Sketched Florals - Azalea ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hello everyone!  I've reached a point where I am tired of winter and making 

snow themed cards.  So today I'm bringing you something full of color

using products from

Azalea Stamp and Die

Shadow Words Thank You Dies

I had a picture from a friend that inspired the coloring of this Azalea.  They

are so pretty!  I started by stamping my image onto Bristol paper.  I was going

to use my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and they work the very best

on this type of paper.

I stamped the image with a black hybrid ink and I knew I was going to

want to die cut the image when my coloring was finished.  I took my time

coloring because I really had an idea in my head that I wanted to see in

my final outcome.

I started out using the Blender pen that is part of the Zig set, but I soon

realized that I would probably use up the whole pen and switching back

and forth from green to pink...so I switched to a water brush and just wet

the area I wanted to paint and then went in with the pen.  The difference

between using the blender vs the water pen is that the blender pen will

not wash out the color of ink, whereas with the water pen it will.

As I said, I took my time with the coloring, switching back and forth

from the greens to pinks.

I used a rectangle die to die cut the image and then used the

coordinating die at the top of the image.  I chose my background paper

which was some pretty olive green card stock and cut an A2 size 

panel and used a 3D embossing folder on it.  

I realized that I had to put the white back behind the flowers.  Without

it the flowers got lost.  For the sentiment I used the Shadow Words Thank

You dies.  I cut the shadow from the olive green card stock and I cut

the letters from a coordinating pink card stock.  To add interest to the

sentiment I used a darker shade of pink Copic and shaded the bottom

of the letters.  I mounted the olive panel to an A2 white top folding card

base.  The I used thin foam to adhere the flower panel.  I adhered the

sentiment across the bottom.  For finishing touches I splattered the entire

card with metallic gold and then added tiny gems to the stamens.

And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that I've given you lots of inspiration

for your next floral project.  You can find these products and many
