Vintage Roses with Inktense Pencils

Hello my Crafty Friends,

 I have been quite silent in the blogland but that is because my girls and I are accompanying my husband to his work trip. I made these DT assignments well ahead and now I'm jus sharing these. So another fortnight has gone and it is my turn to host Altenew blog today. I decided to use Vintage Roses and Flowers set for this post. And of course, I just couldn't keep my pencils in their drawers.. so here is my card:
Stamps and dies used: Vintage Roses and Flowers, Doodle Blooms and coordinating die
and Sentiments and Quotes.

Stamps and dies used: Vintage Roses and Flowers, Doodle Blooms and coordinating die 
and Sentiments and Quotes.

I had to admit that this card reminds me of Formula One - I so should have used different colours. If someone is having trouble using these layering stamp sets (as I did LOL), I share at the video how I managed to get then lined up and look like a flower. These aren't my first attempts, so if you are having hard time layering these, you may consider using this guide here - it helped me a lot! 

You can watch my tutorial here or in HD in YouTube:



May I ask a favour? I have one more tutorial already planned for Altenew, do you have some ideas what you would like to see in them in the future? If do, please let me know them in the comments or email me. I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you!

 Supplies:
Stamps: Vintage Roses and Flowers, Doodle Blooms, Sentiments and Quotes.
Dies: Doodle Blooms die set, Vintage Flowers and Roses die set.
Inks: Altenew Crisp Inks - Buttercream, Warm Sunshine and Caramel Toffee, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades, Versafine Onyx Black
Paper: Canson Watercolour Paper 180gms, Neenah Solar White 80lb, 
Derwent Inktense Pencils: Sienna Gold (0240), Mid Vermillion (0310) and Light Olive (1540).
Copic Multi Liner 0.5 Black
Derwent Aqua Brush no.2

Thank you for stopping by today. See you soon!

    I am so pleased you showed you did this video as I would have been lost how to build up this set from all the single stamps. I find this hard. Your colouring details are superb and really make it your own. Hope you are enjoying your trip x

    The colour combination with the black, white and orange shades is so elegant and the stamped roses and leaves with the added Inktense pencil added details are really realistic and I love the added black leaves and the white embossed sentiment on the black running along the side stands out beautifully. A gorgeous card Marika. x

    This is stunning!! I am one who is has a rough time lining up and picking colors for those roses. However, I cannot buy any more die pads then I already have. I am waiting for the little ones to come back into stock so I can justify it. Thank you for your tutorial!!

    Such an amazing card, Marika! I appreciate your sharing just how you make these images your own. You have such a wonderful eye for know where to put the pencil colors! I also really appreciate the tips/techniques you showed in the video for creating the card. Lots of great details to make the design outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing. You definitely were missed. Wish I had an idea of what other videos you might create. I just enjoy whatever you create and would relish any techniques you might want to share. :)

    This is a comment you requested for Altenew...having just received my first "Vintage flowers" and struggling a bit, would love to have a larger and better quality "cheat sheet" that shows where the layers should be lining up and then do a video promoing that cheat sheet! thank you !

      Hello Catherine! Thanks for your comment. I am on vacation at the moment, I have to check before I can answer for sure which Canson paper I have. I tried to Google it but I'm not sure about the cover so I'll get back to as soon as I am home again. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for hinting me to another way of approaching those Altenew stamp sets! I've been trying so hard but I didn't get the hang of stamping them. At least I've never been satisfied with the outcome. I'll sure have to try your "additonal coloring" trick.
