Feature products #1: Rattan Stripes Die, Swamp Buttercup Stamp & Die & Stencil

.Altenew-Rattan Stripes Die-Swamp Buttercup Stamp & Die & Stencil 

There are SO many things to look at in this card...let's start with the focal point, shall we?
The die and stencil (a MUST) are beautiful combo.

Can you believe that there was NO STAMP involved in this card? I love the mix of colors from the stenciling.  If you love stencil and die-cutting, you must try this combo.

Next, it's about that Rattan Stripes Die... Those stripey details are so delicate and cool.

I love that all you need it run the entire cover die through the diecut machine and you have an instant intricate stripey background.

πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘----->The leftover strips are keepers, too! You can use them for sentiments and embellishments...! I am sure you do not need much convincing on this cover die. Enough said.
 
Feature products #2: Rattan Stripes Die, Boho Arrow Stamp & Die Bundle, Glacier Coves A Washi Tape

Altenew-Gradient Washi Tape - Glacier Caves-Rattan Stripes Die-Boho Arrow Stamp & Die Bundle-Glacier Coves A Washi Tape -001 
 
First of all, have you tried Rose-gold Embossing Powder? Yeah, that's what I did here.

 As for the blue background? They are from Blue Watercolor Washi Tape. EASY!

I may have embossed two times at least to ensure the heavy-embossing. Once embossed, I ink-blended some colors into the feathers.

Oh... and the stripey lines? They were dry-embossed with the Rattan Stripe Cover Die (I know, right?)

First of all, this Boho Vases Die Set is just so versatile and fun. I did inks-spraying with the leafy greens. For the vase, I went for multiple-inking.

To make the vase shine even more, I added a piece of Silver Metallic card-stock underneath.

Notice the beautiful Masonry Wall 3D Embossing Folder ?

 I love the understated design of Masonry Wall 3D Embossing Folder. No matter how you use it, this embossing folder gives a sophisticated vibe!

Your cards as just as amazing, and maybe even more amazing, then they were a few years ago. I'm so glad to see you are still posting lovely projects on your blog. I backed off from stamping for about 3 years and am ready to get back into it. I have a folder with links/emails for my (then) favorite blogs and am re-subscribing. I have a lovely 2014 email in response to a comment I left on your blog.

Awesome cards! Love the stripes and ombre background on your first card, and the boho vase card also really catches my eye!
