In addition, any purchase from the In My Heart collection this weekend will automatically include the above stamp set.
OK, on to the cards. Today I'm showing off my new Impressionistic Flower stencil set which consists of four stencils,. There are three stencils that work together to create the full flower as well as a fourth stencil that covers the entire flower. There is also a coordinating die which includes a With Love sentiment.
For this first card, I inked the flower with Taffy, Amethyst, and Iris. I added some black splatter for a bit of graphic punch.
For the sentiment, I combined a reverse sentiment strip Hello with my Lovely die set, popping up both of the sentiment elements.
Next, I inked the flower using Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio 9 (Melon, Cantaloupe, and Sherbet).
The flower was then die cut, and popped up over a dark navy background panel. The sentiment was cut from that same navy cardstock and adhered directly to my flower. I added a few sequins from the Cottontail embellishment mix for a bit of sparkle.
For this third card, I pulled out some Distress Spray Stains, using Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, and Villainous Potion. on watercolor cardstock.
I partially die cut the top of the flower, and popped the panel up over my black card base. For the sentiment, I went with a simple reverse sentiment strip which was also popped up.
This last card is so simple. I kept things one layer, changing the orientation of the card as well as the flower, and inking it with Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio 25 (Sky, Dusk, and Night).
The sentiment, from the Thanks Mom set was stamped with Versa Clair black ink.
Super simple, but I think it's very impactful.

Your cards are so unique. I love them
ReplyDeleteLove the modern look of this flower design. I like that it can be used for many design ideas. Cards, scrapbook pages, & gift bags or wrapping paper
ReplyDeleteThank You for sharing your ability to take a wonderful product and use it multiple ways to make each card look different from the others. Changing the colors or the stencil orientation can totally change the look and the bonus is that we get more usage from the product. Anytime we can come up with multiple ways to use a product is a major win.
