To recreate the purple textured flower card:

Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape card – 4¾” by 3” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 2¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using the larger leafy image, I randomly stamped all around the Parakeet Party card front using Parakeet Party ink. I set it aside to dry.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to back the panel with and found a Pretty Peacock scrap that I though might look nice just peeping out on each side………. Sadly, it didn’t. I ended up cutting the piece in half diagonally and adding the triangles with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive in the upper right and lower left corner. I had originally planned to trim off the pointy bits but decided I liked them.

The double flower image was the mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate, inked up with StaZon Jet Black ink and stamped onto the panel of Fluid 100 card. I repeated the step then moved the image and stamped again onto the same panel.

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

The flowers were painted in the same way with Daffodil Delight ink and a little Sweet Sorbet ink in the centre, allowing it to bleed out a little. I left the piece to dry.

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment panel was then mounted over the twine on Dimensionals. A double Twine bow and a scattering of Glossy Dots and 2022 – 2024 In Color Dots completed the card.

So pretty. Please hop over to see what my crafty friends have to share with us today.

Pot of Geraniums card

Posted on by

Today, I have used the pretty Potted Geranium stamp set to make a sweet, floral thank you card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the pot of geranium card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Polished Pink, Sweet Sorbet & Basic White card

 

I stamped the small ‘ground’ image a number of times in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Sahara Sand ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. This piece was then adhered to the Basic Black panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was then used to fix the panel to the front of the Sweet Sorbet card front.

The pot was stamped onto scrap Basic White card, the detailed image in Bermuda Bay and the more solid image in 2nd generation Coastal Cabana ink. The pot was die-cut using the Geranium Dies.

I stamped the outline cluster of flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink onto the scarp Basic White card and added the sold image overtop in Polished Pink ink. These were then die-cut using the same set of dies. Using a sponge dauber, I added Coastal Cabana ink along the bottom wedge to the die-cut flowers to disguise the white border and help them blend into the pot. I adhered the flowers and pot together using Dimensionals and then mounted it onto the card front.

The Geranium leaves were stamped in Old Olive ink onto the scrap white card, the outline in full strength and the in-fill in 2nd generation. It was die-cut out and added to the card front on Dimensionals with the stem tucked in behind the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it out with Scissors and added it to the card front.

A trio of Festive Pearls completed the card. So pretty.
