For today’s sketch challenge I used the Flowering Blooms Stamp Set with the coordinating dies to create a pretty spring bouquet.
The sketch is from the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Using a sketch is so helpful to get started designing a card.
This stamps in this set are so beautiful. The way they are made, you just stamp the image and you’ll get all the different shades. It looks like you spent a lot of time to make them look this way.
I colored the stamps with Stampin’ Write Markers and then stamped them on the cardstock. This is a good way to get different colors on the image. Make sure you are using the water-based Stampin’ Write Markers and NOT the alcohol-based Stampin’ Blends
Tips & Instructions
Pear Pizzazz Card Base - 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2 (Top Folding Card)
Basic White Layer - 5 x 3 3/4, emboss with Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.
Wrap piece of Fine Art Ribbon around layer and adhere to the back. Adhere layer to card.
Stamp flowers on Basic White Cardstock. I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamp, then breathed on it to moisten it, then stamped each image. The large flower was colored with Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz, the yellow flower with Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz and the smallest with Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam. Color some extra leaves with Pear Pizzazz.
Cut the images using the coordinating dies and adhere the smaller flowers behind the large flower. You may have to snip off some of the ends. Adhere to card using Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment (from the Oval Occasions Stamp Set) with Versamark and heat emboss with Gold Emboss Powder. Cut with coordinating oval from Double Oval Punch and adhere to card with Dimensionals.
Tie bow and adhere with Glue Dots. Add some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to sentiment label.
