Altenew-DotBotanicalsStamp-StringArt Rectangles-Virginia#1


I love to add color contrast and details with stamping.
The image from Dot Botanical allows you to do just that.

By using the String Art Rectangle Dies, I was able to mask off the outer area and inked up the background. The best thing is that I was able to add "faux Stitching" to the frame.

This card may be one-layer, but it has has color contrast and depth thanks to the String Art Die.
Whether you are in need of rectangle dies or love the stitching and string art, this die is awesome to have in your stash.

This lovely image was silver-embossed on vellum and colored with Altenew Artist Markers.

To match the colors of this image, I took out the Leaf Washi Tape for the backdrop.

 3. Featured products: Hello Winter and Wunderlust
Altenew-HelloWinter-Wunderlust-Virginia#1

I wanted to create an inky artsy wintery nature scene card.
First, I silver embossed the the mountains. I then partially stamped and silver-embossed the sentiment Winter.  After that, the trees were stamped in various of green.

The fun part was adding white splatter all over the card and left it to dry.
I love how it turned out.

 4. Featured products: String Art Heart Die, Precious Peony Stamp Set
Altenew-StringArtHeartDie-PreciousPeony-Virginia#1

With the Bubble Wrap Stencil and Precious Peony, I created a very artsy and detailed background.

I then embossed the String Art Heart Die and overlapped the two hearts. The gold hand-stitching really makes this card extra special. It did take some time to create. However, I find it so relaxing, especially I can do this in front of TV. If you can sew a button, you can do this!

I then gold-embossed the sentiment to complete the design.
So happy I was .... when I finished with the stitching.

I love blog hopping...I'm seeing the botanical dot leaves stamp shown in so many intriguing applications, but I'll have to say yours is a favorite.

What a beautiful set of cards!! I love card no. 2 and 4! The hearts one is so creative and lovely :)

Michelle Woerner said...

Virginia, these all are wonderful! The roses embossed in silver is sheer perfection!!

Kathy Dippner said...

Beautiful cards! Love the last one with the string art hearts crossed over each other.

Sherry said...

Oh man, normally when I'm this deep into a blog hop my eyes are starting to cross and I'm ready to bail (or I did bail 5 or 6 blogs in...), but there have been such talented people on this one, I'm still here, and I'm still impressed! Wow! Not a lot of people have chosen to highlight the Wanderlust set, but I'm so glad you did! Your card is so charming and lovely---and that little bit of spatter just completes it in the most satisfying way. But that heart card? Oh my. It's a wedding or engagement card suitable for someone VERY special. I love the way the pink polka dots from the Bubble Wrap stencil showcase the interlocking hearts, and the way the peonies are just peeking in from the sides--it's such a sweet card.

Sherry said...

And the first one! I have to mention that one...it is so beautifully autumnal with the sunlight filtering through the changing leaves...so effective!

jbatik2000 said...

I adore the precious peony stamp and die set. I can see so many uses for it. I also love the card with the heart. Very cute.
