A paper pieced card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper from Stampin' Up!

Paper Pieced Flowers – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing the paper piecing technique. This is one of my favourite techniques which is odd as I am not a big fan of fussy cutting, but it is so effective. I have used the Flowers Fair stamp set and the Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the Paper Pieced Flowers card using the following supplies:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼“by 3½”
Secret Sea – 2⅜” by ⅜
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Kintsugi Inspirations dsp

 

I mounted the large Flowers Fair stamp onto the plate of the Stampin’ Positioner, inked it up with Secret Sea ink and stamped it onto the 5¼“by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I also stamped the image onto the Stampin’ Positioner gird paper.

I selected the two patterns of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper from my scraps. Taking one Cloud Cover pattern I cut it into smaller pieces, placed them over the relevant flowers, inked up the stamp and stamped down onto the scraps. The flowers were then fussy cut.

I repeated this step with the Petal Pink dsp and the smaller flowers and fussy cut them out.

The fussy cut flowers were then placed over the identical flowers on the stamped panel. I lifted some of the larger ones on Dimensionals, the rest were glued into position. The smaller flowers were then added with Liquid Adhesive.

I coloured the flowers using Poppy Parade ink and Water Painters. The flower centres were added with Daffodil Delight ink. The leaves were coloured with Garden Green and to small buds with Highland Heather ink. I set the panel aside to dry.

When dry, I adhered the water coloured panel to the 5⅛” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card and added it to the Garden Green card front on Dimensionals.

Ghosted Fragrant Flowers Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are share projects using White Craft ink. I have used the ghosting technique with the Fragrant Layers stamp set to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the ghosted fragrant flowers card using the following supplies:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5” by 3⅜”
Lost Lagoon – 4⅞” by 3”
Basic White – 2¼” by ⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

I stamped the solid floral image, randomly all over the panel of Lost Lagoon card using White Craft Ink. I added the triple leaf image to fill in the gaps using the same ink and set the panel aside to dry.

I inked the same images with Pretty Peacock ink and stamped over the dried white images, slightly offsetting each image. This gives the ‘ghost’ or ‘shadow’ impression.
