2H372m4r9Z7t4aExZI3cHfqKB6Yg4WrB9A9NbGQetWpxImqWyN7Ell6151Bawx4QDZQ7eHUfU_XZngNc8-KH8kl8/s3664/IMG_7693.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3664" data-original-width="3022" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9rhuZqQH_fVzNYp0GPxVJL6j2ZzRdtWUy7E95hNQVu8_Z5TS8o68p-fqpE5rXRi8xTWLQb3LpqHwyF-HSc_oLz334azzezbungi2H372m4r9Z7t4aExZI3cHfqKB6Yg4WrB9A9NbGQetWpxImqWyN7Ell6151Bawx4QDZQ7eHUfU_XZngNc8-KH8kl8/w330-h400/IMG_7693.HEIC" width="330" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was fun and easy to put together and creates a 'wow' factor for a card front.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nancy</span></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>designermchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12647850248058156599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161771723760762469.post-53228544874690491492024-02-16T21:18:00.002-06:002024-02-16T21:18:28.577-06:00Sweet n Sassy Collection<p style="text-align: center;"> During a much needed clean up in my craftroom I found lots of leftover ovals from frames I cut for other projects. I also found a stamp set I had never used, so I decided to make some cards. I liked what I was designing and decided that I could continue with my card design and make many more cards.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I love coming up with an idea and then using it and a variations of the design to stock pile some cards.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Today was a fun play day along with cleaning out the stash.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The stamp is Sweet n Sassy - Forever Loved. There is a small die for the flowers and leaves.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNpqALay5vaEjMM2qLy1Y69XJ965NAMA02XFS12kVbsxhHvN5Omy23URAEnh-VnzLzbnqAVqEcpTXsRx_DUwC650HAZEyLn40ofIJ-4r0aeulgt76vaYp9LvV4J7cA68eCYH7XTlQoOMpREckbfttP_curnSfoXUvz8gAXCuXYVxmOBaZ78RdgQvyji1g/s3479/IMG_7673.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I have fallen in love with their BetterPress system and Spellbinders continues to improve every month with new designs.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Recently I went to a crop and only took BetterPress to work on the first day. I made many cardfront panels and then started to watercolor the images. </p><p style="text-align: center;">One of the newer plates I purchased is Cosmos Backdrop. There is a stencil for the image but I don't have it so I decided to watercolor instead. I love that Spellbinders has many ink colors to use with the BetterPress, but I've found many inks in my collection work very well to press the images. Two of my cards use a black ink and the last one uses a brown ink.

I love to make albums and when a new collection is released I always pick-up one of everything. I want all the things to select from when creating which results in extra laser cuts, paper and ephemera. I usually keep the most recent 3-5 collections in a separate box for each, then I will start to combine pieces by color for the older collections. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This card uses a frame and greenery, along with a neutral backgound paper. I like to always add a ticket to the cards as my signature for 49 and Market.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLdlxY7VALJTmZz1Nl5Ve2h6PN9-dcZdIOmD-Q9xrAufRvTettUUt-ZyBCOhPnFyLvSpoXSJR_kVpM2g8C492QFp0gPc-177JMxKnRxQxk2j7X6ef0qPb4tBRA6JXkR4A-s6_-RsdzJXDJPeCwNyAaESYJE_X4pItHuUl8Rd5NwjPgoxtOCP9VTLs11Y/s2934/IMG_6892.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2343" data-original-width="2934" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLdlxY7VALJTmZz1Nl5Ve2h6PN9-dcZdIOmD-Q9xrAufRvTettUUt-ZyBCOhPnFyLvSpoXSJR_kVpM2g8C492QFp0gPc-177JMxKnRxQxk2j7X6ef0qPb4tBRA6JXkR4A-s6_-RsdzJXDJPeCwNyAaESYJE_X4pItHuUl8Rd5NwjPgoxtOCP9VTLs11Y/s320/IMG_6892.heic" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made this card into a standard shaker using neutral sequins and fun bits.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You should have arrived here from the blog of <b style="text-align: start;"><a href="http://nanspaintpaperscissors.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank" title="http://nanspaintpaperscissors.blogspot.com/">Nandini Karmarkar</a>, </b><span style="text-align: start;">if not please go back for her inspiration. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I have several cards to share and I hope they will spark your creativity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first card features </span><a href="https://altenew.com/products/playful-plumeria-stamp-die-bundle" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Altenew Playful Plumeria</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I stamped the flower and leaf images several times and then cut them out using the dies. I stamped the branch directly on the card front and then created a fun arrangement. I placed a few gems in the centers of the flowers to add bling and sparkle. I love this set because it also includes many encouraging sentiments. Simple design with unlimited possibilities.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This next example gets simpler yet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://altenew.com/products/charming-doodles-stamp-die-bundle">Altenew Charming Doodles</a> with a. sentiment selected from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/playful-plumeria-stamp-die-bundle">Playful Plumeria</a> that I used on my previous example.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose the small whispy flowers and stamped them a couple of times on the card front. Keeping the clean and simple theme, I stamped a sentiment strip on vellum and attached it at the bottom over the stamped flowers. I layered the white card front over a black layer for definition and then adhered a sparkly gem on each flower.