Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some tropical flower cards featuring our Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps and Radiant Plumeria Stamps.
My first card today showcases the beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps. I stamped a number of these flowers in an assembly line, so I had many vibrant colors available to mix and match. Both of my cards today were inspired by a wood texture, so I embossed a piece of kraft paper using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. To emphasize the wonderful texture, I colored over the surface using a Vintage Photo Distress Crayon. Then I rubbed it in with a lightly damp cloth, being careful not to rub it into the background. I followed up, using a blending brush to add Vintage Photo distress ink over the entire piece. For my sentiment, I inked up another piece of kraft paper with the same distress ink, added a stitched edge with the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, and heat-embossed the "Aloha" greeting from the Tiki Time Stamps.
My second card features the pretty Radiant Plumeria Stamps with a clean and simple design. I started by inking a subtle tone-on-tone overall background print using the Split Philodendron leaf image from the set with Gina K. Sandy Beach Ink on kraft cardstock. I had considered adding the additional layers for this set but favored the less busy look of the single layer. I had three Stitched Circle Die cuts leftover (from the card I shared HERE) that I wanted to put to good use, and I thought they would be perfect layered behind the tropical flowers with the wood texture of the cardstock. I completed my card with a sentiment from the set stamped with VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink and embellished with some Pink Ombre Pearls.
I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).
