I had two lovely classes this week using the beautiful Birthday Blooms stamp set.

We stamped the rose image for the first card in Versamark ink onto Vellum, covered it with Copper Embossing Powder and melted the powder using the heat tool. Love watching embossing powder melt, such a cool effect. We then colored the reverse side of the image using Stampin Write Marker Pens. For the petals we used Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral and Watermelon Wonder with the centre in Crushed Curry. The leaves we colored using Wild Wasabi and Garden Green markers.

We adhered the vellum to the left hand side of a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tombow and covered the area with a strip of dsp to hide the glue, then carefully placed a couple of Mini Glue Dots behind the centre of the rose where they would be hidden by the colouring. A strip of Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon covered the join between the vellum and dsp and we added a separate ribbon bow on top. The stamped topper was added to a Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid. We colored 2 White Perfect Accents using a bronze Sharpie Marker and added them to the image, hiding a mini glue dot behind each to help anchor the vellum. We die cut the ‘thanks’ sentiment from the retired Greetings Thinlit dies twice and adhered them one on top of the other for added dimension. They were added to the topper with Tombow. I loved the way everybody’s card was different, some flowers were very light and delicate looking, others went for a richer, deeper tone, all beautiful.

For the second card we stamped the rose image in Versamark and embossed it using the Copper Embossing Powder as before but onto Shimmery White cardstock. Using Aquapainters we water colored the image using Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral and Watermelon Wonder inkpads for the petals, Crushed Curry for the flower centre and Wild Wasabi and Garden Green for the leaves. Using Pool Party ink we water colored around the image to ground it. The water colored piece was adhered to a layer of Basic Gray, then a layer of Flirty Flamingo before adding to a Thick Whisper White card base. To add a little more interest we rounded the top left hand corner of each layer before adhering together.

The last project was a small box made using the Envelope Punch Board and a piece of dsp 6” by 6”. This project was cased from a YouTube video by Sam Hammond – Pootles way Back Wednesday – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCqO04Y4rbw