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This next example is a variation of the new slimline cards that have been showing up everywhere. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The card measures 4" X 7".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cover a panel with <a href="https://altenew.com/products/marsh-land-washi-tape">Altenew Marshland Washi</a>. This washi is a great neutral background that allows you to add so many accents over it for a pop of color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The leaves are from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/weekend-doodles-stamp-die-bundle">Altenew Weekend Doodles</a> set and I colored them with <a href="https://altenew.com/products/watercolor-brush-markers-tropical-fiesta-set?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_pid=1413421662317&pr_ref_pid=1307198718061&pr_seq=uniform">Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers</a>. The sentiment was heat embossed with white on a black strip and I used black <a href="https://altenew.com/products/green-fields-enamel-dots">Altenew Enamel Dots</a> for accents.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My last card uses the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/cheerful-meadow-6x6-paper-pack">Altenew Cheerful Meadow</a> 6 X 6 paper pack. This paper pack has so many gorgeous papers that make it simple and fast to create a card. You could very easily cover a card front and then add a sentiment, but I decided to use the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/fine-frames-diamonds-die-set">Altenew Fine Frames Diamonds Die Set</a> to cut a diamond out of the decorative card front. I selected the red dot paper to fill the hole/space that was created with the die cut. After die cutting the diamond I had all the layers of diamonds remaining and I chose several to add on top of the red dot paper for accent and it also supplied more of the initial floral paper for interest. I needed to incorporate my signature black into this card so I used a sentiment from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/best-sentiments-stamp-set">Altenew Best Sentiments set.</a> For final touches I used a black stacking card layer and black <a href="https://altenew.com/products/green-fields-enamel-dots">Enamel Dots.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope all is well and you're surviving this stay-at-home situation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been following along the internet with Facebook, You-tube, Instagram and blogs as I'm sure most of us have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So many exceptional projects and fabulous designers offering hours upon hours of instruction and inspiration. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of us have had many extra hours in our studios to play and discover all our supplies again. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have taken this opportunity to focus a few days at a time on one medium and stamps that I feel deserve some love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I want to share projects featuring Rina K and Gina K products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rina's new Electro-pop palette is so fun and bright. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This first card is Screamin Green Neon Glitz over a green inked background. I also stamped the leaves with Hello Yellow and Screamin Green Ink. I finished the card up with black accents.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using a stencil I put Poppin Pink Neon Glitz on the card front. I finished the card off with the donuts and mounted on a cardfront with a black accent layer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The card next in line is simple and elegant. This card features items from the Gina K line. As always I used my signature black on this card and needed to prep the black paper in order for the Turquoise Sea Glitz Glitter Gel to pop. I started by using white pigment ink through the bubble stencil. By doing this first step my glitz gel will be more visible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This last card is my favorite. Starting with the black panel, I wanted to try a decofoil color from my stash. I've had the Opal foil for a long time but with its translucency the color never showed up much on paper. Well, with the new Blanco Transfer Gel, its the perfect solution to use before foiling. I love the diagonal design from the stencil and how this step turned out. Now it needs a focal image and sentiment. Using Gina K Stamp & Foil Butterfly Kisses set and Rina K Electro-pop inks I stamped three images. They looked a little flat so I stencils each butterfly with the matching Neon Glitz Gel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You should have landed here from the blog of </span><a href="https://kreativekymona.com/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> Kymona Tracey</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> and 'wow' how about that inspiration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first card I want to share is very simple. I started by using the newly released <a href="https://altenew.com/products/bursting-dahlia-stencil">Bursting Dahlia Stencil </a>and inked a very simple background. I love the new <a href="https://altenew.com/products/summer-afternoon-washi-tape-set">Summer Afternoon Washi </a>set with the coordinating colors. I selected 3 washi tapes and placed them on the card front. The <a href="https://altenew.com/products/parlor-palm-die-set">Parlor Palm die</a> set was used to add an accent along with the sentiment and enamel dots.