I have another Sneak Peak of the Floral Release coming 3/26/25. This time it’s a large, floral background set. This image would be awesome if the flowers were individually colored, but I kept my clean & simple by creating a brayered background to add color. You could also try it over any leftover backgrounds you have or do a black & white. Endless choices for this lovely image.
A big congrats to Darlene, the newest Featured Stamper FS946! She has a super gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big floral background w/ a simple greeting, but I used different images, different colors, turned mine vertical & left off a layer,
To make my background, I used a piece of glossy card, a little brayer & a selection of little ink pads. I started w/ the yellow at the top & brayered it about 1/3 of the way down. Then added a little of the apricot on top of the lower part of the yellow. Then the 2 bright pinks, followed by the purple at the bottom. Since it’s glossy, you just have roll over it a few time to get good coverage & remove any streaks. I let it dry for a few minutes, then used the embossing buddy over it before putting it into my Misti & stamping w/ Versaclair. Since it’s a big image, I repeated this in any areas that didn’t look dark enough. I knew the Versaclair would not dry totally on the glossy, so I heat embossed it w/ clear powder. It was die cut w/ the largest stitched rectangle & to make sure the embossing didn’t flake off the edges, I used the heat tool around where it was cut. The greeting was stamped, die cut & I added a peach colored band behind it that I used an edger die on, & put the cutaway portion of one but in black, down the center. A few rhinestones were added here & there.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you at the IG Release Hop. (You will be able to find it at @brassandblisscraftco or on my account @julie_justwritedesigns on Instagram, Wed morning 3/26/25.)
