Blue Flower Day

A pretty, mostly monochromatic flower card featuring some beautiful new dies and a background made using die cuts as a stencil. Easy way to make everything match! Just pick your colors, die cut some flowers & use some of them as a stencil, and add a greeting.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1011, we are visiting Amicreative & their Pinterest Boards where I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the colors & floral print.

To make my card, I started by picking out the ink colors. These happen to be my favorite colors, so it was easy! The flowers & branches were all die cut out of white. I used detail blending brushes to add a little color in the centers before shaping them & attaching them all together. I knew I wasn’t going to have a printed paper to go with them, so I die cut a couple of large branches out of thin white card stock to use as stencils. After putting a little removable adhesive on the backs, I used the inks & some large blending brushes to brush ink around them. The branches were moved around on the background, so that some were left white & others were on top of ink already there. It gives them depth & interest this way.

Above is the background before I added everything on top. I picked a dk teal for the center & backing up the white dot dash frame. Then all the flowers, leaves & branches were arranged & a greeting was added.

Iris for a Friend

My card today is a pretty floral inside an oval with a stenciled background. The stencil makes it easy to match your colors to any image you want to use. This would be great as a spring or Easter card for a dear friend, It’s not at all hard to make and the colors can be customized to your own liking.

For the Featured Stamper Challenge FS947, we are having a special remembrance of a dear member of Splitcoast who recently passed on. Polly was FS431 back in 2015 so today we are honoring her by selecting once again, from her gallery. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme & stenciled background, but I used different images, dies, colors & stencil.

After coloring & die cutting the lovely Iris image & greeting, I die cut a large white oval, then used a smaller to cut out the inside to make a frame. I made a similar frame out of lavender & attached the white frame on top of it. Then both were attached to the inside portion of the oval. I popped up the iris just a bit in order to make it level w/ the part that hangs over the frame. I did the same for the greeting, For the background, I used a 2 part stencil w/ lg & sm circles & 3 colors of ink. I also cut a rectangular frame & popped it up before adding it on top of the background.

These are the Copics I used on the iris: (here’s a coloring tip for you. I used the G21 & G99 for the leaves & since they’re on the cooler side of green & I already had the Y02 out, I used it in areas of the lighter G21 on the leaves to bring them forward & add a little warmth to them. It’s also handy if you don’t have a lot of lighter YG colors.)

So Blessed

Maybe because it snowed here a couple of days this week and the temps were frigid, this flowery wreath brings a breath of spring air. The background is a 3 part stencil so it can be any color you desire. Then just match the wreath to your colors and you are done. These are a few of my favorite colors.

For the Inspiration Challenge, IC1003, we are visiting Everything Kitchens & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS plate. I loved the colors & the round plate became a flower wreath.

My card started with the die cut white background & a 3 part floral stencil. Stencil 1 is the all over leaves & I used a large stencil brush to add the Mist green on the entire stencil. I went back over the outside edges with the Beachside ink. Stencil 2 is the flowers which I used the Beachside & a little Sonata on. Stencil 3 is some detail leaves, here & there. I used Sky & a little Sonata on them. Then I picked some coordinating colors & die cut the wreath, extra leaves & 3 different flowers. The flowers were shaped just a bit & the wreath is popped up. Some stickles was added to the flower centers. The greeting was die cut & then I used detail scissors to cut the lines apart & added them to the ribbon banner die.
