Create.Swap.Share Monthly Card Swap

Good Morning,

Happy Friday to you all, I cannot believe that the first week of February 2021 is already over…

Today I am sharing with you a recent swap from the Create. Stamp. Share (soon to be Stamp n’ Create Swaps UK) group I am a part of. Each month a theme is dreamt up by a volunteer and then we all decided if we would like to participate, once the deadline for participation has closed, it is then confirmed how many swaps we make, we then send these to the volunteer who distributes these to us all.

It is a lovely way to get a cute package of cards and loads of inspiration!

If you would like to participate in the February Floral Swap please head over to the group page HERE.

So for January this was the theme picked….

I decided to use the Sweet Strawberry stamp set again this time, I just had a vision as soon as I saw the theme and I knew that this set would work.

And here is what I came up with:

Using the following colours and Fluid 100 watercolour paper, I stamped the image and sentiment on with Stazon black ink and then with the Water Markers I washed the colours over the paper in a rainbow order, blending these in together as I went.

I then finished the card by mounting the Fluid 100 paper onto Basic Black cardstock layer and a Thick Whisper White cardbase.

Then I punched out the strawberry flower from the Sweet Strawberry Bundle punch and adhered a Magenta Madness or Misty Moonlight In Colour 2020-2022 Enamel Dot as the flower centre.
