For today’s blog hop I created a quick and simple card using the newly released products: Bergenia Builder Stamp Set and Apothecary Labels Stamp & Die Bundle.

I started by stamping bergenia flowers and leaves with Permanent Black Crisp Ink onto a watercolour paper. Then I used Watercolor 36 Pan Set to colour the images in and then fussy cut them out.

I arranged the flowers and leaves in a shape of wreath and added my label shape from the Apothecary Labels Stamp Set. I stamped it with Obsidian Pigment Ink, heat embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder and die cut it with coordinating die.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Maryam Perez.

Altenew Special Offer:

So now, onto my card! For today's Blog Hop I created a simple, one layer birthday card. I started by using stripes from Watercolor Stripes Stencil and masking technique to create layers of my birthday cake. I simply used a sponge dauber over the stencil with Baby Pink and Yellow Ochre Crisp Dye Inks. Next, I stamped flowers from Ditsy Print Stamp Set on top of the cake and used Altenew Artist Markers Set A to colour the images in.

As a final step I added some details with black marker and stamped my sentiment from Birthday Builder Stamp Set.

That's it for me. Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Isha Gupta!
