 Hello, crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a lovely card and tag set featuring the Anemone stamp from Pigment Craft Co. I went with a light pink and yellow color palette for this duo. To start, a cut a 4"x5.25" panel in white cardstock and made my own patterned paper using one of the stamps from Pattern Builder: Budding Branches . I then cut an A2 size panel in white cardstock and stitched these panels together using my sewing machine. I then stamped the anemones and leaves and cut with their coordinating dies. Next, I added more color to the flowers with Copic Y20. I adhered them onto the card and added sentiments from Stacked Sentiments: Best Ever . For the tag , I inked the flowers in pink and used the sentiments from Treat Yourself . Btw, I used Altenew Inks for my projects today. Thank you so much for stopping by!

 Hello friends! Hope you are all doing wonderful! Today, I have a couple of birthday cards using stamps from the Pigment Craft Co. May release. These were so fun to put together! For my first card, I started with a watercolored background and I ran it through my die-cut machine using Reverse Confetti die  for stitched details. I splattered black, white, and gold acrylic paint. The beautiful cake is from These Hands: Bake Cakes and I inked with Altenew ink pads.  The gold cake platter is inked with Color Box pigment ink in gold. I cut the large die from the stamp set to use as a guide for building the cake. For the sugar effect on the icing of the cake, I used Diamond Glaze to adhere Diamond Dust.

Lastly, I added some confettis for added interest.  For my second card, I started with a peach colored cardstock and used the same die mentio

I've been so busy with other things and completely ran out of time to make an anniversary card for him until now. It's better late than never, right? For this card, I used products from my new favorite company, Pigment Craft Co .  I started out by stamping the beautiful frame twice from the Wonderful Mom stamp set . I used the Bitty Dots stencil set in Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar distress oxide inks for the background. I colored the florals with Copic Markers - BG05/09/11/13, G61/63/57, and Y18. I then cut them with the coordinating die . I also cut 8 extras and stacked the florals up for dimension (2 per piece). This gives it a nice clean look, but you can also use foam tape for dimension. Next, I glued down the floral clusters to the corners of the frame. I also stamped a couple of little flowers from
