Hello friend!
You know it takes time to get acquainted with your stamps and dies. I started out with a few simple designs and had fun playing with Bamboo Rose Stamp and Coordinating Die.The following is actually my first take with this stamp and die combo.
You know it takes time to get acquainted with your stamps and dies. I started out with a few simple designs and had fun playing with Bamboo Rose Stamp and Coordinating Die.The following is actually my first take with this stamp and die combo.
I made this card for the Altenew September release as an extra project. I didn't want to bore the blog hoppers with too many projects, so instead, I am sharing it today.
I did it all in one sitting and the card actually came together very quickly. When I said "in one sitting", that means, I stamped and embossed all the images at one time (with MISTI). The images were colored with Kuretake. It really is easy to color these flowers as they are just the perfect size for any novice color-er. I also watercolored the outline images before diecutting. This way, the flowers look more cohesive and polished (all supplies are linked below) when assembled.
Of course, I had to add gold splatter to the background and stamped the sentiment in Delicata gold...the card now looks "golden"!
Anyone can create a card like this as long as you have the right tools and supplies!
I love the free style design of the Bamboo Rose. It is perfect for coloring in any type of medium.
Last but certainly not the least....
I am announcing the winner of my $20 Simon Says Stamp Gift Card

One can never see too many Virginia cards!! Beautifully done.
lovely card as always. My congratulations to the winners. Have fun with your new toys!!!
Wow! This is extraordinarily beautiful. The way your outlined the flowers with color is an excellent idea...need to try that soon. Look forward to your next video.
Lovely card, Virginia. I like that you wrote about 'getting to know your stamps and dies'. Too often, I begin by thinking I can do this even though I haven't made friends with a new stamp or die. Your point that this stamp is free style is right on point. I think the stamp, in particular, has lots of possibilities.
Oh my gosh, is that my name? Woot!!! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much, Virginia, and Congrats to sdonn on her SSS gift card! I can't wait to start shopping :)
I love how you watercolored these pretty Bamboo Roses and leaves! Such a lovely design on this card, too...A simple sentiment and fun splatters really makes the flowers pop! Thank you for your encouragement, too...I sometimes feel intimidated by watercoloring, and then I see how easy it can be ~ love it!
Your embossing and coloring are just beautiful. Love the design!
Virginia, I don't think you need to worry about "boring" us blog hoppers, your work is beautiful! This card is no exception! Gorgeous!
Congratulations to your winners!
BEAUTIFUL card Virginia! You always inspire me with your creativity!!

This is absolutely beautiful! You make it look so easy and I love the way your designs flow! Thank you for sharing with us! I look forward to seeing more amazing cards!
