This weekend I had some time to play with one of my newest acquisitions, the Bold Floral Drape stamp set from Altenew. I love this set! It's so much fun to come up with different color combinations. I was actually stamping with it when my girls were at loose ends, so they sat down with me and helped come up with the different color combinations.
I really wanted to experiment with the set, so I picked three different papers to stamp on: white cardstock, kraft, and Spring Moss from Papertrey.
Lots of different photos and combinations, so I'll try and keep the blather to a minimum. First up the prints stamped on white:
For this one I used Salty Ocean for the background, and then Chipped Sapphire, Candied Apple, and Antique Linen for the flowers.
I rarely use a print for the whole font of the card, usually I cut a mat, but for the backgrounds stamped on white, I went with the full panel card front. I added a simple strip of navy cardstock, and then the Waterbrush Hello die from Altenew cut in gold mirrorboard.
For this one, I stamped the background with Wild Honey, and then used Candied Apple, Twisted Citron, and Abandoned Coral for the flowers. I also added the two little stems with Versafine.
The sentiment is from Janes Doodles You Got This set. It was stamped with Versafine and then clear embossed.
Next, the backgrounds stamped on kraft:
This one was stamped first with Chipped Sapphire for the background, and then the flowers were done with Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple, and WPlus9 White Pigment ink.
The sentiment is from an older retired set and was embossed in white on a strip of kraft which was then popped up over my background.
For this one, I first stamped with Seedless Preserves on kraft, and used Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, and Spun Sugar for the flowers.
For a lot of the other cards, I stamped the flowers multiple times to get a really solid image (use of the MISTI was key to these backgrounds), but for this card, I liked the texture from just the one stamping. The sentiment, from Ellen Hutson's Totally Random Sayings set and was embossed in white on a strip of navy cardstock.
Finally the backgrounds stamped on Spring Moss cardstock:
Here I stamped the background with Mowed Lawn and the flowers with Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, and Lucky Clover.
For this card I used a black journaling pen to add some accents/doodles to the pattern, and then a sentiment from Altenew's Label Love set. This was also stamped on Spring Moss cardstock, fussy cut and popped up.
For this last card I went very clean and simple and stamped only the background with Versafine.
I again used the Waterbrush Hello die . I was die cut from a piece of red cardstock that was clear embossed several times and then popped up along with a black banner strip over the card.
That's all! It really was such a fun set to get out and just play around with. Would love to know which is your favorite.