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once again I went back to our last release of stencils and pulled out my new favorite <a href="https://altenew.com/products/wild-leopard-stencil">Wild Leopard stencil</a>. Placing a very soft inked background on my panel I then arranged the floral images. This card actually has another new washi tape featured as an accent. <a href="https://altenew.com/products/morning-glory-palette-washi-tape">The Morning Glory Palette</a> washi has been placed at the bottom along with the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/hello-and-hugs-stamp-die-bundle">hello</a> sentiment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is fun and easy to create your own background using this thin washi tape. I like the effect you achieve when you overlap the strips. Using <a href="https://altenew.com/products/forest-glades-cardstock">Forest Glades</a> paper for my layered panel and accent on the sentiment helps pull the colors together. Once again the featured sentiment is from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/hello-and-hugs-stamp-die-bundle">hello and hugs</a> set. Enamel dots finish off this card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stencil I selected for this card is SO89 Stegmiller from StencilGirl. I used several colors of Distress Ink to create the pattern. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once again I finished off with Lucy's Gems.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks for joining our Educators Blog Hop today. I am honored and blessed to be part of this talented group of designers. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You should have landed here from <a href="http://mylittleattic.com/">Nenette S. Madero's</a> blog. If not please go back and see her inspiration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We were asked to share a project focusing on flowers for this blog.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>So who doesn't love flowers and isn't that what Altenew is all about? </i></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first project uses flowers as the focal on the card. I love the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/ornate-cover-die">Ornate Cover Die </a>which can stand alone, but I wanted to add the accent flowers from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/hennah-elements-stamp-die-bundle">Hennah Elements </a>stamp and die set. One of my other loves from Altenew are the 6 X 6 paper packs. The <a href="https://altenew.com/products/celestial-6x6-paper-pack">Celestial </a>pack was perfect for this project to add a background under my cover die.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using vellum I stamped the sentiment from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/crystal-frames-stamp-die-bundle">Crystal Frames Stamp and Die </a>set. My flowers were stamped and then I used <a href="https://altenew.com/products/honey-drizzle-crisp-dye-ink">Honey Drizzle</a> and <a href="https://altenew.com/products/forest-glades-crisp-dye-ink">Forest Glades </a>Crisp dye ink the brush the edges with color. My finishing touch was enamel dots from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/pocketful-of-sunshine-enamel-dots">Pocketful of Sunshine</a> set.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My next project sticks with my love of 'Black' and my first try using</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://altenew.com/products/metallic-watercolor-14-pan-set">Altenew Metallic Watercolors</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used Stonehenge Black watercolor paper and loved the result. Using the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/build-a-flower-japanese-mum">Build-A-Flower Japanese Mum</a>, the image was embossed first which I'm not totally sure was necessary. I love to watercolor and will be pulling these out again soon to play.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started out by using the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/circle-quilt-cover-die">Circle Quilt Cover Die </a>over my card front. It's very hard to see in the picture, but I used the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/birch-wood">Altenew Birchwood paper</a> under the die. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The sentiment is from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/hello-and-hugs-stamp-die-bundle">Hello & Hugs die set</a>, which has quickly become my favorite.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To finish off the project I placed gems on the background.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This last project I share is a card that I have previously posted. It features the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/build-a-flower-camellia">Build-A-Flower Camellia</a> with the sentiment coming from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/build-a-flower-anemone">Build-A-Flower Anemone </a>set. I used the large flower for the focal point and the flower image to make a subtle background print. I love to use black in my projects so once again that makes the images 'pop'. Altenew Crisp Dye inks used are <a href="https://altenew.com/products/coral-bliss-crisp-dye-ink">Coral Bliss </a>and <a href="https://altenew.com/products/fresh-leaf-crisp-dye-ink">Fresh Leaf.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This card is a total reflection of my style so I wanted to share one more time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using Altenew Crisp Dye Ink, Pale Mauve, Grape Agate and Amethyst I colorized the background. <a href="https://altenew.com/products/mod-vases-stamp-die-mask-stencil-bundle">The Mod Vases</a> were also stamped using those ink colors along with Jet Black at the bottom. I used the matching dies for the vases and cut the gold paper for the top of the vase. