Fun Technique With The Wild Roses Stamp

I’ve been using background stamps lately and wanted to play with the Wild Roses Stamp. It creates such a beautiful background. The sentiment is from the Sunny Sentiments Stamp Set. These sentiments just make me happy!!!

In the video I’ll show you how to ink up the stamp and then used a Sponge Dauber to color the centers of the flowers. I used the Stamparatus because the stamp is so large.

Tips & Procedures

• Mango Melody Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4,

• Basic White Layer to be stamped - 5 x 3 3/4

• Ink up the entire stamp. I used the Stamparatus to make it easy to manage. Using a Sponge Dauber to add Melon Mambo Ink to the centers of each flower.

• Stamp on the 5 x 3 3/4 layer and adhere to white layer.

• Melon Mambo Strip - 4 x 3/4, adhere to layers.

• Wrap White Ribbon around layers and strip and adhere to back. Adhere layers to card base.

Follow the same steps using Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and Daffodil Delight and Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Daisy Garden Sympathy Card

Don’t you just love background stamps. I used the new Daisy Garden Stamp for this card. I embossed it with White Embossing Powder and then colored with Watercolor Pencils to give it a soft look.

The Daisy Garden Stamp will cover your entire card front. I used my Stamparatus so I could stamp it twice with Versamark to be sure I had good coverage.

Once I heat embossed it, I colored the leaves and flower centers with Watercolor Pencils and then used a Blender Pen to soften it up.

Tips & Instructions

• Old Olive Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Crumb Cake Layer - 5 3/8 x 4 1/8, stamp the daisy image with Versamark Ink. This is where the Stamparatus came in handy. I was able to stamp the image twice to get good coverage and it is also helpful to manage such a large stamp.

• Pour White Embossing Powder over the image, shake off the excess and heat with your Heat Tool.

• Color the flower centers with a Early Espresso and the leaves with Old Olive Watercolor Pencils. Blend with a Blender Pen.

• Wrap Linen Thread around the layer 3 times and adhere to the back. Adhere layer to card base.

On the inside stamp portion of the daisy with Old Olive Ink and color with Watercolor Pencils. I used Early Espresso for the flower centers, Daffodil Delight for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves and stems. Blend with a Blender Pen making sure you clean it often when coloring the yellow because it will pick up the green from the stamped image. Stamp the sentiment with Old Olive Ink.

Remove the Post-It Note before you stamp it and stamp on a 1/2” strip of Basic White Cardstock. Do the reverse so you get only the FOREVER sentiment. Cut with rectangle die.
