Stencil Sunday - Bright Pure Florals Chrysanthemum with matching stamp & die

Bonjour & Happy (Sunny) Sunday !

Izzy here with a card that makes echo to my recent inspiration post (see HERE). This time I used the Pure Florals Chrysanthemum stencil. It is designed to fit with the Pure Florals Chrysanthemum collection (stamp & dies).

 

I've been inspired by some challenges but above all by the pretty colours we can lately see in the trees as well as those of the blooming chrysanthemums.


First I stamped and gold heat embossed the outlines of the two blooms on watercolour paper. Then I watercolored them with some orange Brusho's powders that I melt with water.  I did the same for the leaves by stamping them in green and clear embossing them.
I finally cut everything with the matching dies.

On a square piece of Bristol paper, I blended orange inks through the Chrysanthemum stencil. I splattered some green Brusho and when dry I adhered the panel on a double green card.

To finish, I foam mounted the two blooms and the leaves on top of the stencilled background. For the sentiment, I used one stamp of the Simply Said Blocks.

That is all I have to share today but I hope I inspired you with my card.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a fabulous (& crafty) day !

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Using English Country Garden Butterflies

  Hello!

It's Jane here today using a well loved stamp set, English Country Garden Butterflies, with a newer stencil, Pure Florals Chrysanthemum combined  with Nuvo Shimmer Powders.


I used watercolour card and placed the Pure Florals Chrysanthemum stencil over it. I then sprinkled on three colours of Nuvo Shimmer Powder - cherry bomb, blue blitz & sunray crossette - and spritzed it with water.

This was my first try with the powders and I was excited to see the result. I wasn't disappointed and the colours look even more special in real life as they really do shimmer and catch the light.


Once everything had dried out I stamped the English Country Garden Butterflies and greeting on top using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 

I'm thinking now it would have been even more special if I had heat embossed the butterflies, but I wasn't sure how the powders would react to the heat. Maybe if you know you could leave me a comment below?

Thanks so much for looking today, I really appreciate your time.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Jane
