Come To Me

 




Hi Friends! 

This week we are highlighting the gorgeous floral stamp sets from Stamp Simply

I love the different floral stamps at Stamp Simply and decided to pull out the Pretty Poppies Bundle and paired it with the Words of Encouragement stamp set, some background stamping/stenciling, a scrap piece of My Valentine designer paper (Carta Bella), a lace die and a few pearls (all from Stamp Simply).

I also used my sewing machine for the zig zag stitching on this easy Mixed Media card.



The white cardstock background was created by using the Flourish stencil and distress oxide inks before repeatedly stamping the background strip stamp from Pretty Poppies with the same distress oxide inks over the stenciling.

The strip of My Valentine paper was placed on a diagonal along with the crochet die cut from white cardstock.

Once in place the background was distressed and stitched onto another piece of white cardstock before being layered onto black cardstock. 

The Pretty Poppies floral image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock and was colored with watercolor pencils ,markers- water based along with a clear glitter marker and an extra fine white paint pen. Once the coloring is finished, die-cut with the coordinating die.



The Words of Encouragement verse sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The photo corners were hand cut from scrap paper and a pearl was added to the center.

The floral image was mounted with dimensional foam and the entire panel was adhered to a white card base to finish off the card. 

Many of you who follow my blog know that I have a personal goal to create a card with each of the over 950+ sketches at Splitcoastampers and I used the SC944 Sketch for the layout. 

I am also playing along with the Word Art Wednesday #595-#596 "Anything Goes" Challenge.
