Blooming Roses ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing with you this softly painted rose card using products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

Sketched Florals Rose Stamp Set

Birds of a Feather Stamp Set

I love painting images like this and I used Distress Ink to paint it! Let me show you how I made my card!

I heat embossed my image in gold onto sparkle watercolor paper from Paul Ruebens (Amazon). I love this paper as it gives just a hint of sparkle in the light. I started painting and did the leaves first.

I flooded each leaf with water and then picked up the ink colors from a palette I was using. I used 4 colors for the leaves and 4 colors for the flowers.

I wanted this to be soft and springy so my colors really are not bright, but soft. I flooded each part of the petals, put in my lightest color and then added shadows with the darker colors finally fading to the lightest color.

Once the painting was finished, I splattered it with gold paint. Then I cut my panel down to 3 1/2" x 5". I trimmed a piece of gold shimmer card stock and embossed it with a geometric pattern to go behind it. I also heat embossed a sentiment using the Birds of a Feather Stamp Set. I trimmed it out and used a gold metallic ink pad along the edges. I did this for the watercolored panel as well. I chose a soft pink for the A2 size top folding card base.

I've had the butterfly embellishment in my stash for a long time...like years! But it looked really nice on this card. It is metal so this will have to be a hand delivered card. I was actually going to put a bow here and that would have looked really nice but I liked the butterfly better. I adhered my layers together and my card was finished!  I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial.

Lovely Bouquet with Pajama Crafter Stamps

Mason Jar Bouquet with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing my last project for the month

Guest Designing for

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Mason Jar Bouquet Stamp Set

Whew!  February went by in a flash!  So, I'm bringing you some spring

cheer with my card today!  I chose everything ahead of time with this

card project.  I made an A2 size top folding white card base, adhered a

piece of double sided patterned paper to the front 1/8" smaller than the

base.  I embossed an olive color panel for the front that measures

3 1/2" x 4 3/4" and from the patterned paper I cut 2 strips - one is about

an inch or more and the other about 3/4" wide.  I tore the ends of these

2 strips diagonally.  I heat embossed my image and my

sentiment with gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper.

My plan was to watercolor my floral image to match the colors in

the patterned paper.

I put a wash of color on my elements of the image.  I used a watercolor

set that contained a nice rainbow of colors.

My set did not contain orange or purple so I mixed colors where I was

lacking.  I bumped up the color with some shading using a darker, more

concentrated version of the colors.  After everything was painted and

dried, I fussy cut both the image and the sentiment.

I foam taped my mason jar image and then put the sentiment half over the jar

and one half hanging off.  On the part that hangs off I  added the same

same foam tape so it would be level with my jar.  I added some glittery

enamel dots that really looked nice against the colors and that

finished my card!

I hope I've given you a month of inspiration as we head into

spring!  You can find this stamp set and many more as well
