Botanical Backdrop Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hi there! Vanessa here today with a soft pastel card using the Botanical Backdrop Die. I am so ready for spring and have been enjoying a few warmer days! So I was in the perfect mood for creating this.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Botanical Backdrop Hello Word Die Hello Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I started with a card base made from watercolor paper and inked it with various watercolors. Then I added ink droplets and let it dry. Now I die-cut the leafy frame and colored the leaves. After I had adhered the frame to the card, I die-cut the flowers from purple cardstock, bend the petals upwards, added a white pearl to the center and adhered the flowers to the card.

I die-cut the Hello Word Die from watercolor paper, inked it, layered it with a word die-cut from purple cardstock and adhered it to the card. Finally, I added clear droplets.

Have you been enjoying spring days in your part of the world? I hope you'll get plenty soon! Thanks for visiting today :)

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm back with a birthday card that uses the beautiful Botanical Backdrop Die.

I started with a white A2 card base and die cut this leafy frame from two shades of purple cardstock. I snipped the lighter frame apart to fill in the empty spaces behind the darker frame.

Next, I created a reversed mask of the die by cutting it from masking paper. I adhered it to a panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock and sponged on the Distress Oxide Inks Milled Lavender and a little bit of Wilted Violet. I also added tiny ink splatters with a paint brush.

When everything was completely dry, I combined some sentiments from the Everyday Greetings set and stamped them in VersaMark Ink before heat embossing them with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I adhered the layered frame to the panel and embellished the card with Sparkling Clear sequins. You can't really see it on the photo, but I also added some Nuvo Pale Periwinkle Jewel Drops.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you next week!
