Hello, my crafty friends!
Hope you had a restful weekend and are having a wonderful start into the new week!
Today I have a floral card to share with you! A new challenge has started at The Flower Challenge. Our theme for February is Use Your Latest Stamps or Dies!
I have used one of The Ton’s Anniversary Release items, Happy Place. This stamp set is all about reading but has also beautiful peony flowers along with books!
I started off by stamping the big book decorated with peony flowers on Neenah solar white cardstock in copic friendly Caviar Hybrid Ink by The Ton. I left the stamp on the MISTI tool and stamped it again on a white panel to cut it out.
I colored the image using Copics. The big flower was colored in RV11, 13,14,17 and 19. For the small one I used RV52, 63, 66 and 69. I colored the leaves in YG colors and the book in some E and WG colors. I stamped the small book image on a separate white cardstock, colored it with Copics and fussy cut. I covered all the image with clear glitter and set them aside.
To make the front panel from which I cut out the stamped image, I white heat embossed Bare Tones background stamp on it. As you can see I was clumsy and moved the panel while pressing it on the stamp so that the dots are getting bigger towards the right bottom corner. So note to myself: Use the MISTI tool next time 🙂 !
I inkblended Soft Garden and Cali Blue on the lower half of the panel. The panel with the colored image was mounted flat on a white cardbase and the front panel was foam mounted on it. I then added the sentiment, also from Happy Place set, which is white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock. I adhered the small book using foam adhesive and added three Glass Slippers Round Confetti sequins to finish off the card.
Hope I could inspire you with my card to play along with us!
