Pot of Spring Flowers

Uncategorized

17 Apr

Hello, Crafters.

Today
I feel like I’m beginning to get back to normal! Yesterday I still felt pretty rough but improved greatly as the day wore on and the antibiotics did their work!

After we had
enjoyed a quiet relaxing dinner last night, I came up to my craft room and created
today’s card!

I cased it from a card I’ve seen in the new catalogue but I’ve used totally different stamp sets. 

Three of the four stamp sets I’ve used for this card are being carried forward – the one that isn’t is Circle of Spring. 

Using
Basic Black Archival Ink, I started by stamping the flower pot, which
is from the Sitting Here Stamp Set, onto a piece of Whisper White
Cardstock (CS). 

 After I’d finished
colouring the first image I’d stamped, I painted a small Crumb Cake area around the base of the
pot to ground it – so far, so good!

Then I felt I wanted to “edge” the
main image so I painted around the image using my Soft Sky Marker Pen. 

It looked OK but I didn’t think it looked great!
 
For the second attempt, I started by stamping the Whisper White
CS first, using the splatter stamp from the Touches of Texture
Stamp Set, and Sahara Sand Ink. 

I stamped off three times, and this gave me the depth of colour I was
looking for, and therefore I stamped a
fourth generation image.

The amount of times you’d need to stamp off depends on how
moist your ink pad is. 

I suggest you do what I did to begin with, which
is, stamp off on a scrap of paper and count how many impressions you
need to get the right depth of colour you’d like.

I
painted my flowers, leaves, pot and grounding using the following
Marker Pens: Sahara Sand (pot), Crumb Cake (grounding), Old Olive, Rose
Red, Pink Pirouette and Sweet Sugarplum. 

I die cut the image using the
second smallest circle Stitched Shapes Framelits Die, and layered it
onto a scalloped circle die cut with size 5 of the Layering Circle
Framelits Dies. 

I adhered the two together using Tombow. 

I
took a strip of Whisper White CS and stamped a light Sahara Sand
background on it in the same way I did for the main image.

Then I stamped the sentiment
from the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set, using Basic Black Archival Ink. 

I
took a strip of Sweet Sugarplum about the same size and fishtailed both
pieces.

To
put my card together, I started with a card base of Sahara Sand CS,
with a middle layer of Whisper White CS, and a top layer of Sahara Sand CS. 

Using Basic Black Archival Ink, I stamped the wreath stamp from the
Circle of Spring in a central position towards the top of the top layer. 

Then I adhered the three layers together using Tombow, and then
I
adhered the main image using dimensionals. 

I adhered the sentiment
strips together wusing Tombow, and then adhered them to the card front using Dimensionals. 

I
added a bit if bling by adding three Rhinestones in a row along the
bottom of the Sweet Sugarplum strip.

I
stamped about a quarter of the wreath stamp onto a piece of Whisper
White CS in the bottom right hand corner, and, after allowing it a few seconds to dry, I adhered it inside my card.

That’s about it today. I hope you’re enjoying thi wonderful Easter weekend. Until tomorrow, happy carfting.

JanB.

    First of all, so glad you're feeling better! This card is just wonderful! I LOVE how you've framed your focal image with the lovely Circle of Spring wreathe in the Black Archival Ink … so creative. Your colouring is just super, along with the c/s colour choices you have used. Really good job there, Jan!! TFS with us!

      Hi, Geraldine. Many thanks for your good wishes. As this card has been so well received, I decided to make a video! In both other cards I made, I kept to Sahara Sand but changed the Sweet Sugarplum to Tempting Turquoise and then Perfect Plum. I think this will be published on Sunday! Tomorrow's video is different from my normal videos! Sorry to tease! ☺☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
