Today I share 2 cards showing how you can use stones in papercrafting! This is part of my Take 2 with Therese video series with Altenew and if you haven’t caught any of these videos before I have a link to my playlist with more inspiration HERE.
Stones you say? Why Yes, kinda like stones…. well, the Stone Mosaic Stamp Set actually lol. My first card uses the layers almost as intended and you can see what I mean if you watch the video below.
I used the Nesting Labels Die to cut out my ‘stone’ piece and added a Weekend Doodles flower which was coloured with Altenew Artist Markers.
The sentiment was die cut in Gold Foil Cardstock using the Signature Words Die.
My second card is very different as I used the Stone Mosaic stamp to create a background and I used pastel colours…. so unlike me!
I added a Versatile Vase and a Poppy Garden flower which I coloured with the Watercolor Palette.
mmmmm… still loving these sentiments from Simply the Best and my Obsidian black ink!
Could these cards be any different…… they are both shared in the video below.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD on YouTube.

Absolutely love both cards. I didn’t order the Stone Mosaic set as I didn’t think I’d use it. Now I’ve seen it in action, I want it. I tried not to order everything this month as I never get round to using it all, but I can see it’s futile to resist. Your work is always beautiful.
(By the way, my Turnaround kit arrived this morning, together with the Holly Berry)
Love yiur stone mosaic cards! I am partial to the poppy though.
I hope you are out of harms way with all the fires burning in eastern Australia!
This stamp set has some good sentiments too. Maybe Santa can supply if I can get on the nice list. I liked the idea of adding a little gold for shine.
Gorgeous, two times, Therese!! I know you will be shocked – I like the pastels the very most!! I know, a shocker, right?? xx

How gorgeous! Love the pastel background in the second card. Is the “hello” die super fine? and the doodle flowers are so pretty.
Side note I hope you are safe from the fires happening at the moment.
Oh WOW!! Therese, both cards are gorgeous and unique, my favorite though is the one with the big flower in the flower vase, these beautiful vases are on my Santa’s List, they are indeed so versatile.
Thank you for sharing your video, as always, it’s a joy to see you creating your amazing cards.
Sending hugs.
Maria.
The stone is such a unique accent to the wonderful flowers, Therese. I love that big pink one in the vase.
These are gorgeous – that stone mosaic stamp is really versatile
Lovely to be back in blogland, seeing you create and hearing your dulcet tones, Therese! These are both just gorgeous … great use of the stone mosaic … and such beautiful flowers, whether as a sprig or in that wonderful vase! Inspiring as ever! Hugs, Anita 🙂
