Winners will be announced on the Alex Syberia Designs blog on the 23rd October 2022.

For today’s project I am using the beautiful Life is Good stamp set, as well as the Fancy Cover die! I started by stamping the large floral image onto Canson watercolor paper. I stamped the image and then heat set using clear embossing powder. I colored the image using watercolor pencils. I worked in layers, coloring from lightest to darkest, allowing each layer to dry in-between. Once the floral was complete, I die cut the image using the coordinating die.

Next I chose a pre-made background from stash. I die cut the background using the Fancy Cover die. I then chose a coordinating purple piece of cardstock and adhered this to the back of the die cut panel. I distressed the edges of the panel and added ink to the edges for a distress look.

Next I added a few metallic splatters to my floral piece. Once dried, I applied foam tape to the back of the floral image. Then I stamped the sentiment Life is Good from the stamp set onto a scrap piece of a gelli print. I stamped the image and heat set using clear embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die. To complete my card I adhered the panel onto an A2 card base and attached the sentiment and floral image as well. I had so much fun creating using these amazing new release sets from Alex!

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out the campaign! I LOVE this release! Be sure to check out the Kickstarter event and support Alex in manufacturing her release!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out all the AMAZING inspiration and be sure to comment along the way!

Crafty Hugs!

For today’s project I am using the beautiful Leaf Prints stamp and coordinating die set. For the leaves I stamped the leaves using Distress Inks.  I applied the inks to the leaves in various colors and spritzed the stamp with water before stamping. I repeated the process until I had the colors I was looking for. Next I die cut them using the coordinating dies.  For the background I used the Margot Tile embossing folder! I adhered the layers together, added cheesecloth,  and cardboard behind the leaves for added texture. I completed the card with a sentiment and splatters! 

Be sure to check out all the beautiful inspiration! 💕💕💕💕
