Today I have a gorgeous busy card, which is unusual for me I much prefer a simple and clean looking card but its so easy to get carried away with this collection.
And even better news to acheive this look I used not one inkpad (ok slight fib the sentiment I used Blackberry Bliss)
But you can see how beautiful it is,
I have a video to go along with this post which shows you the technique I used to acheive the mixed colours x
But I promised a written tutorial since it is a lot of elements but a lot are repeated so easier to have written.
Supplies -
Blackberry bliss Cardstock
Silver Foil Cardstock
Scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock
Frosted Floral DSP
First Frost Stamp set
Frosted Bouquet Framelits
Stampin Write Markers (I used a lot of colours but you can change this to suit you)
Colours of markers I used was, Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Merry Merlot, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Powder Pink, Soft Seafoam, Tranquil tide.
Basic Rhinestones
Blackberry Bliss Dark Stampin Blend Marker ( to colour my rhinestones)
And I added some glitter to a few flowers but again this is optional.
Tombow
Method -
- I took my Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and cut it down to 14.3cmx10cm
- I took my silver foil cardstock and cut it down to 13.8cm x 9.5cm
- Then my Frosted Floral DSP I cut down to 13.3cm x 9cm
- From my Blackberry bliss I used the larger frame die and cut it from the middle area of my card (I call this gutting as no one will see this part and I want to use my card economically)
- With my white scrap I die cut the smaller frame for my sentiment.
- I then took my silver mat layer and using the sprig die I cut this out three times from the middle of the cardstock again no one will see this and we can use it to save on cardstock.
- Once all my layers have been gutted I start to layer them up using tombow it gives you a bit more time to get them in the right position.
- I then stamp my sentiment on to my white frame I used blackberry bliss ink pad for this but markers will work just fine.
- I then layered the blackberry Bliss frame and the whisper white frame and adhered them together, to embellish this I took 3 basic rhinestones and coloured them with Dark Blackberry bliss stampin blend marker so it would match the other colours.
- Now time to stamp our florals and to be honest my advise is play and enjoy playing with your colours to see what you like best.
- Once you have a good collection stamped and are happy start to die cut them all I would recommend washi tape to position them in place.
- Once thats all done bring your card back in and place your sentiment where you wish and then pop it up on dimensionals I used this as my focal point and worked around that to position my florals.
- Dont glue anything down just place everything where you like and once you are sure of the placement start to adhere to your card
- I then added a touch of glitter to my floral elements not loads but just a hint gives the eye something else to catch it.
I hope that you have enjoyed this any problems please message me and I will try and do a quick video to explain it better.
