Celebrate, You Deserve It

Hey everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today with another fun sneak peek of one of the upcoming sets in the April release! It’s called Missing You and it’s beautiful! I had some fun watercoloring with reinkers, which I had never done before.

Having no idea what I was doing, I added a few drops of ink on my glass mat and then added some water to it. I kind of loose watercolored blobs all over my paper, drying it in between layers, and then stamped the floral images with VersaFine onyx black ink once they were dry. Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut the shapes out and moved on to die cutting my background.

I cut the plaid slim line panel from kraft card stock and used the EZ squeeze glue to adhere it to a white card base. Then I laid my images out how I wanted, gluing the leaves down and popping the flowers up with foam squares. I trimmed the excess off the edges with my scissors and decided on a sentiment.

For that, I stamped it, then found a perfect size oval from the Layered Oval set to cut it out with. To help it pop a little, I cut the next size up from kraft cardstock and glued them together. Then I popped them up with foam squares.

Keeping things simple, I finished this card off with some gold Wink of Stella on the flower centers. I love the shimmer this gives in the light.

I can’t wait for you all to see the entire release this month. It’s another show stopper!!! Be prepared! Check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks all the way up until the release goes live on April 20!

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
