Lovely Lattice used for the Stamp’N Hop blog hop

Hello and welcome to January’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where this month’s theme is Sale-a-Bration.  I love, love, love Sale-a-Bration……free stuff….oh yes bring it on and such great stuff as well.

If you have hopped over from Vicki Hunter  I am sure you enjoyed the project she shared as much as I did. After a lot of deliberation I have chosen to use the stunning stamp set called Lovely Lattice to make my card as I love the versatility of this set.

 Making the card

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper measuring 5¼” by 3½” and stamped the large gorgeous image from the Lovely Lattice stamp set in Versamark ink and yes I did remember to use my embossing buddy, whoop whoop. I covered the panel with White embossing powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.

I wanted to watercolor this image and find the easiest way to do this is to use my ink pad to press some ink onto a clear block and colour with an Aquapainter. I used Coastal Cabana for the flowers, starting with a light touch and adding more layers of colour to give depth and dimension. The flower centres were coloured using So Saffron ink and Granny Apple Green was used for the leaves. I added Smoky Slate around the whole image to ground it and also coloured the lattice area with the Smoky Slate again adding depth by layering up the colour.

The sentiment from the Amazing life stamp set was stamped in Versamark onto a scrap of Basic Gray cardstock, covered in White embossing powder and heat set with my Heat Tool.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the upper left and lower right corner of the stamped layer and a layer of So Saffron measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and a layer of Coastal Cabana measuring 5⅝” by 3⅞” and adhered the layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The finished topper was then added to a Smoky Slate card base and the sentiment was added using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish the card I added a scatter of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I absolutely love this card, the soft colours work so well with this image. Please hop along to see what the lovely Susan Simpson is sharing with us today.
