Floral Joy with Joy Clair Designs

Today I'm bringing you another sweet card using the Floral Joy Digital Stamp Set from Joy Clair Designs.  This is such a beauty and there are more than enough florals in this set to create so many beautiful projects!  Let me show you how I made my card.  I first started by sizing my image in the computer and printing it out onto white smooth card stock.   I also cut down a foilable panel to roughly fit onto an A2 size card base.

Before foiling the panel, I ink blended it with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.  I also die cut my floral image with a 3 3/4" circle die.

I then foiled the panel with a bright green foil.  I next colored my floral image.  I used Copic Markers for this.  Colors used:  YG03, YG25, YG17, YG67, YG01, YG00, R11 and R22.

I left the berry circles blank with no color.  I added shimmer to the center of the flowers.  I next prepped an A2 size white top folding card base.  I adhered my foil piece that I had trimmed down a bit further to a piece of black card stock. This gives a thin black outline to the foiled panel.

I popped up my circle floral piece on foam and placed it in the center of the card.  I added some blue/purple gem stones where the berries are.  For a final touch I added Limoncello Jewel Drops to the centers of the flowers for some dimension. 

 And that finished my card!

I love the overall effect of the foiled background with the simpler floral design.  You can find this beautiful floral digistamp set and many more at

Floral Joy with Joy Clair Designs

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this beautiful digistamp set called Floral Joy from Joy Clair Designs.  I was really taken with the floral clusters in this set and I wanted them to the the focus of my card!  Let me show you how I did it!  I printed out the images in my computer onto a piece of 90lb watercolor paper.  This seems to go through my printer well and because it's 90lb it also fussy cuts easily.

I die cut the patterned bird out of regular white card stock and decided to use the dotted piece of card stock as a basis for the flowers and bird.  I wanted to paint the flowers with a coral shade and I had recently purchased a pan of paint from ZahraAmmarArt on Etsy.  Not only was it coral, but it was a shimmer paint as well!  I started painting the flowers and I was mindful of the black outline of the print-out.  I eventually had to darken up my lines.  This paint is quite saturated with color!

I went over the flowers several times to make sure I had nice coverage.  The full shimmer takes effect when the paint dries.  I used the gold for the centers of the flowers.  

I had a handful of dot cards and I used a green from one of them for the leaves. 

For the berries I used a teal that matched the polka dot paper I was using.  After everything was dry I fussy cut the images.  I took a panel of white card stock and used a textured embossing folder and I die cut my polka dot panel and my sentiment.

I adhered my textured panel to a white A2 size top folding white card base.  Next I adhered flat my die cut panel with liquid adhesive.  I adhered the sentiment and the bird flat.  I popped up the floral clusters on foam tape.  For embellishments I added a few bits of confetti.

This card came together so nice and easy!  And it's very springy!  I hope I've given you some inspiration to make something beautiful today!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!
