Hi Friends!
Welcome to the #225
{Spring Flowers} Challenge at The Card Concept!
Look at our fun
spring inspiration photo! I loved the bright
colors and spring flowers and decided to pull out a few of my neglected stamps from
Creative Worship (formerly Sweet ‘n
Sassy Stamps) to create a Clean and Layered Mixed Media card.
We hope that you will
take a moment to stop by our challenge blog and check out how the rest of our wonderful
Design
Team was inspired as well! Our
challenge is for the entire month, so we are hoping that you will have time to
create a card and join us.
I enjoy playing along with other online challenges and am also playing along with the Craft Rocket #134 No Designer Paper Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #742-#743 Anything Goes Challenge. If you have not had a chance to check out their sites, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
Ink the floral potted
image from Pretty
Potted Florals with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white cardstock,
apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor the image using water-based markers, once dry add frost white shimmer paint to the petals (hard to see in the photo).
Add white accents to
the floral center with an extra fine white paint pen.
Fussy cut the image and
set aside.
Using Peacock
Feathers Distress Oxide Ink with a stencil brush, stencil the ink onto a piece
of 3 ¾” x 5” piece of white cardstock (I used a retired Memory Box Heartwood stencil).
De-static the lower right-hand
area of the stenciled panel, ink the verse sentiment from Precious
Poppies with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and
heat set with a heat tool.
Mount the stenciled
panel onto blue cardstock, trim mount onto orange cardstock, trim and mount
onto a white card base.
Adhere the floral
image onto the card front with dimensional foam.
Add a few orange
rhinestones to finish off the card.
