Shining Wings I – Penny Black

Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great week !

Today I want to share three cards I made using a lovely die set from the Shining Wings collection by Penny Black. This die set is called Layered Bloom (51-818) and I literally fell in love with it 🙂 ! This set has one base die for a flower and two upper layers for the petals.

For the first card, I made two white flowers with a hint of pink on the tip of the petals.

I cut the Layered Bloom (51-818) two times from Neenah solar white cardstock and ink blended the tip of the petals in Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo Distress inks. To make the flowers steady, I cut more base layers and layered them, adding the second and third layers of the petals to them. Before that, I curled up the small petals for some dimension.

To create the pink background, I ink blended several pink inks on a white panel making it bright towards the center. I then cut the panel using a die from the Zig-Zag stackers die set (51-714). To add some shiny interest, I used a pattern from the Border Bliss (15-010) Stick & Shine set. I applied the sticky pattern to the ink blended panel and transferred the purple foil from the Blooming Foil Collection (21-003) onto it.

Next I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Brighten the World (31-056) stamp set and splattered white opaque ink on the background panel.

Lastly I foam mounted the background panel to the white cardbase and arranged two die cut flowers on the card using foam tape as shown in the picture. To finish off I adhered soft pink rhinestones to the base of the flowers.

The last two cards have started from an alcohol-inked Yupo panel that I made using red alcohol inks and the gold Mixative.

I cut out the base layer of the Layered Bloom (51-818) from the alcohol inked panel and inlaid a white base layer in its place. I also cut the petals from white cardstock and added them to the flower.

The sentiment is from the Brighten the World (31-056) set. I stamped it in a curve in black and cut it into a thin banner. I stamped the word “gift” on a piece of white cardstock and cut it using the die for the second layer of the Layered Bloom (51-818) set to cut it into a leaf.

I adhered the sentiment banner and the leaf to the stem.

The butterfly is from the Shining Wings (15-015) Stick & Shine set. I transfered the sticky butterfly to white cardstock and foiled it in gold using the Blooming Foil Collection (21-003). I then fussy cut the butterfly and foam mounted it to the card.

My finishing touch for this card was a golden enamel dot for the flower.

For the next card, I used the flower which was cut from the alcohol-inked background panel. I cut the second and third layer of the petals from another alcohol inked panel and assembled the layered flower.

I cut three more base layers of the Layered Bloom (51-818) from some white cardstock and stakced them all under the alcohol inked flower layer to give the flower some dimension.

To create the white background, I cut a panel using Leaf Stitched Frames (51-552) die and added the branch from the Shining Wings (15-015) Stick & Shine set by applying the gold foil from the Blooming Foil Collection (21-003). I applied red glitter to the dragonfly from the same Stick & Shine set instead of using foil.

The sentiment from the Brighten the World (31-056) set was stamped directly on the cardbsae in black. The front panel was then foam mounted and lastly the flower was added to the card.

As you can see, I had a blast playing with the new Layered Bloom die and the Stick & Shine sets 🙂 !
