Be Inspired - Floral Fun

 


Hello Friends!! I am so Excited to tell you I have been invited to join the 

Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop!!!

My dear friend Emma Goddard from the Coastal Crafter invited me!! The theme is a perfect start…Floral Fun!! Hope you are sitting down with your favourite beverage and ready for all the gorgeous florals coming your way!!

This group of crafters includes some of the most creative people I know!! 

A few I am even lucky enough to call friends!!

I pulled out the new Charming Day bundle and ‘inspired’ by Emma pulled out my water brush!!  The images were heat embossed with Smokey Slate and Clear Embossing powder.  What you do is ink up your image with Versamark, then ink it up with Smokey Slate right on top of the Versamark.  Stamp on watercolour paper, dust the paper with clear embossing powder and bam!! It looks like you have Smokey Slate embossing powder.  You can do this with all the colours.  Just be careful to always use  Versamark first or your Versamark will be stamped with your image.  


I used Berry Burst and Lost Lagoon.  I wet the area first with my brush. Then add some water to the ink and lightly add the colour to get the variation in colour to replicate real flowers. 

I pulled out the two-toned cardstock I bought on the same we had recently. Chopped it in 1.5” strips, then 1.5” squares. I then roughed up the edges the. 

Ran it through the corrugated embossing folder. Arranged them in a checker board pattern, flipping to use both shades of Lost Lagoon on dimensionals on another piece of Lost Lagoon cut at 4 1/8 x 5 1/2 

The Cardbase is white. I scored a 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5”


I finished the card with a sentiment from the Charming Day stamp set, a double linen thread bow and some rhinestones.  I hope you like my card and that you will keep hopping to see what all the other amazingly talented stampers have made!!
