Love you

I'm on the @alexsyberiadesigns blog today, showcasing the beautiful 'Spring In Kyoto' release from @teamspellbinders designed by @alexsyberiadesigns.

The release is available on the @alexsyberiadesigns stores alexsyberiadesigns.com from the US or alexsyberiadesigns.co.uk for the rest of the world.

Alex Syberia Designs and Spellbinders products:
Kokeshi dolls press plate and dies
Cherry blossoms press plates and dies
Blossoms and sentiments press plates and dies

Ranger Distress oxides: Spun sugar, Kitsch flamingo and Festive berries

To create this card, I first stamped the kokeshi doll and Cherry blossoms on Copic-friendly cardstock and black ink.

I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut the images.

For the sentiment, I used the Blossoms and sentiments press plate which I hot foiled on red cardstock with Spellbinders white matte foil. I then used the coordinating banner die from the set.

For the background, I cut a panel 4" by 5.5" from white cardstock and blended Distress oxides Festive berries, Kitsch flamingo and Spun sugar to create a gradient from top to bottom.

I adhered the panel onto the cardbase, glued the sentiment with liquid adhesive, and finally adhered the cherry blossoms and doll with foam tape.
