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.
