Art In Bloom card

Posted on September 24, 2021September 23, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the beautiful Art In Bloom stamp set and the co-ordinating Bloom Dies and Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. This is such a clever combo, I loved being able to emboss and die cut all in one go………so clever.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Art In Bloom card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8½” by 5½” – scored on the long side at 4⅛”
Calypso Coral card – 5½” by 4⅛”

Scrap Old Olive and Basic White card

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the largest scalloped rectangle from the Calypso Coral card. I then embossed the scalloped rectangle using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the die cut to the Petal Pink card base.

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.
