Hello and welcome!
I have another slimline card today featuring stamps from Altenew's "Celebrations" stamp set.
I needed a card for a mother-to-be so I took the sentiments "for the bride to be" and "for the new mother" from this set and combined them to make "for the new mother to be." I think it turned out okay, as I am always a little nervous when I take my scissors to any stamp set I really like!
Here's a closer view:
The coloring was done with, (please don't laugh) Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils. I had bought these for Bible journaling because they don't bleed through the delicate pages of my Bible and I thought I'd pull them out and use them on this card. Since I wasn't planning on doing any shading on the coloring and wanted a kind of lighter delicate look to the coloring.
I also used a black pen to add some dots for fun plus a gingham black and white ribbon to the top of the tag. The tag die is not linked below as it is a retired die from My Favorite Things set.

If you do any Bible journaling, these very inexpensive pencils (Crayola Twistable) are perfect for a "no bleed-through" look and are not damaging to the thin pages of your Bible. Plus they are erasable which is awesome if you change your mind or make a mistake!
I have linked my supplies below if you are interested.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another beautiful slim line card design. The colors and images are wonderful. That is a wonderful tag at center stage.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on customizing your greeting. And you colored your images beautifully! I used to love twistables (we used the crayons) when my kids were younger; they were always sharp with no paper pealing- lol!
ReplyDeleteReally fun slimline card! I love using small stamps to make backgrounds and you did it perfectly. Thank you for joining us at The Card Concept!
ReplyDeleteLove your slimline card, Angie! A beautiful way to use those Altenew images. Thanks so much for sharing with us for our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this, Angie. The stamped background, the hand dotted paper and the sentiment surgery. It looks so cute together.
ReplyDeleteThis rocks, Angie! I love that you used the Crayola Pencils to color your flowers and I love the back dots and b/w gingham ribbon! Everything is intentional and fun and perfect for a BTB! Way to go doing creative surgery on your stamps and thank you for sharing at NBUS! Take care and keep safe. Hugs, Darnell
