I stamped the petals from the Stampin’ Up set “Pick a Petal” by first loading my stamp with Versamark, Crushed Curry ink and tapped the tip of the petal in Tangerine Tango ink before stamping it on the card stock. I repeated stamping and loading my stamp each time in between stamping.
Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored over all the petals with a Versamark marker and heat embossed the images again with clear embossing powder and a heat gun to protect the white dots on the petals.
Sponged Crushed Curry ink in the center of the flower.
Used a piece of card stock that has a 3″ circle cut out of it to mask my main image panel and sponged Tangerine Tango ink around the inside edge.
Sponged Chocolate Chip ink around the inside edge of the mask, not covering the Tangerine Tango ink entirely.
Removed the mask and sponged Chocolate Chip ink in the center of the flower.
Sponged Tempting Turquoise ink around the flower petals.
Using my Stamp a ma jig for place, stamped the word Bloom from the Stampin’ Up set “Bloomin’ Beautiful” in the center of the flower using Chocolate Chip ink.
Created a shadow by outlining the right sides of the petals with a Tempting Turquoise marker.
Sponged Tangerine Tango ink around the outside edge of the card stock.
Added some ribbon, Tempting Turquoise brads and assembled my card front.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be bright and cheerful!
Until my next post. . . . . . .
Huge Hugs,
Michelle
