Basket of Blooms card

I love combining elements from different stamp sets to create something new and different and have created a basket of blooms using the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Wisteria Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the basket of blooms stamp set, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White& Old Olive card

I saw a Youtube video  a while ago showing how to colour using ordinary colouring pencils with Vaseline which helps them to blend. I wondered if it would work with our Watercolor pencils and thought I would give it a go.

The basket from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and used the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze watercolor pencils to add colour to the basket. I dipped the tip of the pencil into a small pot of Vaseline before applying the colour, dipping again as needed. The colour went on really smoothly and I was able to get a really rich colour by building up the layers. The basket was die cut using the Full Basket dies.

The stems and leaves were stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Old Olive ink and the die cut basket added with .Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then adhered to the Pale Papaya card base.

The flower spikes from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set were inked with Pale Papaya ink and I added Sweet Sorbet ink to the tops with a Stampin’ Write Marker. The flowers were then stamped onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Wisteria Dies. They were added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut with one of Stylish Shapes Dies. A slightly larger scalloped circle was adhered to the reverse and the sentiment was then added to the card front.

Using the spiral edge die from the Blossoming Happiness Dies, I die cut

the notepad edge from the Basic White card panel. I used a Blending Brush to add some Soft Sea Foam to the die cut piece. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the panel in Orchid Oasis ink. The panel was then added to the card front with the same liquid glue.
