Posted on September 22, 2022September 12, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by this picture and or colours. I have made a watercolor contour card using the Watercolor Shapes and Color & Contour stamp sets.

Colours used in this project:

To recreate the watercolor contours card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Night of Navy card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” x 2 – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

I chose one of the smaller rectangle stamps from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set and mounted it onto the Stamparatus Plate.

I inked up the image using Pacific Point ink and stamped it down onto one of the Basic White panels. I cleaned the stamp, inked it up with Bermuda Bay ink, moved the plate up one hinge step and stamped again.

I repeated this image and stamped again in Garden Green, Daffodil Delight and Sweet Sorbet inks. I love using this technique and the result is fantastic.

A trio of flowers from the Color & Contour stamp set were stamped in Night of Navy ink, overlapping the coloured rectangles.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink three times. The stamped panel was then glued to the Night of Navy panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A Red Rhinestone was added to the centre of each flower to complete the card.

I really, really like it, I hope you do too.

Today I am sharing a card made using the Cottage Rose stamp set and Cottage Flowers Dies along with the Abigail Rose dsp to make a pretty red rose card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the red rose card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – 1 for the inside – rounded upper left corner
Abigail Rose dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla card – 4” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Very Vanilla

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the panel of dsp to one of the larger panels of Very Vanilla card.

I wrapped a length of Real Red Ribbon around the panel before adhering it to the Real Red card base using the same liquid glue.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut a scalloped rectangle from the smaller panel of Very Vanilla card and stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink. The panel was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The flower and leaf sprig were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto scarp Very Vanilla card and coloured in using Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake Blends Pens. I then die cut the images using the Cottage Flower Dies. I trimmed away the spriggy stems from the flower stamp, curved the flower image using a Bone Folder and added the images to the scalloped rectangle with a dab of liquid glue.
