I only own three Betterpress plates, one came with the Spellbinder system, and two are part of Altenew's Dainty Flower Garden set. Both sets include a few sentiments, although for today's cards, I used Altenew's One-Go Birthday Greetings, a new set I'm quite sure will get a lot of use. There are 12 sentiments on one stamp and one die that cuts them all out. I love having an envelope filled with sentiments ready to go. Both cards are very similar and both were watercolored with Zig Watercolor markers.
The blue card went in the mail earlier this month, and I know my friend received it. So it's time to get these cards off to a couple of challenges.
The Betterpress cardstock is perfect for watercoloring. I tried not to add too much water, and let it dry completely between layers. I just trimmed down the sides of this one and added it to a navy card base.
Sometimes it's good (and easy) to CASE yourself, so here is the orange edition.
This time I used Gina K's Master Layout one dies to cut the impressed panel as well as a black panel which gives it a lovely narrow border. I added it to a card base of Orange Zest.
The blue card is off to Addicted to Stamps and More. The challenge is for birthday cards. And the orange card is off to Less is More. The challenge is Orange!
I'm sending them both off to the NBUS August Challenge since this is the sentiment set's debut.
