Fiskars Asian Inspired Lantern Cards

These cards were made using the Chinese lantern from the Fiskars Asian Inspired stamp set. I stamped the lantern onto watercolour paper with Jet Black Stazon and then water coloured them with distress markers. I fussy cut around each lantern.

I then grabbed some DCWV white core cs in a nice yellow colour trimmed to card size and ran it through my bug with the Cuttlebug Lanterns embossing folder. I then used my Tim Holtz sanding block to sand the raised images and show the white core of the cs. I adhered the lanterns with foam squares and they were finished . . .

Well they should have been finished hahaha. One card I stuck the embossed base on the card upside down so I had to fix that. That's bad enough, however the next card I not only stuck the base upside down, I stuck the lanterns on the base upside down as well . . . I took my heat tool and heated everything up so the tape would release easier and fixed it all up lol . . .

Just a Quick Post

Just wanted to share really quickly a quick card that could be used as a sympathy card or a get well card maybe.

I stamped the background with seedless preserves, the stamp is a Fiskars Cherry Blossom Background from the Asian Inspired set. I stamped off on a scrap before stamping onto my card. The flower flourish is a Tim Holtz stamp from the Urban Chic set. I triple stamped the image, each on offset from the other, without reinking.

I stamped my sentiment and then cut both the flower flourish and the sentiment with lifestyle crafts labels dies, I backed each with purple cs that matches the mid tone of the stamping. The sentiment is adhered with foam tape to lift it off the page.
