Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies coloured with Sponge Daubers to make a stunning thank you card

Colorful Meadow for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on May 4, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a colouring technique. I have made a lovely Colorful Meadow card using the Meadow Dies. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the colourful meadow card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4 ⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade – 5” by 3 ¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

Taking the smaller Basic White panel and the spotty stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set I randomly stamped in Smoky Slate ink. I die cut a number of the Meadow Dies from scrap Basic White.

Using Sponge Daubers, I added colour to each flower. I used Old Olive and Just Jade inks for the stems and leaves. The larger flower was coloured using Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler and the smaller flower coloured with Bumblebee and Poppy Parade. I dabbed the colour on and carefully and lightly sponged it over the die cut taking care not to bend or tear the fragile die cut pieces.

The flowers were added to the stamped background using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which I applied using my Silicon Mat and a piece of Sponge.

The stamped layer was added to the Poppy Parade layer with the same liquid glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layers tying it in a bow. The panel was then mounted onto the Smoky Slate card base on Dimensionals.

I stamped a sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Poppy Parade ink onto scarp Basic White card. I die cut it using the sweet little label from the Meadow Dies and added it to the card front.

A gorgeous water colour Hydrangea bloom featuring the smooched ink technique and the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies by Stampin' Up!

Smooched Hydrangea

Posted on March 21, 2021March 15, 2021 by Mo Rootes

A sweet card featuring a gorgeous smooched Hydrangea made with the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies and some watercolour ink smooching. Love a bit of smooching.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the smooched Hydrangea card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5¾” by 3¼” – Rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 – 5” by 5½” – Cut down to 5” by 3” after inking – Rounded lower right corner -the remnant used to die cut the individual blooms
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” Rounded lower right corner
Scrap Fluid 100 & Soft Sea Foam

I began by taking my large F Block and pressing the Blushing Bride ink pad onto it. I then dabbed Highland Heather ink in random spots on the block. I then used a Spritzer to spray the inked bloc with water. I laid the panel of Fluid 100 water color paper on top of the wet ink and allowed it to soak into the paper. This was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I mounted the Hydrangea image onto my Stampartus plate inked it up with Versamark ink, then inked it again with Memento Tuxedo Black ink before stamping it down onto scrap Fluid 100 paper. I used the stamparatus to do this as it can be difficult to get a good, clear stamped image on textured water colour paper and doing it this way would allow me to re-stamp if I needed too. I then covered the stamped image with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat set it using my Heat Tool. This image was then die cut using the Hydrangea Dies. I cut off the bloom using scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I repeated the same process to stamp the image on the dried water coloured panel. The die cut stalk and leaves were then glued to the panel over top of the stamped image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I die cut the strip of flower blossoms a number of times from the left-over inked water coloured card, used a bone folder to curl the petals. The flowers were then added to the head of the hydrangea with Mini Glue Dots.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The decorated panel was added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then wrapped some of the lovely Blushing Bride Snail Mail Twine around the panel and tied a bow. The panel was then added to the Soft Sea Foam card base on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink, die cut using the sweet tag from the Hydrangea dies. The tag was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers to colour some Basic Pearls and added them to the centre of each small petal cluster to complete the card.

Such a soft and pretty card, I hope you like it.
