A lovely floral thank you card made using the Bottled Happiness stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Bottled Flowers for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Blog Hop where we are sharing cards made for our lovely customers. My bottled flowers card is made using the gorgeous new Bottled Happiness stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the bottled happiness card, you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Old Olive card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White care – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Old Olive card – 3⅜” by 1 ¾”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using the ink to stamp technique I added Blackberry Bliss using my Stampin’ Write to the larger flowers. I used my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker to colour in the other flowers. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped the image on the smaller Basic White panel. I repeated the whole thing again.

Next, I inked up the leafy image in Old Olive and stamped it around the flowers. The trick is to line up the flower centres. The stamped panel was then adhered to the larger Old Olive layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Blackberry Bliss card base.

When the layer was quite saturated, I added Polished Pink ink to the lower third, then added Crushed Curry ink in the middle and finished with Blushing Bride ink. I laid the panel aside to dry.

The sentiment was stamped in the same black ink onto the strip of Shimmery White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want. The end was flagged and the sentiment added to the card front with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.
