Bust out those Alcohol Inks and color up a bright floral card for Mother’s Day.
Today our designer Shelly is coloring up a stunning floral card that’s bright and happy. Shelly said, “With flowers blooming and springtime in the air I can’t help but think Mother’s Day is right around the corner. With that being said, my card focused for that special mom.” We love how the color pops against that Kraft paper.
- Start with a piece of white cardstock that is marker friendly.
- Stamp on the floral image from 37014 Hellebore Floral stamp set using black ink.
- Color the image using alcohol markers. (In this case, I chose reds and pinks.)
- Use the 37014D Hellebore Floral coordinating die with the colored image.
- Set aside.
- Using a piece of brown paper that is textured with woodgrain die cut a rectangle using the 5819-03D Nested Rounded Rectangle w/Stitch die. (use largest die) (Note: if you don’t have any woodgrain textured paper, you can achieve the look by using brown paper with a woodgrain embossing folder.)
- Place (don’t adhere) the die cut flowers over the die cut rectangle paper.
- Add white paint splatters.
- Let dry.
- Using an White A2 size cardbase, remove the die cut flowers with splatters from the rectangle, then adhere the rectangle with paint splatters to the card base.
- Adhere the die cut flowers with paint splatters to the card using foam tape on the back.
- Set aside.
- Using two shades of pink (light pink and dark pink) cardstock, die cut ‘mom’ using the 5742D Vintage Alphabet die set.
- Layer the die cut letters together, adhering the light pink under the dark pink letters.
- Set aside.
- Using white cardstock and the 37014 Hellebore Floral stamp set, stamp the sentiment ‘you are so special’ using black ink.
- Use the 37014D Hellebore Floral coordinating die with the stamped sentiment.
- Add the sentiment and ‘mom’ to the card using foam tape on the sentiment and gluing down ‘mom’.
