Welcome to Waffle Flower’s February 2021 Release day! I’m blog hopping with the folks from Waffle Flower to show you all the fun new stuff awaiting you on the Waffle Flower website! This month, the Waffle Flower release is full of stamps, dies, and stencils that celebrate the hope and joy of Spring!
You can’t celebrate Spring without fresh flowers and leaves like those in the Crocus Stamp Set (stamp, die, combo), Hopeful Girl Stamp Set (stamp, die, combo), Spring Blooms Stencil-n-Stamp (stencil-n-stamp, die, combo), and Spring Leaves Die (die). To complement the Spring flowers there’s the A2 Lacy Layers Die (die), Lacy Circles Die (die), and Lacy Ovals (die) sets with delicate scalloped edging. For the stitchers, there’s the Oval Embroidery Hoops Die (die) and coordinating Stitchable Pinking Oval Die (die). The warmer days of Spring also inspire the images and messages of hope and faith in the Caring Hands Stamp Set (stamp, die, combo), Caring Hands Sentiments (stamp), Oversized Hope Stamp Set (stamp, word die, combo), and Lighthouse Stencil-n-Stamp Set (stencil-n-stamp). To round out the release, there are two new alphabet dies, Tower Outline Alpha Die (die) and Retro Outline Alpha Die (die), and two new background stencils, Spotlight Oval Stencil (stencil) and Sunburst Stencil (stencil).
I love Karla's illustrations and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I stamped the beautiful tulips from the Crocus Stamp Set with Distress Ink -Antique Linen on Arches cold press watercolor paper. It is such a realistic image and I decided to paint it in muted water colours.I love adding paint splatters on my cards as they give a very beautiful artistic touch. I decided not to add any sentiment on this card and will stamp a suitable one inside it. To finish the card I matted it on Neenah desert storm card base.
For the second card I stamped the same floral image from the Crocus Stamp Set on Neenah Solar white card with Momento Tuxedo black ink. I coloured the image with bright red and green shades of copic markers.I added a simple heat embossed sentiment on black thin strip.
For my next card I used the Hopeful Girl Stamp Set which is my absolute favourite. I stamped the beautiful image with Distress Ink- Antique Linen on some Arches Cold Press Watercolour Paper. I used my Daniel Smith colours to do the watercolouring.I matted the coloured panel on some Neenah Desert storm paper and finished the card with a tiny sentiment.
Here is a close up of the card....
The next card is super adorable and I have used the same set but with a totally different look. I used the bunny and the floral bunch for this card and colored the images with copic markers.I used the co-ordinating dies to cut the images out.For the oval card base I used the LACY OVALS DIE and STITCHABLE PINKING OVAL and adhered the coloured images with foam tape.I love the cute card and the white spaces on it.
For my last card I created a CAS card using the CARING HANDS STAMP SET and the CARING HANDS SENTIMENT. I just stamped the hands with Black ink and coloured it with copic markers.
