Mixed Floral Easter Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have been getting ahead by making some Easter cards for my family using the Mixed Florals stamp set and Water Color Pencils.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the mixed floral Easter card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”
Garden Green card – 3 ½” by 1”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the tulip image in Pebbled Path ink onto the panel of Fluid 100 card.

 

Using a Flirty Flamingo Water Color Pencil I added colour to the tulips, darker at the bottom fading to nothing at the top and used a Water painter to smooth out the colour and add shading.

 

The tiny flowers were coloured with Watercolor Pencils, Pumpkin Pie for the flower centres and Daffodil Delight for the petals. The Water painter smoothed out the colour.

 

The leaves were coloured with a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil and again smoothed out with my Water Painter. The whole panel was adhered to the Garden Green layer. A length of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the bottom of the panel, secured on the back and added the layer to the Flirty Flamingo card base on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment, from the Throughout the Years stamp set was stamped on the strip of Garden Green card using Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front after trimming off the excess card.

 

A Baker’s Twine bow and a trio of Earth Tones Gems completed the card.

1. All the Watercolor Pencils used came from the Nature’s Painting Kit. You can also get them in the mixed packs – Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green are in Watercolor Pencil Assortment 2 and Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie in Assortment 1.
