Today I am back with a lovely card using the Cotton Comfort stamp set by Altenew. This is a stamp set from their September 2017 release. In my previous video I ask you which set you would like me to use next and this was by far the most wanted one.
I stamped by images in white cardstock and colored everything with alcohol markers. Don’t forget that you can mix and match different brands of alcohol markers if you don’t have all the colors you want from one brand. That’s exactly what I did.
I used the matching dies to cut out the cotton flowers. One of my tips for you to make the cotton look brighter is to use a colored cardstock. Anything other than white will help the images pop even more. I worked on kraft cardstock since I find that it compliments the browns on my stems and it adds to the whole classy feel that I was going for.
One of my go to designs when I work with flowers is to have a window where I can nest my flowers in. For the background of my window I used Nuvo glitter in a stunning color that looked even cooler on top of the kraft colored cardstock.

Truly elegant card!!! I love the cotton flowers and how you colored them & combined them with the glitter behind! I would love to see them with pink shades too! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous card. Love this new image.
Beautiful design Vicki! Pinning this one for certain. I would never have thought of cotton as such a gorgeous comforting image before. It’s stunning isn’t it!?
Very, very nice. Loved it.
What a gorgeous card, it shows so luxury and sophisticated. I hoped that you would use the coffee stamp because I have this flower never seen in real life and did not see that he could be so beautiful. Thanks for showing me this.
Love, love this card. The stamp is unusual and makes a beautiful card.
Never would have thought to use different pastels for shading on this stamp. Lovely with the blue. I have to get my glitter out and try this back drop technique for the holidays! Really adds some interest.
I love when you make glitter tape, Vicky. Such a pretty card.
Beautiful card Vicky! TFS
What a pretty card!
I grew up in cotton country in the southern USA. I love these stamps. Who would have thought that a simple cotton boll could look so elegant. I also love your comment about us crafters finding joy in the littlest things. That is so true.
