This card was so fun to make! I wanted to pick every color of the rainbow for the flowers, but I knew that would have been a hot mess. ;) So I chose colors that were complimentary and then a neutral.
I started out by using the MISTI and stamping everything out onto watercolor paper. I used Distress Inks and a touch of water for a bit of a more, well, distressed look.
I layered Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink over Peacock Feathers and Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink over Mustard Seed. The Reverse Confetti Blooms 'N Buds Stamp Set has some very unique layering stamps in this set which make it very fun to create with.
I was trying to figure out what green to use for my leaves, when I had that realization to go with a neutral. Hickory Smoke Distress Ink makes the perfect neutral.
After die-cutting all of my images with the matching Reverse Confetti Blooms 'N Buds Die Set I wanted to add a little texture. (Shocker, I know.)
I ran a piece of watercolor paper (for maximum impression) through my Big Shot using an embossing folder. I still love these! Anything that adds dimension and texture is a huge plus for me.
I trimmed the panel and rounded the corners before adhering it to my card base.
I selected my sentiment from the Essentials by Ellen Clear Stamps, Lovely by Julie Ebersole.
The sentiment was stamped onto a die-cut vellum circle using Versafine, Onyx Black and then heat embossed with Wow! Clear Gloss Super FIne Embossing Powder. Another die-cut circle was adhered on top of the vellum and then, using foam squares, the entire piece was adhered onto the card (slightly off-center).
The last thing to do is to tuck in (adhere) the die-cut flowers and embellish!
Here's a few close-ups!
And one more....
