Floral Essence on Parisian Flourish

Elegantly simple floral card: Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder and Floral Essence Bundle

This is a more pared down card using a Floral Essence flower that was leftover when I made this, rather more flamboyant, card! 

I've used the same products with a very different result.  I think I like this one more!

Poppies on Woven Threads

I love how easy it is to create a lovely card with the Peaceful Poppies Suite!

I was really excited when my Peaceful Poppies Suite of products arrived this week, so immediately put together a bunch of flowers and foliage which led to three cards.  This is the first.

Thank you for visiting.

Beautiful Day For A Golden Rose

This card is gloriously rich in gold!

This card makes me so happy that it was hard to give it away!  It uses another of the watercolour backgrounds with Golden Glitz that I made recently.  This one used Blushing Bride cardstock.

Once the background was very dry, I gave it a wipe with my Embossing Buddy and then gold heat embossed the flower from the Beautiful Day stamp set.

I painted the flower with Real Red, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss inks and then added highlights with Golden Glitz metallic ink.  I squeezed some of the gold ink onto a block so that I could paint it onto the edges of the petals quite thickly and then softly blend it back towards the inner part of the petal.

I added a shadow under the flower with Garden Green ink.

Then I decided that the background was just a little too plain, so I stamped on some foliage from the Botanical Bliss stamp set with Golden Glitz metallic ink.

The greeting is also from the Botanical Bliss stamp set and I gold heat embossed it onto Blackberry Bliss card before cutting it out with one of the dies in the Beautiful Boughs die set.  I sponged some more of the Golden Glitz metallic ink around the edge before attaching it to the card front.

To A Wild Rose with Layered Leaves

I'm sure I can't be the only crafter with an assortment of backgrounds, half-finished thoughts, leftovers and discarded bits floating around the craft space! Really?  Am not am I?

Time and energy are in short supply at the moment, so I hunted through those bits and pieces looking for things that I could assemble together.  Not bad eh?

To A Wild Rose - all purpose hand made card

The background was one of several I did a while ago with an embossing folder and Brusho Crystal Colour that is now retired.  (However, for anyone wanting to have a go at this, the new Pigment Sprinkles are very similar but even nicer colours!).

The flowers are from when I was experimenting with the To A Wild Rose stamp set.  I only used two of the three stamped layers so that the card colour became the lightest shade.

All I had to do was layer it all up with some ribbon and a little bit of bling in the form of Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Magnolia Blooms on Country Floral

I was so inspired by the sketch for yesterday's Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop that I made another, feminine, version.

Magnolia Blooms stamp set and Country Floral 3D embossing folder

This card features the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and Country Floral 3D embossing folder.

Having embossed the Basic Gray card, I gently swiped over it with my Versamark pad which created the deeper shade on the raised embossing.  I then cut it diagonally (in keeping with the sketch) and arranged it onto a piece of Petal Pink card.  The base card is Petal Pink with a layer of Gray Granite.

The banners are off-cuts of Gray Granite cardstock.  The ends were trimmed with the help of the Banner Triple Punch.

Using Petal Pink ink, I stamped the image onto a small leftover square of Petal Pink cardstock.  To make things a little easier for my ageing eyes, I used Blackberry Bliss and Pretty Peacock Stampin' Write markers to reinforce the lines on the leaves and the flower centre.  Then I used Stampin' Blends alcohol markers to colour the image (Rococo Rose, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss).

Ready for colouring - Magnolia Blooms stamped image

The greeting is included in the Magnolia Blooms stamp set but I rearranged it into a linear formation.  To do this, I used a Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker to ink only the word "Thank" and stamped it.  Having cleaned and dried the stamp, I used the same marker to ink the word "you" and stamped it next to the first word.  Easy!
