The Sisterhood of Crafters - It's the Thought That Counts

I got these new Altenew Perisian Motif stamps (and dies) and found this example, as usual, on Pinterest.
I stamped the different images around the 5 x 7 card and heat embossed them with gold powder. Then colored them with my Copics. I die cut the oval and stamped and embossed the senti that came in a set of sentiments and dies from Anna Griffin.

That's all for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.

I saw a card like this on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot, but when all was said and done, I just did not like the way it turned out. I originally blended the colors with inks and sponges, but it was just not working. Plus, I had to start over a couple times 'cause I messed it up, bumping colors where they weren't suppose to be, plus a few other blunders. It started vertically as a book fold, but on the 3rd attempt, I decided to turn it horizontally as a tent fold.  Finally, I resigned myself that this was not happening, so I just started fiddling with it. I took some copics and blended it in all the different colors, and this is how it came out.   I also added some reflecton on the water with a Sakura gold, glitter, jelly roll pen and gave the flamingo some bling too! (See 3rd photo.)

Then I thought it could use a sentiment and a flower.

                 Reflection

Then one of the challenges was on the beach, so I took apart another card and added some sand.

Then I thought it could use a palm tree, so I took the tree off the the same card that I took the sand.

Ya know, sometimes it's just best to go with the clean and simple!

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

*Stamp - leaves

I got these new Sue Wilson wine dies that I wanted to use. The glass and cork screw are from the Necessities Chianti set and the grapes and bottle is from the Necessities Merlot set. The cheese is from Spellbinders Wine Charms set, the Celebrate die is Anna Griffin, I got the leaves stamp from a seller on ebay and the white, scalloped background die is from Cheery Lynn's Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames. (DL 271) After I put it all together and photographed it and posted it, I realized that swiss cheese isn't a yellow cheese. Oops! I used my copics to color the grapes, glass, bottle and top of the cork screw, and I used some gold and silver gilding wax for the top of the bottle and bottom of the cork screw.

And that's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
