Taking the small pair of leaves, I stamped down the centre of the So Saffron panel with So Saffron ink to give a little interest to the background. The torn pieces of dsp were then adhered to the So Saffron layer leaving the stamped area on view,

The small sunflower was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scarp Basic White card along with 2 sets of the small leaves. These were coloured using the following Blends Alcohol Pens – So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive & Soft Suede.

A couple of leafy sprigs were die cut form scrap Soft Suede card and these were tucked behind the circle.

The sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Soft Suede card. I then covered the stamped sentiment with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed the cardstock down and flagged the ends with scissors before adding it to the card front.

A trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

Basket of Blooms card

Posted on October 2, 2022September 21, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I love combining elements from different stamp sets to create something new and different and have created a basket of blooms using the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Wisteria Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the basket of blooms stamp set, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White& Old Olive card

I saw a Youtube video a while ago showing how to colour using ordinary colouring pencils with Vaseline which helps them to blend. I wondered if it would work with our Watercolor pencils and thought I would give it a go.

The basket from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and used the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze watercolor pencils to add colour to the basket. I dipped the tip of the pencil into a small pot of Vaseline before applying the colour, dipping again as needed. The colour went on really smoothly and I was able to get a really rich colour by building up the layers. The basket was die cut using the Full Basket dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The stems and leaves were stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Old Olive ink and the die cut basket added with .Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then adhered to the Pale Papaya card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The flower spikes from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set were inked with Pale Papaya ink and I added Sweet Sorbet ink to the tops with a Stampin’ Write Marker. The flowers were then stamped onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Wisteria Dies. They were added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card
