Wedding Floral

Hi,

I've got a Floral Wedding card to share.  I have been practicing on how to loosely water color floral images.  But before I could master the technique, I found another way to create the look.   


I thought the flowers on this card turned out very nicely.  

To create my card, I first watercolor a whole card panel and then I stamped the flower images.


As you can see the flower has some basic loose water colors on them,  but they need some more colors.   


Could see the subtle difference?  Next I hand cut them all out.


Then I layered them onto my card base on which I'd already glued a minty green Woodland Rectangular Frame die cut with matching white heat embossed the sentiment banner.  And I add a bit of Diamond Stickle in the center of the flowers.

Christmas Cards 2018-Sep-10

Hello,

I am so excited about today's Christmas cards!!  I am casing Jennifer McGuire's Wreath Builder cards,  After I made a few trial runs (which I enjoyed), I made a couple cards I really like.

I must clarify I tried the technique only and not the product because I don't have them.

The first card I built the wreath on a 4 x 4 inch square white panel, then trimmed and layered onto my card base which has golden heat embossed sentiment.  


After I stamped all the elements of the wreath, I added some Candy Cane Stickles on the berries, and painted some pine branches with Hero Arts Glimmer Metallic Gold Ink.  The gold foiled bow is die cut using Hero Art Ornaments Infinity Dies. 


Supplies for this card:

Cloud 9 Design Clear Stamp 
Ranger Distress Ink (Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint)
Ranger Stickles (Candy Cane)
Gold Embossing Powder

For my second card, I wanted to make it CAS.  So I decided to stamp the wreath right onto the card front.  But I wasn't very successful in centering the wreath.  So instead of rotating the paper, I rotated the stamp instead.


To do that, I secure both my guide (for the stamp, on to the base of the MISTI, the left of the photo), and the card (on the door, stamp size down when door closed, right side of the photo) with washi tape.  I used a piece acetate for adhering the stamp.  To stamp the wreath, I inked the stamp and then close the MISTI door onto it.  In other words I am bringing the paper to the stamp, then I rotate the acetate with stamp using the guide and repeated the stamping.  I hope this make sense.

After I finished building the wreath I added Stickles and painted some highlights with Perfect Pearl solutions.  But I miss judged the distance between wreath and sentiment, so I added a Cardinal bird to link them together.


Supplies for this card:

Winner & Walter Hollie's Festive Florals
Ranger Distress Ink (Barn Door, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Chipped Sapphire, Vintage Photo)
Brass Embossing Powder
Ranger Stickles (Candy Cane, Star Dust, Cool Mint)
Ranger Perfect Pearl Powder
