Hi! It’s time for our Collected Crafty Collabs hop for the month of October and it’s also time to dig through my stash and find something I haven’t used for a while 🙂

Theme for this month is Thankful and/or Foil/Shiny element.
For my card I chose to use a stamp set from Wplus9 called “Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias” that I used probably just once … two years ago (or a bit more?). I stamped and heat embossed the image in Brass embossing powder by WOW! on Bristol smooth paper and I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color. This time I went with a blender pen, just because I rarely use it. The sentiment is from an older Tonic Craft kit and I heat embossed it using the same Brass embossing powder.
For the shiny element on my card I used gold paper from my stash (I bought tons of it long ago but because it’s so thin, I don’t really use it) and also shiny sequins by Tonic Studios.


Here is a quick video tutorial:

Gorgeous card Bory! I really love every single detail – specially the metallic sentiment against the black cardstock.
Thank you very much, Anna ❤️! This card is a bit out of my comfort zone but I am quite happy with the result 🙂
Bory,
Your card is just lovely! Your coloring is beautiful, the layout perfectly showcases those flowers, and the touches of foil/shine are just right! I’m so thankful that you hop along with us each month! 🙂
Oh thank you! I’m so thankful for you too, sweet Marie ❤️

Bory your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love florals and don’t make enough cards using the floral stamps I have. Thanks so much for giving me a reminder and a push to get those out!
Thank you so much, Teresa ❤️
Gorgeous!
Thank you ❤️
So, so pretty, Bory! Loved to see how you used an older stamp set (which I own and love) and the foil paper you wouldn’t normally use! The results are so pretty!!! I love your coloring and you have inspired me to pull out my Zigs for a future month’s hop! I’m so thankful to have you hopping with us!
Thank you so much, sweet Karen! I love these hops because the talent and creativity I see on each stop, just amazing ❤️ I am always inspired to try out something new or something old and forgotten 🙂 Cannot wait for the next hop!
Absolutely gorgeous Bory!!!! 😍😍
Your colouring is gorgeous and I love how you have cut the sentiment!!
I have lots of papers like that too, where it is really thin so I don’t end up using it…Great idea to use for matting instead!
Thank you very much, Tasha ❤️
