Hi everyone! Welcome to the Zen Garden Ink Release Blog Hop Day 1! You should have arrived here from Catherine's blog. If you started on my blog, the complete hop list is below.
Not only is Catherine releasing 8 new ink colors that go beautifully with the previously released Paradise Found Spa Collection, but she is also releasing stamps/dies, a stencil and a brand new Cover plate die.
My first card features the Zen Feather stamp set and matching dies.
To create my card, I stamped the amazing feather twice onto a piece of white card stock using black ink. While I had my black ink out I stamped the sentiment.
I then stamped and white heat embossed the feather onto some water color card stock. Using my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, I scribbled the colors onto the feather in rainbow order, spritzed with water to blend the colors. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I attached it to my card with foam tape.
Added some black and white twine to finish off my card.
My next cards feature the Chevron Cheer stamp set.
I stamped the amazing chevron oval stamp using the new Rose Petals ink pad, I then stamped the sentiment using Midnight ink and the flowers using the same ink color as the chevron oval. I then used the awesome border stamp in the set to stamp a border on the top and bottom of my card. I think that added stamping adds so much to this one layer card.
I had a blast creating these similar, yet different cards. These would make an awesome gift set for someone special, don't you think?
