I created the gallery blooms card using the following supplies:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic Gray card – 5½” by 3¾”
Soft Sea Foam card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I cut the panel of Soft Sea Foam card on the diagonal and ran one half through my cut and emboss machine with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I glued the embossed piece to the layer of Basic Gray card leaving an ⅛” around the bottom and both sides and trimmed the top layer down to leave a ⅛” border.

A sweet thank you card made using the Mixed Florals stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the Spotlight technique

Floral Spotlight Card – Stamping Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inspirations Blog Hop where we are showcasing the spotlight technique. I have made my card using the Mixed Florals stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the spotlight on florals card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Fresh Freesia card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Secret Sea card – 1¾” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using the large floral image, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Soft Sea Foam card base with Soft Sea Foam ink. I set this aside to dry.

The large floral image was then stamped onto the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card with Secret Sea ink. Using a 1¾” Circle Punch I punched out part of the image. The stamped panel was then adhered to the Fresh Freesia embossed panel and then to the Soft Sea Foam card front.

I coloured the punched-out part of the image using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam. The punched part was then repositioned into the stamped panel but raised up on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Twisted In Time stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Secret Sea card, I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down and angled the end before adding it to the card front on Dimensionals.
