Step- By- Step Instructions:
I used the largest scallop
rectangle die from the Stitched so Sweetly dies for the Cinnamon Cider layer.
Stamping:
Stamp the large flower onto the Cinnamon Cider die cut using Memento Ink, then
stamp just the flowers onto the Merry Merlot scraps. Stamp 4 leaves, 2 of each size onto Just Jade
scraps.
I
also like to finish the inside of my cards so I then stamped a verse and a
flower for the inside also using memento ink.
Stamp
the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock. (I stamp and die cut the entire set
and keep extras inside my stamp case and use when needed)
Choose
your mask you wish to use, and tack it down using washi tape so it doesn’t slip
when you are blending. I started using
the Blushing Bride ink and blended in no particular pattern but covered most of
the card front. Then use Merry Merlot
and add to where you want the colour to appear. Be mindful that you can always add colour when blending but you can't take it away. I usually start "swirling" my blending brush off the project on scrap paper before I touch it to my project just to take the heavy colour off. When you have achieved the look you want, carefully remove the washi
tape.
Punch
out the leaves using the Flowers & Leaves punch and then fussy cut the
Merry Merlot flowers.
Now let’s assemble our
card:
Start by placing your
fussy cut flowers and punched leaves onto the flower stamped on the Cinnamon
Cider layer and adhere. Add dimensionals
to the back of this layer. Using a piece
of the Fine Art ribbon approx. 6”, criss cross on the front of the card, under
the Cinnamon Cider layer-I ran a short line of adhesive to the center to adhere
the ribbon to. Then place the Cinnamon
Cider layer onto the cardfront. Add your
sentiment to the front and to finish the flowers off, I added some of the Gold
Metallic Pearls.
Very pretty card and a lovely use of our colours - thanks for joining in with us at HSS this week