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wanted to have some palm leaves sticking out of the vases and I needed to add color to the vellum so Altenew Pumpkin Pie Crisp Dye ink was added to paper before I cut the palms.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are so many things you can do with this stencil but I wanted to keep this card simple to make the stencil pattern a focal point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inks used for stencil are Altenew Crisp Dye inks, Fire Fly, Dew Drop and Aqualicious.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First I ran my stencil through a die-cut machine to add the embossing relief effect.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just received my new Taylored Expressions Botanical Beauty stamp and die, so I had to break it out and play.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stamped the image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. Using the edger die I trimmed the image to attach to the card front.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using a stencil I created a background for the image.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other day I featured a card with my new favorite Copic Marker color combination. Well today I decided to try the same concept using my <a href="https://altenew.com/pages/search-results-page?q=artist+markers">Altenew Artist Markers</a>. The stamp set I have chosen is <a href="https://altenew.com/products/paint-a-flower-poppy">Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Poppy</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I mentioned before, it's my opinion that not every image lends to this type of coloring but this Poppy stamp work great. This coloring style is not meant to have an even blend between colors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the pop of color and artist look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The markers I used: Ocean Wave, Sea Glass, Warm Sunshine, Crimson, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Moss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I fussy cut a mask for flower and then sprayed Altenew Ink Spray in <a href="https://altenew.com/products/jet-black-ink-spray">Jet Black</a> and <a href="https://altenew.com/products/antique-silver-metallic-ink-spray">Antique Silver.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After coloring this image I decided to try my hand with another color combo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The markers I used: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Sea Glass, Buttercream, Ocean Wave, Deep Iris, Rouge, and Grapevine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I covered a panel with <a href="https://altenew.com/products/gradient-lines-washi-tape">Altenew Gradient Lines Washi Tape</a>, fussy cut the image</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and used dimensional tape to attach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Layering a turquoise panel on the A2 card base, I added a few white pearls to finish thing off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sentiment if from the <a href="https://altenew.com/products/paint-a-flower-poppy">Altenew Poppy</a> stamp set. I stamped and cut a small tag shape to attach with green twine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Working on some more purple today, I decided to play with my Altenew Build-A-Flower Crocus stamp and Die set. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stamped the Crocus with Altenew Wisteria, Hydrangea, Ultra Violet, Fresh Lemon, Honey Drizzle, Firefly and Grass Fields. Dotted Washi Tape from Altenew is one of my favorite backgrounds to use and it works great for this card. The sentiment is also from the Build-A-Flower Crocus set and stamped with Jet Black ink.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starting with the Friendship Hearts stamp set, I created a background with the stitched heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the "Galentine's Day" sentiment and just had to use it on the card. I sprayed a little glimmer mist and placed a few sequins to complete the design.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my next 2 projects I used the 'A Big Hello' stamp set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I typically don't select purple for my projects but it's 2020 and I need to step out of my comfort zone. Lovely Lavender, Wild Lilac and Plum Punch inks from Gina K were used to stamp the images. By layering the inks I achieved the tone-on-tone effect. Clear Wink of Stella was added to accent the flowers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stamped the hello sentiment and sub-sentiment in black ink. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three tiny silver gems finish off the card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSyD-Biv3jXZ4XP_ZVPta0LQYQpTQr1hjAkqYYBmAb3crZ0aI11aGiaPVerIS2khkWhqNBcpWeddBmOywK8-UOfvP9NL7izI21eelX5U2xsY2Ja9uVJ8ECgUSWo9ZKSYBwE5VqBA345dM/s1600/fullsizeoutput_16ce.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1215" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSyD-Biv3jXZ4XP_ZVPta0LQYQpTQr1hjAkqYYBmAb3crZ0aI11aGiaPVerIS2khkWhqNBcpWeddBmOywK8-UOfvP9NL7izI21eelX5U2xsY2Ja9uVJ8ECgUSWo9ZKSYBwE5VqBA345dM/s640/fullsizeoutput_16ce.jpeg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last card started by using a water spray over the inked stamp from the card before this. There was plenty of ink left on the stamp to achieve a watercolor look for this image. You can see that the light color of Lovely Lavender is more prominent this time. I needed a soft lilac Glitz Glitter Gel so I mixed a small amount of Lovely Lavender ink with White Glitz Gel. The stencil I used is Gina K Mandala Burst. The sentiment and sub-sentiment was stamped with Plum Punch. Again a few sequins complete this card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently discovered a Copic Marker color combo that I wanted to try and can </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I say, I <i><b>LOVE</b></i> this combo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel that you need to have a floral image that has a design that lends to this type of combo though. For my project I selected Memory Box Rose Bouquet (CL5241).