Key Ingredients:
- Friendship Blooms Stamp Set
- Friendship Blooms SugarCut
- Everyday Sentiments Stamp Sets
- Sentiment Strip SugarCut
- Stitched Rectangles SugarCut
Step By Step Instructions:
- Die cut some flowers and leaves on Strathmore Bristol paper using the coordinating Friendship Blooms SugarCut. Save the negative parts. I used Big Short Die Cutting Machine for this project.
- Stamp the outline images from Friendship Blooms Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, using the negative parts of the dies for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
- Color the flower and leaves with TOMBOW MARKERS. I used on this card:
- lilac/ violets 620, 636, 665
- greens 177, 245, 249
- Die cut a faux stitched rectangle using the biggest die from Stitched Rectangles SugarCut on Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor cardstock.
- Ink it at an angle using Shaded Lilac Distress and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks and the blending brushes.
- Flick some tiny droplets of a pearlescent solution.
- Wrap a kraft twine around the inked piece and secure it from the backside with a sticky tape.
- Arrange and glue in place all the flowers and leaves.
- Add some tiny droplets of a white gouache to the background and flowers. Let them air dry.
- Heat emboss in white onto black the sentiment from Everyday Sentiments Stamp Sets, using VersaMark Clear ink.
- Die cut the sentiment with the coordinating Sentiment Strip SugarCut and pop in place using a foam tape.
- Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
- Pop the flowers piece on the card front with a foam tape.
