Flowers Bloom

When you want to send a card of encouragement, sympathy or feel better, this floral set is perfect. The greetings are as lovely as the flowers and even come with a larger word Hope that has a matching die! Add a pretty background and you are set to go.

A big congrats to Laura, the newest Featured Stamper (FS910)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the large floral & white background, but I used a stamped, colored & die cut flower instead of embossed. I also used different dies & added a mixed media paper behind the white cover.

After coloring & die cutting the floral image, I added a cardboard layer under it to give it strength & a little lift. I had a mixed media background in my stash. On its own, it was just a mix of colors made with acrylic paint. I stamped the News Paper Bg over it to add a little something extra & attached it behind the Diamond Cover front. The first part of the greeting is stamped directly on top of it & the die cut Hope added underneath.

Here are the Copics I used: (the BV00 was used to underpaint the flowers & leaves in the shadow areas).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Aikiko, the newest Featured Stamper (FS759)! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & green but used different images, dies & added the purple flowers.

For my card, I started w/ the mint green panel & cut it w/ a deckle frame die. The white lattice type inset is a new cover plate die (soon to be released) that I cut twice & stacked one upside down on the other. These were attached behind the green frame & inside deckle piece was attached behind it. The smaller green strip was white embossed using a small flower stem. The layered flowers were done w/ blue, purple & green ink then die cut w/ the matching die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Purple Flowers

Posted on May 15, 2021 9:16 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS745) this week, so a big congrats to Robyn! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big purple blooms, but used different images & dies, & changed the layout a bit.

For my card, I used a lovely, clear layering flower set & started w/ a lt rose colored ink on the solid (1st) layer. Since it was in my Misti, I stamped it again using the lightest purple ink w/ a touch of medium blue around the edges. Then I lined up the 2nd layer & stamped it w/ a darker purple & used a bit of darker blue in the shadow areas. The final layer was stamped using the next to darkest purple w/ some dark blue in the shadow areas. I like mixing up the colors to give it more depth. The leaves were done in 2 colors of green then they were die cut w/ their matching dies. I used a narrow layer of textured dk green down the left side & the narrow purple strip on the right was sponged w/ the purple inks in order to match the flower.
