Lovely Layers Rainbow Rose | Valentine's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dear friends, and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, this is my first post for 2022 and of course, I had to start off with a Rainbow Rose inspiration🌹🌈😁

Today's card could be used for any occasion, but I did pair it with a "love you" sentiment from the new Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine to make it a valentine's Day Card. 

CARD RECIPE

To begin I die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Roses and then Ink Blended each layer of the petals using Atelier Inks from Inkon3, see thumbnails below.

For the petals, I first used Goddess Green Ink and then went back in with Trinity to darken some of the petals and stems.

I used foam tape to build up the petals of the rose, leaving the center free of foam so that I could add glue to it and pinch it together with reverse tweezers until the glue dried. This gives the rose some fan-like dimension. And, yes this does make the card super bulky. So this would be one card that would have to be hand-delivered or you'd have to put it in a "box of roses". This rose would also look amazing in a frame too! Check out my previous lovely layer frames HERE.

For the background, I used a few of the stencils from the Layered Lace Layering Stencils to add Moonstone Paste and create some glittery borders on the card front.

The "love you" stamp comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine set that was stamped on black cardstock using white ink and embossing PWD. It then was die cut using one of the smaller banners from the Sentiment Banner Dies.

To finish this beauty, I added some of my favorite sequins for even more sparkle and shine.

I hope I didn't disappoint you with this rainbow rose creation. I am absolutely in love with it and hope you are too!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Thankful For You Slimline Card | Inkon3

Happy Thanksgiving to my crafty American Friends!

Here in Canada, we had our celebration already but many of you that I have come to know and love over the years are from the US, so this post is dedicated to you. Here are some colorful maple leaves to represent the Canadian in me that is thankful for you!

Today's slimline card features the new Thankful For You Stamp set and a few of the new mini ink cubes from Inkon3. 

To make this card, 

• I stamped out the solid stamp of the maple leaf using a different ink of the mini ink cubes each time slightly overlapping one to the next (see links below for colors).
• Next, I prepped the entire panel with an anti-static bag to do some heat embossing.
• I went back over each leaf and stamped the outline using Juicy Ink and then heat set the lines using Gold Rush Emb. Pwd.
• For the sentiment, I stamped out the Thankful using Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink and then heat set it using Arctic White Emb.Pwd. which was then fussy cut and glued in place with black foam dots.
• I then trimmed the slimline panel and added it to another Gold Glitter panel that was then glued to the card base.
• To finish off this card I added a few gold pearls.
