Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello Crafty Friends!  Put simply - I adore this stamp set! Persian Motifs from Altenew - beautiful images, so easy to colour and the colour combinations you can use for this flower are endless! This stamp set looks stunning coloured with Polychrolo Pencils on Kraft card (by now you will know how much I love kraft card!!) and re-stamped and embossed in gold embossing powder. I began this card by stamping the 3 flower images from the set, using my original Misti, with Momento Potters Clay ink (a light distress ink will word too). IMPORTANT: keep your stamps in your Misti where they are - later you will go back and re-stamp the images, so they need to stay in place! Next I coloured the images using Polychromos. When the colouring was done, I placed the card back into my Misit and re-stamped the images with Versamark Ink , then gold embossed . I then die cut them with the corresponding dies . I made a frame from green cardstock with my mft Stitched Rectangles ...

Hello Crafters! Ali here  ( alilovescardmaking ) with the perfect card for book-lovers - a card and bookmark set! To make this card, I used the adorable Our Story stamp set and dies from My Favorite things.The card has a matching removable bookmark on the top right corner, making it a card and gift in one! I began the card by stamping out the girl on the chair, lamp, bookstack (x2) and dog, in a light ink such as Antique Linen distress ink on Kraft cardstock. I coloured them with my prismacolour pencils and die-cut them out with the corresponding dies.  . To make the bookmark, I created a simple template (below). I used the widths shown for the bookmark (I had previously used a similar template from StampingMathilda). The lenght is up to you depending on how much you want showing at the 'back' of the bookmark (you can cut the back 'overhang' off altogether to simply form a triangle bookmark if you wish). Fold the top corners down at the halfway mark...
