Fabulous Friday Floral

 Happy FriYAY! 

I thought I would pop by tonight and share a stencilled Picked Posies panel I finished up today. I originally stencilled the panel last weekend in Farnborough, but never added a sentiment.

I used Sweet Pea and Berry Kiss for the flowers, Parsley and Evergreen for the leaves and Clementine for the flower centres and small flowers.

For my sentiment I wanted to keep it minimal and chose a simple panel and I decided upon this one from Flower Power #6 and heat embossed it with gold. 

That's all I have to share today. Hope to see some you on Sunday in Peterborough!

Festive Floral Friday

Happy FriYAY! 

Today I have a festive floral card to share with you. This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest HERE and I put my own spin on it.

I decided to dust off and give some fresh inky love to Flower Power #12. I started by drawing a light pencil line down the centre of my 10.5 x 10.5cm card panel and then stamped the outline flower in Cranberry ink. I then stamped the centre flower in Poppy ink and the trio of dots into the centre of the card. 

I've had this little bow die on my die magnetic catcher for a while waiting for the perfect project to be used on. I think the die was a Neat & Tangled one from years ago...? 

I die cut the bow elements from a piece of scrap card as close a match to Cranberry ink and adhered it to my card. I added a little white heart embellishment and my sentiment from Simply Said Blocks Christmas. 

I can't wait to share a new version of this card at the end of the month with a new product. Anyway, that's all I have to share today.

Floral Friday - Flower Power

Happy FriYAY!

Today I have a couple of Flower Power cards to share with you. I decided to do a display board for shows that showcased just Flower Power stamps and I needed a couple more. 

First I inked up Flower Power #1 to make this clean and simple card.

I used Buttercup for the flower and then added some Honeycomb using a dauber for the centre giving it a fun two tone look. I then used the coordinating Flower Power Designer Dies to cut it out.

The stem and leaved, plus the sentiment I stamped onto a arch die cut, I used Spellbinders Essential Arch dies. I then thought it needed a little something else so added the trio of flowers stamped in Honeysuckle to the lower right corner of my base card.

Next up I inked up Flower Power #5. 

This one has just come back in stock after a spell of being MIA, so it was nice to give this one some inky love again. 

Again I used the coordinating Flower Power Designer Dies that match Flower Power 1 - 6. I then coloured with some Stampin' Up! Blends. Another bright and cheerful design. 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see some of you at Crafterama Kent tomorrow.

Floral Friday

Hello & Happy Friday.

I'm back today with two floral cards. I've been wanting to recreate a card I made HERE back in 2018 using the Kindness Blooms clear stamps, but with some different florals. 

First I need to restock my stash with vellum and then I just needed to get round to making the new versions. Which I set to doing today when I finally cleared off my desk! 

I couldn't decided between the geranium flowers in Beautiful and the modern floral of Beautiful Blooms II. So I ended up making two cards.

First up is the card using Beautiful Blooms II. 

For both cards I used the same technique of stamping the flowers in VersaFine clear ink and heat embossing with WOW Opaque White embossing powder. I then fussy cut the flowers out along the top and bottom of my panel, so the middle is still joined by vellum.

Once cut I then coloured the flowers on the reverse using alcohol markers. I chose to colour on the reverse for a couple of reasons. One so the alcohol marker doesn't stain the embossed white lines and secondly, it gives a softer muted feel to the colours. 

I finished the card off with the Happy Birthday from Floral Vines, adhered using foam tape and some Pebble enamel dots.

Here is the same card using Beautiful.

The only difference with this card is I switched out the blue for purple and added a sentiment from Simply Said Blocks III. Also I used Sunflower enamel dots.

I'd love to know which is your favourite card. Beautiful Blooms II or Beautiful?

Such a fun technique and I am already thinking of stamps I could use to give this a masculine twist! Hope you are having a lovely day.

Floral Friday - Hello Lovely

Happy FriYAY! 

With an extra Bank Holiday due to Queen Elizabeth II funeral on Monday, this week seems to have gone by in a flash. 

Today I have another card I made last week using Hello Lovely. 

As you know I am often inpatient when it comes to colouring, so I often overlook stamps (even ones I have designed) that require patience to colour! Mainly because I forget about all the fun and quick ways to add colour. 

I think todays card really shows how colour can be applied in a fairly quick way to add impact to a detailed floral image.

I masked off my white base card around the edges and used my 3 favourite colours, Oceanside, Honeysuckle & Buttercup to ink blend my background. I removed the mask and then used a stamping platform to stamp the Hello Lovely floral in black ink. 

The sentiment is from Simply Said Blocks III and I added some clear gloss Nuvo Drops to add some subtle accents.

Thanks for stopping by today.
