All these pieces were die cut using the Cut & Emboss Machine and the Sending Dies. I used a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to attach the flowers to the stems. I then began to lay out the blossoms on the small panel of Basic White card.

I wanted to have 2 colours of flowers in the bouquet so added the Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis inks using the 2022 – 2024 In Color Stamp ‘n Write Markers. Such a great technique. The leaves were then added in Parakeet Party ink.

At this point I decided I needed some of the smaller bottles in the picture. I initially tried masking off the original bottle but wasn’t happy with the results and ended up stamping the bottles in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cutting them out. The Sweet Sorbet bottle was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Starry Sky bottle added on Dimensionals.

I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corner of the Tahitian Tide card front using Tahitian Tide ink. The stamped panel was then added with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White, trimmed down and flagged before it was added to the card front.

Gorgeous floral bouquet for the Color Throwdown #532 challenge

Wonderful Romance for the Color Throwdown #532 Challenge

I am delighted to have been chosen as this week’s Guest Stamper for the Color Throwdown #532 challenge. This week’s colours as Coral, Blue, Green and Brown and here is the card I came up with.

Making my card

I chose to use the Wonderful Romance stamp set by Stampin’ Up! and began by stamping the gorgeous bouquet with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Watercolor Paper. I used my Stamparatus stamp positioner as I always struggle to get a good crisp image on Watercolor Paper and using the Stamparatus means I can stamp the image multiple times until I get the color as dark as I want.

When the ink was dry I watercolored the image using my Aquapainter and Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green and Gray Granite inks. I die cut the image using the co-ordinating Wonderful Floral dies. I also die cut the lovely detailed edge oval die from Whisper White cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Happy stamp set onto the die cut oval using Gray Granite ink – l love this shade of warm browny/gray, so pretty. I added the bouquet to the die cut oval with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then die cut 3 of the detailed sprays of embossed leaves from Vellum cardstock and added them to the back of the die cut piece with Mini Glue Dots.

I inked up the leaf image with Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it in the lower right corner of the Whisper White panel measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”.  I used the Granny Apple Green combo of Blends alcohol markers to colour in the leaves. The topper was then added to the Whisper White layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the tiny flower randomly in Balmy Blue ink.

Using the dark Granny Apple Green and the dark Calypso Coral Blends alcohol markers I coloured in some of the Basic Pearls and added them to the card front. I rounded the upper right corner of the Whisper White layer with the Detailed Trio Punch. I rounded the upper right corner of a panel of Balmy Blue 5½” by 3¾” and added the Whisper White layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to a Calypso Coral Card base with a rounded upper right corner.

I stamped the leaf and small flower onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added it inside the card. The same images were stamped on the front of an envelope.

I hope you like the card.

Beautiful Bouquet for February Classes

Beautiful Bouquet Classes

We have had a fab time over the last week in my February classes playing with the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and the co-ordinating Bouquet Bunch dies. This set contains 21 dies and 37 stamps including some lovely scripted sentiments.

Beautiful Bouquet for February Classes

The first card we made was very simple. We started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 3⅞” by 3⅛” and stamped our chosen sentiment, either from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set or the Mother’s day sentiment from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set, at the bottom of the panel using Berry Burst ink. Above that we stamped the flower stems in Wild Wasabi ink. Next we added flowers in Calypso Coral ink, So Saffron Ink and Night of Navy ink. We stamped 2 flowers in Berry Burst ink onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut these using the Big Shot and the  Bouquet Bunch dies and added them to the stamped layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The stamped layer was added to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock after corner rounding the upper left corners with the retired Project Life Corner Rounder using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a small strip of Night of Navy cardstock, 4⅛” by ¼” and a pair of scissors we cut a banner end and glued the piece to a Thick Very Vanilla Card base with Tombow. The stamped layer was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off we added some Basic Pearls to the 2 largest flowers.

Beautiful Bouquet for February Classes

For the second card we started with a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock 5½” by 3¾”. We began by stamping the largest of the flowers in Calypso Coral ink on the right side of the panel. We added flowers in So Saffron ink, the Night of Navy ink and Wisteria Wonder ink. The leaves were added in Wild Wasabi ink. I always start with the larger images and use the smaller images to fill in the gaps. Taking a layer of Night of Navy cardstock 5⅝” by 3⅞” and punched out a label using the Pretty Label Punch, I love doing this, no one will ever know there is a piece missing behind the stamped panel. I corner rounded the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel and the Night of Navy panel. We added a piece of Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon to the panel securing it to the reverse with Sellotape, before adhering the two layers together with Tombow. The panel was then added to a Calypso Coral Card Base. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut using the Layering Circles dies and added to the punched label. This was added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals and Basic Pearls added to a few of the flowers and the label.

Beautiful Bouquet for February Classes

The final card began with a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅞” by 4⅛” and a Paper Trimmer. We lined the upper left hand corner up with the cutting track and the lower right hand corner roughly 1 – 1½” up the right side and cut. Keeping the upper left hand corner in the cutting track we swung the panel to the right and cut again about 1 – 1½” on the bottom edge. This leaves 2 triangles and a piece that looks like a man’s tie. Setting the triangles to one side we placed the ‘tie’ shaped piece onto the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card base with the thin piece in the upper left corner and the wider piece in the lower left corner and drew a light pencil line down both sides. This defines the area we needed to fill with our stamped images. We started again with the largest images and worked through to the smallest image using Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Berry Burst, Night of Navy, Wild Wasabi and Wisteria Wonder inks  and erased the pencil marks when we had filled the area. We stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on the left hand panel before adding the left and right hand panels using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We stamped the largest and smallest flowers onto scrap Very Vanilla and die cut them using the Big Shot and the Bouquet Bunch dies. We also die cut leaves from Wild Wasabi cardstock and flowers from So Saffron cardstock. All of these elements were added to the top of the stamped diagonal panel using Tombow or Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Beautiful Bouquet for February Classes

The ladies loved the cards and I loved the colours, so bright and cheerful. Hope you like them.
