Aya's Designs - Card Making

    Hi everyone! This lessons’ class calls for shine - bring it on!  I decided to go with a summery theme using Altenew's Daisies stencil set coupled with the retired Pocket Full of Sunshine crisp dye ink set.  To kick it up a notch, I applied  Mayan Gold shimmer paste to the center of the flowers.  The paste glided on so smoothly and evenly and dried to a beautiful, textured gold. I die cut the daisy panel and gold backing using oval stitched dies and stacked them on green textured paper.  My friends are celebrating their wedding anniversary, and I thought this would make the perfect card.  So I pulled "Celebrate" from Altenew's Scripted Sentiments set and framed it at the bottom of the card. I didn't to hide any of these beautiful daisies. This was a fun, simple card and I really enjoyed making it.  Till next time!    

Hi everyone, thanks so much for dropping by! Today's card topic is "For the Guys". I started with stamping and clear heat embossing Roaming Pandas . The panda's came out nice and shiny and the pigment ink won't smear because heat embossing seals the ink tight. To have options, I used embossing folder and stencil set Bamboo Branches on white and green panels. I ended up making cards from both! I ink-blended the stencil using Tropical Forest Crisp die ink. The white panel is bright and colorful and the green panel is beautifully subtle. Which do you like best?
