Using the Perennial Petals dies and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the stamped flowers. I also die cut some of the flower centres from Vellum and a spray of leaves from scrap Basic White card. I also die cut a trio of small flowers from scrap Gorgeous Grape card.

The sentiment from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White and Gorgeous Grape ink. I used the Tasteful Label dies to cut it out.

The flowers were then added to the Pool Party panel using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and/or Dimensionals. The sentiment was tucked in under the flowers. I added the decorated layer to the Pool Party card base using Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added some of the pretty Pastel Pearls to the centre of the larger flowers and a splattering of Clear Wink of Stella.

I hope you like it.

Posted on January 1, 2021January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet pretty perennial, all occasion, floral card made using the new Pretty Perennials stamp set which will be available from the 5^th January 2021.

To recreate the Pretty Perennial card, you will need:

Rococo Rose card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner

I started by taking one of the Whisper White panels and stamping the largest flower from the Pretty Perennials stamp set in So Saffron ink. I like to start with the largest flower, it makes it easier to fit in all the other flowers.

The next size flower was stamped in Rococo Rose and the smallest flower in Highland Heather. The leaves were stamped in Mint Macaron ink, 1^st and 2^nd generation. I used Soft Suede ink to stamp the centre in the largest flowers and also used it to infill the empty spaces.

A lovely floral gilded art card made using Stampin' Up! product from the new Jan-June 2021 catalogue

Gilded Art for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on December 31, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘New Goodies’. I have chosen to make a gilded art card for you. With the January – June 2021 and Sale-A-Bration catalogues coming out on the 5^th January and lots of goodies from my pre-order to play with, I have been spoilt for choice. If you have hopped on from Karen Egan I am sure you loved her project

To recreate the gilded art card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I really, really wanted to play with the gilding flakes but didn’t have any Heat & Stick Powder – so I improvised by sticking strips of Tear & Tape along all 4 sides of one of the Whisper White panels. I removed the backing and covered the tape with the flakes, rubbed them onto the tape with my fingers to remove the excess flakes and bring out the shine. I absolutely love the effect.

I flagged the ends of the strip of Gorgeous Grape card and glued it flat onto the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Floral Watercolour Art card made using the the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies

Markers in Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade & Gorgeous Grape were used to colour in the gorgeous stamp from the Art Gallery stamp set. I then took a spritzer filed with water and sprayed the inked up stamp a couple of times. I then stamped the image onto the smaller panel of Whisper White, making sure to leave it on the card stock to let the ink soak in. Don’t you just love the effect this gives?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Floral Watercolour Art card made using the the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies

It took a couple of minutes for the ink to dry before I added the stamped layer to the Gorgeous Grape layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the card base on Dimensionals.
