Spellbinders 'Spring In Kyoto Collection' Designed by Alex Syberia Designs

 

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog where I'm sharing my second card for the absolutely stunning new collection from Spellbinders called 'Spring In Kyoto' which was designed by Alex Syberia Designs.  The release was inspired by the timeless elegance of Asian aesthetics and brings together simplicity, grace and charm.

This collection is so beautiful and something truly different to get creative with.  The release is available from both Alex Syberia Designs and Spellbinders and I have linked to the products in both shops below for your convenience.

Kokeshi Dolls Press Plate & Die Set

To create this card I took a panel of sturdy white cardstock and I used the Parasols BetterPress Plate but I hot foiled it in a silvery pewter hue.  I then used the coordinating stencils to ink blend the parasols and then I used the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set from Alex Syberia Designs to size down the panel and give the decorated edge.  I glued this panel to a larger mirrored silver panel and then this was glued to my prepared A2 card base.

I then used the Kokeshi Dolls Die Set and scraps of cardstock in colours that coordinated with the background that I had created but which packed a bigger punch.  After die cutting the different elements, I glued them together and backed the doll with dimensional foam tape and applied her to the background.

I took the pretty sentiment from the Kokeshi Dolls Press Plate & Die Set.  I die cut 3 times from sturdy white cardstock and then I die cut once more from the same mirrored silver cardstock I used as a panel.  I glued the words in stacks and then adhered them to the card and with that, this card was finished.

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  If you missed my first one with the collection you can find it HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
