One Stamp Three Ways

Hello Everyone!
Is it too early for Easter preparations? I figured since there is Christmas in July I am most likely too late with my Easter cards. Although I am hoping that I am right on time. ;)

I am sharing these three cards on Studio Katia Blog today. I decided to feature beautiful Floral Cross stamp Katia released last year. Making Easter cards with it is so easy and fun!

For the first card I decided to use masking. I made two masks: one for full image and one for flowers only. I covered stamped image with full mask and using Light Ray Stencil and Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink added rays around the image. I also added a bit of shading around the whole image using Squeezed Lemonade Oxide Ink. Next, I removed the mask, stamped the sentiment and covered flowers with masks to add some ink blending to the cross using Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink. I also lightly ink blended edges of the whole panel, so it would have a more finished look. I added few yellow crystals and adhered finished panel onto a yellow card base.

For the second card I decided to make a shaker. I die cut out a panel out of blue cardstock using my favourite die from Dotted Patterns Set 3 and die cut a window in it using die from Dotted Patterns Set 2. Using same die from the Set 2 I die cut a thin frame and a word Easter out of a silver glitter cardstock. I heat embossed the image on a heat resistant acetate using WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder and glued the acetate and the blue frame together. I coloured the image on the wrong side using Altenew Artist Markers. After adding double layer of foam tape I filled my shaker with silver and rainbow confetti. For the shaker background I added light rays using Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink and Light Ray Stencil. I wanted to add something that would add a bit of an interest to the card and at the same time would not steal the show from the heat embossed image. I decorated the front of my shaker card with silver glitter frame and a word Easter.

For the third card I decided to play with my Derwent watercolour pencils. I love using WOW Metallic Platinum and WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder with watercoloring. I think it looks much more elegant than plain black stamping. Here I used my favourite WOW Metallic Platinum powder. After colouring the image I simply foam mounted it onto a green card base and adhered the word Easter die cut out of golden glitter paper. I also added few clear drops which always perfectly complement watercoloured images.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day and a fantastic weekend!