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">WOW! Can you believe that 2019 is almost over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> You should have landed here from the blog of <a href="http://ziniaredo.com/blog/">Zinia Redo</a>, if not please go back and see the fabulous inspiration she has to offer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been a very busy and memorable year for me with having 2 scheduled eye surgeries, plus an unexpected move about 6 months ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The month of October was special for me because I was asked to film a series for the Altenew Academy, 'Modern Holiday Cardmaking'. I must admit this was a little out of my comfort zone, but I enjoyed the process and was able to feature processes and designs that I love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first card I want to share, features the Build-A-Flower Camellia with the sentiment coming from the Build-A-Flower Anemone set. I used the large flower for the focal point and then used it to make a subtle background print. I love to use black in my projects so once again that makes the images 'pop'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_VrGb3DxaKt9I6Y_M2bfgrGuPGMg8Dr-JGl0UY_3hCMzcHlS9TxtZgfCeLgIrwSGuc2I-MP5qs9LBrIoexmiD-4CVpdDS07h6HQDFFPbgm5hZ1YllAnrz8vgm8Rf-0XSBEWa92wuwXkk/s1600/Nancy+McClelland-project+4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1255" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_VrGb3DxaKt9I6Y_M2bfgrGuPGMg8Dr-JGl0UY_3hCMzcHlS9TxtZgfCeLgIrwSGuc2I-MP5qs9LBrIoexmiD-4CVpdDS07h6HQDFFPbgm5hZ1YllAnrz8vgm8Rf-0XSBEWa92wuwXkk/s640/Nancy+McClelland-project+4.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This second card is another favorite that features a monochromatic scheme. This tone-on-tone uses the following Dies:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Watercolor Stripes Cover Die </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Leaf Canopy Die</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Miss You Word Die</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I stamped the floral images with Morning Frost, Evening Gray and Lava Rock Altenew Crisp Inks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Can't forget those fabulous aqua enamel dots from Altenew.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibG5Ob0a1G7mvgwBhs-oEhTGXb8vSG8O-1MGq8FUjfVT2_XCtqlT2bifXE9djU78Jsh5M5YZwMDOrxDygFJC6wZJ4RvwtUAd9aWyAYMCCkR1wiR1FtjPrX7im65mPNOtRdxdnbXSq5bk/s1600/Nancy+McClelland-project+3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1211" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibG5Ob0a1G7mvgwBhs-oEhTGXb8vSG8O-1MGq8FUjfVT2_XCtqlT2bifXE9djU78Jsh5M5YZwMDOrxDygFJC6wZJ4RvwtUAd9aWyAYMCCkR1wiR1FtjPrX7im65mPNOtRdxdnbXSq5bk/s640/Nancy+McClelland-project+3.jpeg" width="483" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The image for this bright card is from the Wallpaper Art stamp set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using my Altenew Artist Markers to color the image I selected those reds and warm yellow tones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once again I wanted to incorporate black in the card, so I mounted the image to a black card base and also chose a simple sentiment stamped in black.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2hx1rlBtJ4mEcM-OCvaVRZmt0ywt6fB_VkboLsv7SpC2H8AHgbGpz4fJGmnXxH05cVvMYeESfqKzWSUfi21Qm8Men67A4mG0QY0AqzkRTRZFFPEFygXPTRoDI-vdzi-rTz6W-KinAY0/s1600/Nancy+McClelland-project+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1219" data-original-width="1600" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2hx1rlBtJ4mEcM-OCvaVRZmt0ywt6fB_VkboLsv7SpC2H8AHgbGpz4fJGmnXxH05cVvMYeESfqKzWSUfi21Qm8Men67A4mG0QY0AqzkRTRZFFPEFygXPTRoDI-vdzi-rTz6W-KinAY0/s640/Nancy+McClelland-project+2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This last card was featured in my Modern Holiday Cardmaking video series for Altenew. I used black as my focus in my projects and this card received so many positive comments.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The stamp is Modern Poinsettia from Altenew and I used the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers to color the fabulous blue-gray image. The flower was mounted on a black base covered with the Altenew Circle Quilt Cover Die.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This basic design could be used for almost any large floral image and you could used so many colors for the focal image.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I fell in love with this recent released stamp from Gina K</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is the Tall Pine Stamp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I saw this stamp I knew that I wanted to create a blended background that resembled a winter/night sky.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I selected Moonlit Fog, Ocean Mist, Powder Blue, Lovely Lavender, Wild Lilac, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green and Fresh Asparagus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using my blender brushes I created the background and then stamped the trees in black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided not to use embossing powder on the trees and keep them flat black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is so basic and easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've attached the video of my process.</span></div>
