Using Sponge Daubers I added ink to the reverse of the embossed panel. I used Lemon Lolly, Berry Burst, Timid Tiger and Coastal Cabana inks. The Sponge Daubers add the ink unevenly to the image and I really like the distressed effect it gives.

Meadow Flowers Card – Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a pretty card made using the Flowering Meadow stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

 

Colours used when making this card are:

 

I created the meadow flowers card using the following supplies:

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lemon Lolly – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Mossy Meadow – 2⅛” by ⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Lemon Lolly and Mossy Meadow

 

I inked the double flower image with Highland Heather ink and added Gorgeous Grape ink around the edges with a Sponge Dauber before stamping it on scrap Basic White card. On the same scrap card, I stamped the double stem, two smaller flower stems and two of the leafy sprigs with Mossy Meadow ink. These images were all die cut using the Flowering Meadow dies.

From scrap Lemon Lolly card I die cut two daisies’ heads, four white flower centres and two leafy sprays from scrap Mossy Meadow card.

The centres were added to the flowers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, and the flowers were then adhered to the stems with either Mini Glue Dots or Dimensionals. I then arranged the flowers and leaves on the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. When I was happy with the layout, I adhered everything down with liquid glue, Mini Glue Dots and/or Dimensionals.

The decorated panel was then glued to the Lemon Lolly layer and a length of retired Mossy Meadow Twine was wrapped around the whole piece before it was glued to the Gorgeous Grape card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the piece of Gorgeous Grape card, covered with White Embossing Powder and set using my Heat Tool. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Rose in a Vase Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the pretty Pop-Up Petals stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

 

Colours used to create this card are:

 

I created the rose in a vase card using the following supplies:

Bubble Bath card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lost Lagoon – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Velvet Meadow dsp – 2⅞” by ½”
Bubble Bath – 3⅜” by 2⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 2”
Bubble Bath – 1⅝” by ½”
Scrap Basic White and Artisan Sketched Garden dsp

 

I ran one of the largest panels of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then trimmed down to 4⅞” by 3 ¼” before it was adhered to the Lost lagoon layer. The whole piece was glued to the Bubble Bath card front.

The three pieces of Velvet Meadow dsp were added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

I glued the smaller piece of Basic White card to the slightly larger layer of Bubble Bath card and added it over the strips of dsp on Dimensionals.

The rose image, from the Pop-Up Petals stamp set was stamped with Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured using Blends Pens – Bubble Bath and Lost Lagoon.

The vase was die cut from a scrap of Artisan Sketched Garden dsp – I actually die cut the vase from several different dsp scraps before settling on this one. The rose was cut down and added to the back of the vase with a Mini Glue Dot before the vase and flower were glued to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink onto the small piece of Bubble Bath card and added to the card front. I used tape to mask off the words I didn’t want to use before stamping it down.
