Winter Flora Digital Stamp Set
I love this floral set so much. It's great for any season but
today I've used the Hellebores from the set. These flowers
seem to love the cold and bloom in the winter outside! Let
me show you how I created my card project.
This is a cut-away card. I started with a 5” x 6 ½”
white card base. I cut away 2 ½” on the front right side.
I chose my background paper. I liked that it had
detail down the sides. I printed out my focal panel after
composing it in the computer onto white card stock. Then
I cut it with a cutting die that looked really nice with
the overall card.
I cut my patterned paper into 2 sections. The first was for
the left side.
The second bigger panel was for the inside. These
panels were ¼” less than the card base.
I spent quite a bit of time composing the flowers and greenery.
I like the elements I chose and by twisting and turning I
really liked how it came out.
I Google Imaged Hellebore and found a photo of them. They
were blue violet, red violet and violet. I colored the smallest
flower with the blue violet palette. The biggest flower I used
the red violet. And the top one I used straight violet.
These are the 3 colored. I was pleased with how they looked!
Sometimes violets can be a bit challenging in the alcohol
marker world. I did use a different brand for some of the
violets.
My focal panel is all colored. I used shades of green for
most of the leaves and berries, changing up the blends. I
also intended to back this focal panel with the purple card
stock in the photo.
I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the berries and the tips of
the leaves and the tips of the petals. This gives a hint of frostiness
to the plants. I cut the purple cardstock to about ¼”
bigger than the focal panel and rounded the corners. I adhered
the focal panel to the purple panel with foam tape. Then I
adhered it to the left hand side of the card only. For a finishing
touch I used very narrow purple peel-offs down on each side of the
background paper. And that finished my project!
I’m loving how this card turned out. It was a bigger card than I
normally make, but I love the result. I have been trying to make
bigger cards…not the same size I always use. I hope you give this
card a try. I didn’t use a greeting on my card, but it could be used
for many different occasions.
