Hello Gorgeous - Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Gorgeous Friends ! 

Today I have another card created using Hello Gorgeous stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. I truly love the many floral images in this set which I could use to make cards for many occasions.

To start off, I layered two floral images using masking technique and stamped them onto an A2 card size watercolor cardstock. I then used distress inks to watercolor the images and outline the images using Sakura Pigma micron .01 black pen to give more contrast to the image.

Then, I ink blended the background using mini blending tool with scattered straw distress ink. For a more dimensional look, I created shadow using my Copic marker W01, W03 under the florals. For the sentiments, I gold embossed the word HELLO above and word Gorgeous with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Then, trimmed both sides of the card panel using my paper trimmer and scissors. This was then glued on top of a layer of textured brown cardstock and shimmering peach card stock at the bottom layer.

Lastly, I attached the front panel onto a top folding card base to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a gorgeous day everyone !

Be Always Blooming - Mama Elephant

Hello Friends ! When I saw this Organic Blooms stamp set from Mama Elephant, I just had to get it. The floral image look fantastic and I love how huge the image is and able to cover a whole card. This is perfect for my take on Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge theme Fantastic Florals. 

I stamped the image on a standard A2 size watercolor paper using distress ink - tattered rose. The whole image was then water-colored using distress ink markers. To give it an elegant touch, I gold outlined the blooms using Uni-ball Signo Sparkling Glitter Gold Pen. I then added the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Birthday Flowers using gold embossing powder.

I die cut a frame using the largest of Die-namics Stitched rectangle Scallop frame to enclose my focal panel. I cut the edge of the bloom and leaves using my craft knife so as to lay the image over the frame to give it a more dimensional look. Finally, I glue down my panel onto my card base using double sided tape and my card is finished !

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a blooming day !!

Hugs,
Amy
