Hugs – Rachel Vass Designs

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and this post finds you doing well! I am back sharing a new release from Rachel Vass Designs. The newest release is adorable and contains floral jars, you can see the set here in Rachel’s ETSY shop. I chose to work with the Eucalyptus Jar stamp to create a CAS design.

I started by working with my image in Microsoft word. I do all my editing here for my digital images. If you need any help, I am happy to help! I wanted to create a slim line card using this jar. Once my image was sized I printed my images on Canson Mixed Media paper. I have found this paper to be awesome lately when working with digital images, I can color shortly after printing and it can take layers on color too! I used my arteza brush pens for my card today. When my coloring was complete I added 2 embossed stripes on the right hand panel of my card using Rose Gold powder from Ranger. I did leave off small sections of powder to create some added interest. I then added splatters of gold and brown to my card.

I chose a Hugs sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp and cut this 3x on black card stock. I glued them together for added dimension and embossed them using the same Rose Gold powder. I then adhered my card panel to a black slim line card base and glued down my hugs sentiment as well. I added a sentiment from the new release as well to the inside of my card.

This completes my card for today! I hope you will visit Rachel’s ETSY shop to see this new release, plus many other beautiful stamps!

Doodle Flower – Rachel Vass Designs

Happy Release day – Rachel Vass Designs. Today I am sharing the new release April Doodle Flower from Rachel Vass designs. You can find this new stamp and all of Rachel’s designs at her etsy shop here.

I started by working with the doodle flower in Microsoft Word. I layered 2 of the flower images together to create the slim line card. I printed my images on Canson Mixed Media paper. I colored in my flowers using my Arteza real brush pens. I used a combination of yellow, orange, and red. I completed several layers of color on the paper. I have found with this paper I start with the ink on my paper and then after a couple layers I add the ink to my glass mat, then bring it to the paper. I have found this method to work well, as this paper is thinner. Once my flowers were complete I added white dots to the stamens of the flowers with my gel pen. I added splatters across the panel and set it aside to dry.

Once my panel was dry I adhered my panel to a black card case. I added stickles to the center of each flower for added shine. I hope you enjoyed this card and I encourage you to visit Rachel’s shop for this new release, plus many other beautiful designs.

Have a great day! Crafty hugs,

Natasha
