I stamped the beautiful hydrangea flower in Basic Gray ink onto the Shimmery White card.

Using the Fresh Freesia ink and a Water Painter I covered the whole blossom. Next, I added Highland Heather ink to some of the flowers and Gorgeous Grape into to others. Balmy Blue ink was added to fill the gaps.

The sentiment from the Best Year stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink.

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

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

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

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

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

When the circle was covered, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Looks amazing. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”

Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2^nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

A beautiful box of pansies for my Mum's birthday and for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I added the In Good Taste dsp to the front and side of the box.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I stamped a section of pansies, 3 large and 14 small onto scrap Basic White card. The colour combinations I used were.

1^st generation Polished Pink outline, 2^nd generation Polished Pink solid image and Merry Merlot for the bearded part. 1^st generation Fresh Freesia outline, 2^nd generation Fresh Freesia solid image and Gorgeous Grape for the bearded part.

1^st generation Bermuda Bay outline, 2^nd generation Bermuda Bay solid image and Misty Moonlight for the bearded part.

The centres were stamped in Bumblebee ink. The flowers were then die cut using the Pansy Dies. The leaves were die cut from the Pansy Petals dsp.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Using liquid glue, I added the 3 large pansies to the back panel of the box making sure not to place them to high as I wanted the card to fit into a standard C6 envelope. I added some of the smaller flowers to the front panel using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I added the ⅛” strips of Evening Evergreen card to the other small pansies and added them at different heights to the inside panels, snipping off the excess. I added the leaves with a dot of liquid glue. Taking care that the card when folded down will still fit within the envelope.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Polished Pink ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Floral Gallery dies and added to the front of the box with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A box of Pansies for Mum’s birthday made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I added a trio of 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

www.crafty-rootes.com -I have made a coloured hydrangea card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the flower head and again repeated the process to get a good impression. The infill stamp was inked up in Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the colour over the flower head. I used the same 2^nd generation Shaded Spruce ink to the leaves and stem using the infill stamp.
