Red Moon Floral - Tutorial #198
I had a little fun with Circles this morning. I also used a lot of red in this creation, which I never do. It gave it a bit of Oriental feel, don’t you think?
Let’s get right into the tutorial 
Supplies:

| Paper: Stampin’ Up Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Basic Black |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up Creamy Caramel, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Close to Cocoa |
| Accessories:Versamark Pad, Sharpie Gold Paint Marker, Gold Gel Pen, Black Marker, Brayer, Sponge, White Gel Pen, Stampin Up Markers |

Stamped Floral image by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then colored colored the flowers with a Real Red Marker and the leaves and branch with a Basic Black marker an then huffed on it and stamped it on a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Now that my image is heat embossed it will resist ink put over it.
Brayered Creamy Caramel ink at an angle on the card stock.
Cut a circle from with my Curvy Cutter out of a scrap piece of card stock.
Used the Negative piece as a mask and sponged on Riding Hood Red ink inside the masked area.
Brayered Riding Hood Ink at an angle on the card stock.
Stamped Side “A” of the Marble Texture Cube using Riding Hood Red Ink.
Stamped side “C” of the Marble Texture Cube using Close to Cocoa Ink.
Sponged Close to Cocoa ink on the right side of the card stock.
Used the cut out circle and put it over the sponged circle on the card stock and then traced around it with a Gold Gel Pen.
Used a Larger Negative Circle and traced around it to create the second gold circle.
Used a Gold Sharpie Paint Marker and went around the outside edge of the card stock.
Used a Big Shot Texture Plate on a Riding Hood Red panel and then Brayered Riding Hood Ink on it to bring out the design more on the card stock.
Extended the branch to go over to the edge of the main image panel. Also used a white gel pen to make the dots on the flowers more predominate.
Sponged Basic Black ink around the edge of the Riding Hood Red panel.
Assembled the card and here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your Saturday be super fun! I am off to play.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

Love the colours. It really does have an Oriental feel. Another beautiful card Michelle. Have fun playing and Happy Easter.
Pretty!
This is awesome, love the deep rich colors you use, makes everything dramatic.
Oh, my….color me officially “wowed”! This is gorgeous, Michelle! I have now been completely pushed over to needing the circle cutter, lol…
OMGosh!!! What a stunning card!! This is beautiful, Michelle!
Absolutely gorgeous Michelle. Do you happen to know the kit # for that texture plate you used. I have looked all over and can’t seem to lay my hands on that one.
Thanks for all your hard work posting these wonderful tutorials.
Phyllis
Wow, Love it!! Great Asian feel and the colors are so beautiful and classic!!
WOW !!!!
Michelle! I’ve been thinking about coloring over VersaMark with markers!! I have lots and lots of solid stamps - I really like the technique of blending on them. I’ve thought about trying it with your brayer embossing technique but had done done it yet. Thank you for this tutorial! I’m gonna try!!
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
I love the red. A beautiful, dramatic card.
Awesome card Michelle. love the colors and the oriental look and feel.
Happy Easter
You should do red more often, if you can make it look this good! Another great card. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter to you and yours.
Awe MAN OH MAN this is a beauty!!!! I’m so glad you used the Cube. I went out and got one some time ago and then didn’t use it again since I finished that one project. Red and Close to Coco!!! I would never have thought to put those two together for the marbling and I love the effect. Michelle you’re a genious!!!! I don’t have all the colors or a die cutter but I think I can “fake” it. Thank you for doing these outstanding tutorials! Happy Easter to you and yours.
Absolutely stunning! TFS and have a good Easter!
Beautiful card Michelle. Happy Easter!

This ist a beautiful card Michelle. Fantastic.
Happy Easter.
Hugs from germany

This is gorgeous! I love the way you used the marbled cube and the circles.
I love this card. I love anything Oriental!
What comes to mind… Understated Elegance.
Thank you for sharing, Marilyn
Thanks so much for sharing your techniques - this is just georgous! Wish I lived closer to attend you workshops. AZ is just too far away!
Stunning card Michelle! I don’t use red very often either. It always reminds me of Valentines or Christmas. This card, however, does not remind me of those things. Very elegant and peaceful. Thanks for sharing the tutorial with us!
beautiful
Michelle…I didn’t see this until Easter evening. What a beautiful, peaceful card. We are all blessed to have you sharing your artistic abilities. Thank you…
Have a blessed Easter…Patty
Lovely card Michelle.
This one really inspired me to have a go, and I managed to produce 3 lovely cards which I am very proud of. I will be enjoying another brayer/sponging session today, expanding on yesterday’s playtime.
thank you for your inspiration….. Karen
Wow this is so dramatic I really like it a lot, and the colors blew me away. Yes Michelle as some one just said you are a genius. TFS
Evelynn
Michelle … this card is simply stunning! I love it and want to try it … I have that stamp set and can’t wait to use it! However, my samples never come out as nice as yours! hehehe!
This is an awesome tutorial! Was just surfing and came across it, to my surprise, by YOU! I’m hoping you will demo this technique when you are in Buffalo. TFS, Pixie
I love the red! Please use more of it, even though you say you don’t usually like doing so. This is a winner among winners. Love the dramatic feel of it that just seems to jump off the card.
