It’s time for the new SUO122 “Fun Flowers” Challenge and I
decided to use a neglected newer stamp set, Beautiful Bunch along with Perfect
Peacock :-)
I decided to incorporate the Around the World AW40 Color Challenge with a modified version of the Splitcoaststampers’ SC523 Sketch (see
details here and gallery here), the MIX119 Texture Challenge (see details here
and gallery here) and the Just Us Girls JUGS292 Embossing Challenge.
I hope you will find the time to check out all of the challenge
sites and create your own “Fun Flowers” project using Stampin’ Up! Only
products !!
To create this card:
Use the Embossing Buddy®
to de-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Perfect Peacock
image using Versamark™ Ink , apply
Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.
Color using Stampin’ Write
markers- Tempting Turquoise, Blushing Bride and Real Red, spritz with water and
rub gently with a paper towel to remove the ink from the embossed area. Reapply the markers as needed and when dry,
carefully “fussy-cut” the peacock and set aside.
Using Stāz-On® Jet Black
Ink, stamp the four to five flowers onto Whisper White cardstock.
Color the flowers with the
AquaPainter™ using Blushing Bride, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink,
add additional details with Stampin’ Write Markers in the same colors and
spritz with water. Add a few white
highlights to the flower centers using the White Gel Pen.
Once the flowers are dry,
carefully “fussy-cut” and cut the flowers in half.
Adhere a piece of Tempting
Turquoise Designer Series Paper (DSP) to a piece of Real Red cardstock, emboss using
the Big Shot™ with the retiring Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder and lightly sand with the Sanding Block.
Emboss a piece of Blushing
Bride cardstock using the Big Shot™ with the retiring Beautifully Baroque
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and adhere to a piece of Real Red.
“Dry fit” the two embossed
panels on the Whisper White cardstock background, use a pencil to note the
intersection at the bottom, remove the panels and stamp the sentiment from the
soon-to-be retired set, Blooming with Kindness using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink.
Trim the sentiment panel,
mount onto a piece of Real Red cardstock, trim and adhere the entire panel onto
the Tempting Turquoise card base.
Add the vertical Tempting
Turquoise panel directly to the card front and adhere the Blushing Bride embossed
panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Position the peacock (do
not adhere yet) and fit the flowers around the peacock until you are satisfied
with the layout.
Adhere the flowers to the
peacock on the edges and mount the entire assembly using Stampin’ Dimensionals® (doubling the thickness
of the Dimensionals® on the left hand side of the card to take in account the
height of the Blushing Bride layer).
Add the two flower halves
on the Blushing Bride panel to finish off the card.
