Hello everyone… Welcome… I am so grateful to join a2z Scrapbooking as their guest for the Sugartree Stamps new release blog hop. And today I have couple cards that I create with the new their digital stamps.
On both of my cards I use the Farmhouse Digital Stamp Set. This set is packed with adorable farm images for the popular farm style projects. It is now available at a2z Scrapbooking Etsy Store.
My First card, I used the cold sweet tea mason jar image. Isn’t that adorable? This image so totally makes me want some of the cold brew sweet tea with some lemons!!!
I printed the image and sentiment on a heavyweight cardstock using my inkjet printer. I always heat set the printed images with craft heater and then coloring them. On this jar, I used Arteza Woodless Watercolored Pencils and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Brush. Can you see the glitter all over the jar?
I cut the green cardstock and patterend paper using ODBD Large Banner Dies Set. I added them on an A2 White Card with dries-clear adhesive glue, and then I added the jar and sentiment on it with 3D foam tapes. I finished this card with some gold sequins.
On my second card, I used the cotton branches in bottle image and sentiment blessed. I went with natural colors in this one.
I created the watercolored washe background with Ice Spurce Distress Oxide Ink Pad, water, and white acrylic paint splatters. I cut the watercolored panel with one of the Craftin’ Desert Divas Fancy Frames Dies and I added it on A2 White Card with dries-clear adhesive glue.
I printed the image and sentiment with my inkjet printer. I colored the image with Arteza Woodless Watercolored Pencils and waterbrush. For the sentiment I cut it with one of the ODBD Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.
I added the sentiment on the card first with adhesive glue, and then the flower bottle with 3D foam tape. I embellished the card with some of the clear dots.
