Natasha's Colorful Creations

Winter Flowers – Alex Syberia Designs

March 8, 2020

Hi everyone! I hope your having a great weekend! Today I am using the beautiful digital stamp Winter Flowers by Alex Syberia. I am attaching a link here to her store in etsy…. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign I love her stamps and her work! I am also participating in the Daily Marker 30 day challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin. I love this time and setting time aside for me to do what I love… COLOR!

I started by printing the Winter Flowers on Bristol smooth card stock. When working with digital stamps I like to print and let them sit for 24 hours before coloring. For this card I used my Tombow dual brush pens and then shaded in the nooks and crannies using my Arteza colored pencils. I die cut the card panel using a Gina Marie Designs die and then mounted the card on an A2 card base. I then wanted to add some extra shine so I used a Glitter embossing powder from WOW – Pearl Gold sparkle. I used an embossing pen to add embossing ink to the centers of each flower and added my glitter powder, then heat set.

I then used my metallic watercolors (from Hobby Lobby) to add splatters, I chose a purple and blue color to highlight the flower. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to add a sentiment, but I then decided to add one (it felt like it needed a little extra) – the sentiment is from The Gray Muse.

Supplies Used:

  • Stamps: Alex Syberia Designs (Winter Flowers), The Gray Muse
  • Paper: Bristol Smooth card stock, 120 lb Recollections for card base
  • Coloring Medium: Tombow Markers, Watercolors

Hope you have a great Sunday & a great start to your week! – Crafty Hugs,

Natasha

      Hi – I am so sorry for my delayed response. Yes I use Strathmore Bristol smooth. I change my setting to a heavy card stock setting and it has been ok! I truly appreciate your support!

        Thank you for your answer Natasha, I will try if I can change the settings in the hope the printer will print. Have a great day.

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!
