Brass and Bliss has so many amazing layered floral stamps and they go well with our Color Fuse Inks- but why not experiment with the reinkers and create an ink pad color combo of your very own?
Today’s beautiful floral card creation comes from our designer Kendra. One of Kendra’s favorite things about summer is flowers. Besides crafting she has an obsession for flowers! Kendra has been adding a lot of beautiful coneflowers to her landscape the last few years!! Because of this, she found it fitting to feature the lovely ‘38023 Layered Echinacea’ stamp set in todays card creation. You could easy just stamp the images with ink pads, but Kendra decided to create her own ink pads using our reinkers and some baby wipes which gives a fun ‘fake’ watercolor look. If you have never tried this, we highly recommend experimenting and getting crafty. Follow along to see how Kendra created this beautiful floral card.
- Create an A2 card base from white cardstock.
- Die cut the ‘5619D Paver Cover Die‘ from white cardstock. Adhere to card base.
- Die cut the 1.47″ x 1.95″ marquee from the ‘5917-01D Rounded Marquee Nested Dies‘ from white cardstock. Stamp the ‘You brighten my day!’ sentiment from the ‘38023 Layered Echinacea’ in black ink closer to the left side. Adhere with pop dots to a white die cut 1.84″ x 2.42″ marquee from the ‘5917-01D Rounded Marquee Nested Dies‘. Adhere to card base near the left center.
- Stamp the coneflower from the ‘38023 Layered Echinacea’ in black ink.
- Kendra placed a baby wipe on her glass crafting mat. Then added a few drops of reinker on the baby wipe close together. Kendra used ‘Color Fuse Set 5; Fuchsia’ and ‘Color Fuse Set 6; Orchid’ for the flower petals, ‘Color Fuse Set 1; Lemon’ for the flower centers and ‘Color Fuse Set 11; Melon and Grass’ for the leaves. Lightly dab the baby wipe with the selected image and stamp on floral image. (Don’t be afraid to ‘test’ on another piece of paper) Use an alcohol marker to color in the stems.
- Die cut coneflower with coordinating die from ‘38023D Layered Echinacea Dies’. Adhere with foam mounting tape to the right of the sentiment layers.
- Finish by adding a few rhinestones around the coneflowers.
