Hello and thank you for joining me for this months Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is colouring. I have been having fun playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol………such fun, add in the stunning Artistic Dies and I have one gorgeous artistic flowers themed card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the artistic flowers card, you will need:

Thick Basic card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Pumpkin Pie card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2, one for the inside
Vellum – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Polished Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum.

I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry. Doesn’t it look cool?

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel was then added to the Pumpkin Pie panel using the same liquid glue. I used Dimensionals to add the panel to the Thick Basic White card base.

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Artistic Dies, I die cut the floral group from the panel of Basic Black.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

I love this card; The colours are spectacular together and I especially love the slight sparkle the Clear Wink of Stella has given to the Vellum. So pretty.

I selected three flowers and 2 leaves from the Season’s Blessings stamp set. The largest flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink, slightly over lapping the drawn shape. I added the next flower in Daffodil Delight and the smallest flower in Highland Heather ink.

The leaves were stamped in Just Jade and Garden Green.

Next, I added the flower centres in either Poppy Parade or Daffodil Delight and used the same flower centre in Highland Heather to add purple dots around the grouping of flowers. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped White Baker’s Twine twice around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Daffodil Delight card base with glue.

All Things Fabulous stamp set used to make a pretty floral card inspired by a friends tee shirt

Fabulous Inspiration

Posted on July 4, 2021June 25, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing a pretty card today inspired by a top worn by my friend Becky. I loved the colour combo and design and had to try to make a card using the same idea of flowers and butterflies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the fabulous inspiration card, you will need:

Smokey Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Basic White

Using the group of tiny butterflies/dragonflies, I stamped all over the front of the Smoky Slate card front with Smoky Slate ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

Next, I chose 2 of the flowers from the All Things Fabulous Stamp set. I wanted the larger flower to be yellow and the smaller flower pink. These are both 3 step stamping flowers and I always find these easier to line up if I start with the middle image first.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp se

I began by stamping the middle image of the larger flower in 2^nd generation So Saffron ink. I added the first, more solid image in 3^rd generation So Saffron ink getting a lighter shade. Lastly, I added the final most detailed image in full strength So Saffron ink. I repeated this for the second flower.

The smaller flower was stamped in exactly the same way using Flirty Flamingo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

I inked the leaves in Soft Succulent ink and added some Evening Evergreen ink to the edges of the leaves using the ‘rock & roll’ technique. You take the inked stamp and roll the edges around in the darker ink before stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

All the images were then die cut using my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and the Fabulous Florals Dies. I also die cut a label from the small panel of Basic White card using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

The sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The flowers and leaves were the arranged around the label and adhered using a combination of Dimensionals and liquid Glue.

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

I love it. I hope you do as well.
