Autumn Floral Slimline Card

For this card I started off by die cutting the floral border from Spellbinders Large Die of the month 04/21in 110lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock.  
Then I grabbed a 8.5"x4" panel (same cardstock)  and I used my Finger Brushes and blended with Distress inks Fossilized Amber, Crackling Campfire, Aged Mahogany,  Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans, Walnut Stain & Black Soot. Then I took the coordinating floral dies snd cut out some white felt florals. 
Before I glued them down I took Waffle Flowers Oversized Grace & Kindness set and bent the 1st part of the sentiment. This took a few times as I stamped it ON TOP of acetate 1st which was laid on top of my panel EXACTLY so if it was crooked i could fix it before screwing it up,lol.
I heat embossed it by using Versamark & WOW clear Embossing powder. I die cut "Kindness" in black cardstock and stacked the shadow 3x for dimension. 
I then glued that ink blended piece (trimmed down to fit under the floral panel) onto my 8.5"x 
3.5" cardbase. I added a white mat which is 1/8" smaller than cardbase. Then another black mat which was 1/8" smaller than the white one. Lol. Im not good with measurements so I just go down 1/8". Then my ink blended panel was, you guessed it, 1/8" smaller. Once it was sll glued down I added my felt flowers and Trinity Stamps Something New pearls to the centers. 
I really like how this card came out. So I made two! Last pic is the 2nd one. 
I love the fall colors. 🍁🌈 
I hope you like it too!
Stay crafty my friends🌞🎨❤

No Line Copic Coloring

Ok so lets face it, no line coloring is without a doubt a commitment of time. However the results are always beautiful. 
I started off stamping the image with a light gray ink. 
One that I can see but can be covered by coloring. I used a copic friendly Fog ink. 
I stamped it onto 110lb Neenah cardstock from cutcardstock. 
Then i started off with the sunflowers. I used 3 shades of yellow (YR23,YR24,YR27)
Im not the best at it but I enjoy it. 
Then for thr tulips I used 3 deep reds (R56,R39,R59)
The Greens were (YG03,YG17,YG67)
The background I colored using some light blues (B000,B00,B02)
And a couple browns for the flower centers. I used a white Gelly roll pen to add highlights and "splatter dots" for a bit of interest.
I die cut the "thanks" 3x with black cardstock (135lb Epic Black Classic Crest) from cutcardstock 
And on top I added black glossy cardstock. 
The shadow is vellum which i die cut with double side adhesive on it so the glue wouldnt show.
I added some clear droplets and thats it. 
I hope you like it & thanks for stopping by!
Hugs🤗🌼
