Hi Friends!
I have another card to share today using a few “new
to me” stamp sets from Unity Stamp Co. designed by Graciellie Designs – Faith
& Hope and The Vine.
I love participating with online challenges and
incorporated the Just Add Ink #390 Sketch Challenge along with the Happy Little Stampers December 2017 Watercolour "Anything Goes" Challenge and the Word ArtWednesday #312-#313 “Anything Goes” Challenge into the design.
If you have not had a chance to check out the above
challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from their
Design Teams as well as their galleries!
To create this card:
1). Die cut a piece of white cardstock using the MFT A2 Stitched
Rectangle STAX Set #1 Dies. Ink the
floral image from Faith & Hope with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto
the lower left corner and upper right corner of the panel, apply clear
embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
2). Once the embossing has cooled, color with a water brush using
a red watercolor pencil and follow with water-based markers until you are
satisfied with the color (I have the colors I used listed in the card recipe
below).
3). Use an alcohol marker to fill in the background and stencil
blue distress oxide ink using a honeycomb stencil. Mount the entire panel onto
a die cut piece of black cardstock (using the next size die in the MFT A2
Stitched Rectangle STAX Set #1 Dies).
4). Die cut a panel of white cardstock with the largest die from
the MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Dies, mount onto a piece of black
cardstock and adhere to the white card base.
5). Die cut a piece of designer paper with the MFT Horizontal
Strip Dies, cut the die in half before mounting onto the card base (per the
sketch). Mount the focal image panel
with dimensional foam.
6). De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder
tool, stamp the sentiment from The Vine with Versamark™ ink, apply white
embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Trim and add the sentiment to the card front
(again per the sletch).
7). Finish off the card by adding shimmer to the flower petals
with a clear glitter pen, white highlights to the flower centers with an extra
fine white paint pen and a few sequins.

Such a stunning card Julie! Love the vibrant colours and inky techniques...Beautiful! Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
Your card is a winner :-) and it is at JAI!! The honeycomb stencil almost looks like you used the bubble wrap technique. The coloring of the flowers is just gorgeous.
