We stamped the flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the Poppy Parade cardstock and die cut it out using the Beautiful Layers dies. We also die cut the doily from the square of Soft Sea Foam and also die cut a leaf from scrap Granny Apple Green cardstock.

The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay onto scrap Whisper White and punched out using a 1” Circle Punch. This was then added to the centre of the doily. The doily was added to the front of the card. The flower was added to the card on dimensionals and covered with Clear Wink of Stella.

The Poppy Parade strip was then added to the left hand side and the ribbon wrapped around and secured on the back with Sellotape.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink and punched out with the Timeless Label Punch. A leaf was stamped over the sentiment in 2^nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. We punched out another label in Poppy Parade cardstock, cut it down the middle and glued it to the back of the sentiment so that a little red showed at either end. This was added over the top of the ribbon on Dimensionals. We added a couple of die cut leaves.

The whole panel was then added to the Bermuda bay card base.

We stamped the frame in Granny Apple Green ink onto the small square of Whisper White and added the floral piece at the top in the same ink. The same floral image was then stamped twice on the scrap Whisper White in Poppy Parade ink and the flowers were then fussy cut using scissors and glued over the green flowers. Some of us inked around the flower edges with Poppy Parade ink and a sponge dauber.

The sentiment was added to the stamped frame and the stamped panel was then glued to the Bermuda Bay square.

Using a T square ruler and a pencil we drew a line down the front of the Soft Sea Foam card base. The rhomboid image was then stamped repeatedly down the pencil line in Bermuda Bay ink and added a line of rhomboids to the right of the original line. When the ink was dry the pencil line was erased. The square topper was then placed over the top on dimensionals.

All the cards were decorated with Red Rhinestones or Basic Rhinestones coloured in with a dark Poppy Parade Blends Marker.

I really like the colour palette of these cards. I hope you like them.

Bloom & Grow and the ghost stamping technique

Posted on June 7, 2019June 5, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using the new Bloom and Grow stamp set and co-ordinating Budding Blooms dies. I saw a video by TheStampDoc – where she used this set with a technique called ‘ghost stamping’ and I thought I would give it a try.

To recreate the Bloom & Grow card you will need;

Melon Mambo card base
Gray Granite 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White for the sentiment

I stamped the floral image onto the Gray Granite cardstock panel in Versamark ink and covered it with White Embossing Powder…….and yes, I did use my embossing buddy first. I heat set the powder with my Heat Tool and set it aside to cool.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Bloom and Grow stamp set used with the ghost stamping technique

Using the Budding Blooms dies I cut only the top half of the image by careful positioning of the cutting plates of my die cutting machine.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Bloom and Grow stamp set used with the ghost stamping technique

I added a couple of drops of Whisper White reinker to an acrylic bloc and added a drop of water with my Aqua Painter. I coloured in the whole image using the White ink and set it aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Bloom and Grow stamp set used with the ghost stamping technique

I cleaned the ink off the acrylic block and added a drop of each of the following reinkers; Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo. I used my Aqua Painter to colour in the flowers and leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Bloom and Grow stamp set used with the ghost stamping technique

I added the Gray Granite panel to the Whisper White layer and trimmed the excess cardstock away. The Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon was then wrapped around the panel and adhered with Sellotape on the back. The panel was then added to the Melon Mambo card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Bloom and Grow stamp set used with the ghost stamping technique

I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using the Rectangle Stitched dies. I ran it through twice to make a smaller label. This was added to the card front with Dimensionals. I added a bow in the same ribbon.

Thank you to the StampDoc for the inspiration, I really love this technique, it looks so pretty. I hope you like it.
