Welcome to the Reverse Confetti August New Release Blog Hop!
stamp sets & dies, which are now available to purchase!
First of all, I have a card that I made by combining the Forever In Our Hearts
and Toucan of Friendship stamp sets.
I inked up my sentiment from Forever In Our Hearts using
three different shades of ink, washi tape for masking and my MISTI.
I diecut an All Framed Up Confetti Cuts frame and blended the same
three shades of ink onto it, using my blending tool to created an ombre effect.
As a finishing touch, I stamped the flower from Toucan of Friendship
beneath my sentiment.
I have three cards to share that I made pairing him with other sets
from the release.
I couldn't resist combining them together to make a card.
I stamped the sentiment/image from Just Brew It directly onto my card panel
and added a strip of black along the bottom.
I diecut the Coffee and You Confetti Cuts elephant and stamped him
with the coordinating Coffee and You in versafine onyx black onto
watercolour paper and heat embossed it in clear.
I used my Zig Markers and a water brush to colour him in.
Next, I combined Coffee and You with Cute As A Button.
I started with a piece of Becky Higgins patterned paper as my base.
On it, I stamped the super sweet sentiment from Cute As A Button.
I diecut and coloured in the elephant using the same technique as above,
but I did a little masking to mask off the coffee cup on his trunk.
And lastly, I combined Coffee and You with Forever In Our Hearts.
I created some interest by dieting a bunch of frames using All Framed Up Confetti Cuts
and stamped the sentiment from Forever In Our Hearts in one of them.
I used the same technique as above to diecut, mask and colour my elephant
-- but this time in blue!
I love how this card turned out!
Okay, that's it for me for today.
