Batik Pattern

Posted on July 9, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a quirky batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”
Merry Merlot – 3” by 2
Polished Pink – 3” by 2
Basic White – ¼” strip

I began by stamping the outline of the larger shape in Merry Merlot ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Polished Pink ink and the base part was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. Don’t these colours look lovely together? I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Polished Pink panel. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

Using the Batik Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the solid shape from the small Basic White panel. I then die cut the detailed shape from the Merry Merlot and Polished Pink pieces.

The outline die cut was then glued to the Basic White die cut and the Polished Pink pieces glued into the negative space gaps using the paper-piecing technique. Such a pretty effect. The die cut piece was then added with Dimensionals over top of the ribbon.

The sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set was stamped onto the Basic White strip in Merry Merlot ink. I flagged the ends with scissors and added it to the card front with liquid glue.

To complete the card, I added a bow using a Mini Glue Dot and made from the same Pale Papaya Ribbon.

I really like the colour combo I have used for this card. I hope you like it.

Colours used in the halo potted plant card are:

To recreate the halo potted plant card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner

From the Evening Evergreen panel, I die cut a scalloped rectangle using the Scalloped Contour Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I inked up one of my Blending Brushes with Whisper White ink and started swirling the ink onto the centre of the Evening Evergreen rectangle building up the colour gradually. I then added Soft Succulent ink around the edge of the whitened area and finally went in with Night of Navy ink around the edges to darken them up.

I stamped the pot in Cinnamon Cider ink onto scrap Basic White card. The leaves were stamped onto the same scrap card in Soft Succulent ink add some Evening Evergreen ink to the edges with a Sponge Dauber . I then die cut these using the Perfect Plants Dies. I die cut the sweet flowers using the Hydrangea Dies and scrap Polished Pink card. All of these pieces were added to the inked Evening Evergreen panel, the pot and leaves with liquid glue and the flowers with Mini Glue Dots.

The whole panel was then to the card front. I decided to add a sprinkling of tiny flowers onto the panel using Basic White ink. 2021-2023 In Color Jewels were added to the flower centres. I stamped the sentiment from Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink onto scrap Basic White card and ticked it in behind the plant pot.

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies I die cut a scalloped rectangle. I used Post It Notes to mask off the stitching and scallops.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Whisper White ink to the centre of the panel using circular motions to blend the ink. I added Soft Succulent ink around the White area, the Evening Evergreen ink and finally Night of Navy ink around the outer edges to give some depth. I removed the Post It Notes and added the rectangle to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Meadow Dies I die cut a flower from Basic Black and Basic White card. The White flower was added to the Black flower, slightly off centre to give a shadow effect.

A beautiful card featuring bleached daisies and made using Stampin' Up! products

Bleached Daisies for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop where we are sharing anything we choose. I have decided to share a card made using the ‘bleaching’ technique.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bleached daisies card, you will need;

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
So Saffron card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Soft Succulent card – 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

I mounted the large Daisy Garden stamp onto the Stamparatus plate and place the Soft Succulent panel onto the base.

I inked the stamp in Soft Succulent ink and stamped it down, I repeated this step until the image was dark enough. The soft succulent panel was left in position on the Stamparatus base.

Using a dry Blender Pen I began to colour in the flowers using bleach. I love the effect this gives.

When the bleach was dry, I inked up the stamp again with the Soft Succulent ink and stamped again over the top of the flowers to give the image more definition.

I glued the stamped panel to the So Saffron panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the layer, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was added to the Evening Evergreen card base using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The white tag looked so bright against the stamped image so I inked up the Daisy Garden stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped it off on scrap paper and stamped it over the sentiment. Much better. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

I love this technique, such fun. I hope you like it.
