Bloom Away

These two first cards are the same layout just with a different base. The first card has a really rust base and the second card has a very vanilla base. This last card has been added later, it's on a base of rose red with a layer of sage shadow. The image has been watercoloured. The sage shadow layer has been run through the square lattice textured impressions folder - this is called inlaid technique.

Bloomin' With Beauty on vellum



This was a fun technique to do. Base card is pretty in pink with a layer of whisper white. Stamp 3 images of the carnation flower on the vellum using versamark watermark. Emboss with white embossing powder. Use a blender pen the Stampin Pastels to colour in the flowers. Position the vellum over a layer of whisper white, noting where to place the "heartfelt" stamped image and the "birthday celebrations" stamped image.




Stamp Set: Bloomin with Beauty, upsy daisy, heartfelt thanks
Card: pretty in pink, whisper white, vellum
Ink: versamark, rose red
