I have a love of circles & halftones so naturally I was drawn to this stencil & stamp set by Altenew! Circle overload? Ah maybe. But that’s ok, it came out as a fun design I think!

Materials –

Halftone Circle Stencil – Altenew
Trendy Circles Stamp Set – Altenew
Crisp Dye Inks – Altenew
Rose Gold Embossing Powder

I used the stencil for the background and ink blended the blues shown in the photo to get a gradient.

I attached it to the front of an A2 card base with foam tape for a bit of depth.

I chose 3 circles from the Trendy Circles Stamp set and embossed with the rose gold embossing powder, I cut them using my Brother Scan & Cut machine. There was a little bit of fussy cutting involved! I attached those with more foam tape, doubling up on the larger circle.

Double the foam tape – double the height!

I then stamped out the sentiment and adhered it so the end was tucked under the bottom circle. All done!

I love this stamp set & stencil and it will definitely get more use out of me!

Take care and see you soon!

Hello! Similar to a design I recently did, I’ve gone and done another, why? Because I just love these splash stamps and the simplicity of the leaf design! It’s a fun, quick, easy way to create a card at the end of the day if you are short on time! Many people seem to love simple cards, and I am one of those people! (Now don’t get me wrong I love making complex colored stamp cards and cutting with my Brother Scan & Cut but simple is so fun!)

Materials:

Crisp Dye Inks – Altenew
Inky Bouquet Stamp Set – Altenew
Leaf Clusters Stamp Set – Altenew
Painted Rainbow Stamp Set – Altenew
A2 Vertical Cut Card
Sentiment Stamp – Altenew
Black Versafine Ink

And that’s it! Though it sounds like a lot more than it is…it’s a simple design that can be modified to suit what you have I think! Of course you can also make those pretty colorful splashes of color with watercolor on watercolor card stock, or draw them with markers!

The color combinations can be endless as well as the sentiment! Experiment with different leaf stamps & splashes of color!

I am really loving playing with these stamps and I find myself reaching for them especially when I am crunched for time and just want to create something after a long day.

Have fun and stay crafty!
