Floral cards

Good Morning all.  

Today is 2 cards i made with a stamp i was given for my birthday last year and i finally got around to using it - i was trying out my new altenew alcohol markers i got in the sales - as you know colouring isn't my forte as i don't have the patience but they are lovely pens to use

6x6 scalloped cardbase.  I first stamped and coloured the flowers and then cut them out - 1 full flower and 2 buds.  I die cut a square from white card and added some soft stencilling with oxide inks and then stencilled on gold dots with acrylic paint.  I stamped the sentiment in black and then matted onto a square of turquoise pearl card and then the base card.  I gently curved the flowers and arranged with glue gel. 

A close up of the flower - i did add some cosmic shimmer opal blaze which had just arrived in the post to the flower tips - think you can just make out the subtle shimmer

and version two is very purple

Items Used:
Crafters companion stamp set 'beautiful peony'
Sentiment stamps
Tattered lace square dies
Stencils - script, triangled & dots
Copper paint
Oxide inks - wilted violet, peacock feathers
Cosmic shimmer opal blaze 'golden blackberry & gilded avocado'
Altenew alcohol marker sets - 'seashore & shades of purple'

Thank you for stopping by once again.  Keep safe. Hugs Emmax
