All the Best

A colleague moved onto other things and I made her a card that our team gave her along with a little parting present. This beautiful flower is from the Alex Syberia Designs set Tulips Treasure. I stamped it onto a panel die cut with an MFT die and coloured it with my Copics. I then put the die back in place and inked the panel lightly with Distress Oxide ink in Old Paper. The background panel is die cut with a Penny Black die All-in-One Oval and the sentiment (translates as 'All the Best for the Future') is heat embossed onto a strip of dark grey cardstock. I embellished the card with some half pearls.

Something New

Happy New Year! This is my first card of 2025 and I wanted to try something new with it, namely the size. This is a mini slimline card, approx. 14,8 x 7,3 centimetres in size. Such a fun size to work with! I also used some new-to-me stamps on it, these beautiful florals are from Rainbow Floral stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio. I coloured the images with my Copics before die cutting them. The patterned paper in the background is from a paper pad by Carta Bella, I die cut it with Lawn Fawn's Small Mini Slimline Stackables dies. The die cut sentiment is in Finnish and translates as 'Congratulations'. I die cut it three times and adhered them on top of each other for a little dimension. I also added some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen on the die cut sentiment, it gives such a beautiful shimmer which unfortunately doesn't show on the photo. I embellished the card with some gold glitter gems.
