Advent Wreath

Hi everyone! :o)

I hope you're all well. :o) It's been quiet here on my blog for a week. I had quite busy schedule and I didn't find any time to write during the week.

Today I want to share with you my Advent Wreath. I arranged it last Saturday. :o)

My mom borrowed me a gorgeous white plate with golden stars and I bought white candles. All other stuff I used I had at home. I played around an hour and arranged everything on the plate. :o)

I love how it turned out!! :o)

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Enjoy and smile!! :o)

Jane's Doodles Spotlight Blog Hop

Hello everyone!! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Spotlight Blog Hop. Today we are featuring FIVE new stamp sets released into the store. FIVE!!! :o)

All Occasions

Angels

Bear Hugs

Free As a Bird

Hibiscus

Aren't they GORGEOUS!! Love them all! :o)


For today I prepared two cards featuring three new sets. :o)

My first card for today is this You're an Angel Card using stamps from super adorable 'Angels' stamp set. :o)

I inked a white cardstock paper panel with Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch. I inked it directly with ink cube and left it dry for couple hours. After drying, I trimmed the panel a bit, just to make it smaller than a card base. I heat embossed in white a sentiment and drew white dots and stars with white pigment ink on the panel and glued it on a white side folded card base.

Next up was an angel. I stamped the angel on a watercolor paper and colored her in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the angel and traced edges with a black marker. To make the image thicker, as I use think watercolor paper, I stamped another angel on the white cardstock paper, fussy cut the angel, traced edges with black marker and glued colored angel over it. I glued some foam on the back of the angel, glued the angel on card and my card was finished. :o)

Second card I created for today is this Thank You Card using 'Hibiscus' and 'All Occasions' stamp sets.

With some masking, I stamped gorgeous hibiscus flowers on a white watercolor paper. I stored masks to use them in my future projects. I colored gaps among flowers with black marker. Then I watercolored hibiscus flowers in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I glued the panel on a black top folded card base and drew white highlights on flowers with a white pigment ink. Lastly, I heat embossed in white on a black cardstock paper a sentiment 'Thank You', cut the stripe to a desirable size, added some foam on the sentiment stripe and glued it on the card.

I love how my card turned out and will definitely make more cards like this one using other Jane's gorgeous flowers. And there are so many... :o)

These would be my cards for today. At the bottom of this post you can find card measurements and detailed supply lists for my both cards. Link to this post will be in a right sidebar (Featured Post), until the Blog Hop ends. :o)
