Welcome to the Kre8tors July Blog Hop, where “floral” is the theme.
It’s hard to believe that next month, demonstrators will be seeing the new Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog, but we will! This made me think of my favorite “year-round” set from last year’s Holiday Catalog that carried over into the Annual Catalog. Let me re-introduce the First Frost Stamp Set and Frosted Bouquet Dies, which can be ordered right now!
Year-round Bouquet
I began with a Thick Whisper White card base, and a rectangle of Thick Whisper White Cardstock that I watercolored with my Aqua Painter and Seaside Spray Ink. This was done by transferring the ink from the ink pad to an acrylic Clear Block, and picking up the color with the Aqua Painter brush. In addition to brushing across the paper, I flicked some spots for interest. Then, I trimmed it to size, creating a scalloped edge, with a Be Mine Stitched Die.
The three flowers were stamped in Terracotta Tile Ink on Whisper White cardstock, and cut with their die. Next, I stamped the middle branch in Pear Pizzazz Ink, and used it’s die for cutting. The leaves on the left were cut with a die from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, and the two sprigs were cut with a die from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock. I gave the cuttings and background texture with the Subtle Texture Embossing Folder.
The sentiment, “for you,” is from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set, which I stamped in Pear Pizzazz Ink on Whisper White cardstock. It’s cute, little, die is in the Bouquet Bunch Die Set, with a real hole for the Linen Thread tie.
To complete the card, I decorated the envelope flap with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder, shown in the first picture.
The colors were inspired by Global Design Project. What a pretty combination!
