Hey crafty friends! Marine here, back with more flowers to brighten
your day! Today's card features Spring Bouquet, a beautiful layering stamp set that includes
three types of flowers: daffodil, hyacinth and iris.
I decided to go with
hyacinths only in order to create like a field of flowers, and the first thing
I did was to stamp six of them on Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using
distress oxide inks. Here are the color combinations I picked for each flower
& greenery:
Pink: spun
sugar + kitsch flamingo + picked raspberry
Orange: dried
marigold + carved pumpkin + ripe persimmon
Yellow:
squeezed lemonade + mustard see + fossilized amber
Green: shabby
shutters + mowed lawn + rustic wilderness
Blue: tumbled
glass + salty ocean + blueprint sketch
Purple: shaded
lilac + wilted violet + villainous potion
Greenery:
mowed lawn + rustic wilderness
Because Spring
is coming soon, I decided to add a few bees. These are from Sunflower Fields, and again, I used distress oxide inks to stamp the different
parts: mustard seed for the body, black soot for the dark details, and lost
shadow for the wings. Once the flowers, leaves and bees were done, I cut
everything using the coordinating dies, and moved on to the background.
To be able to
fit the six flowers on my card, I went for a slimline design. I cut an 8,5 x
3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and I did some stenciling using
distress oxide inks. On the lower part, I created a hill border using shabby
shutters + mowed lawn. And on the upper part, a cloudy sky using tumbled
glass + salty ocean. Next I cut another 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore
bristol smooth panel, and cut a slim grass border out of it using a die
from Picket Fence Border and I colored that grass border using shabby shutters +
mowed lawn oxide inks.
Next I stamped
my "I'm so thankful for your friendship" greeting from Words Of Gratitude on the grass border using black ink, I attached the border
at the bottom of my slimline panel using foam squares, and then the hyacinths,
leaves and bees using foam squares again. And finally I added highlights and
details on the images using a white gel pen.
And that's it!
This card definitely calls for Spring, and I can't wait to see cute bees
buzzing and flying from one flower to another in a few weeks! Thanks so much
for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hello
there, Waleska here! Today's card is very colorful and brings you spring feel using
Iris flowers from the Spring Bouquet Stamp from the latest release.
To
start this card I stamped all the Iris flowers with the following inks: Lawn Fawn Fresh Lavender, Lawn Fawn Juice Box and Lawn Fawn Blue Joy and for
the center of the flower I used a yellow copic marker, I search for real
Iris colors and this turned out exactly like the ones I like. I then
stamped the leaves with Lawn Fawn Jalapeno Ink. I wanted a very
contrasting background so I decided to use Oxide Inks in Colors Picked
Raspberry and Wild Honey I added water splashes and some sparkle watercolor for
more interest too.
I wanted my card
to look like a field with Irises so I arrange them in a harmonic way and adhere
them to the inked panel. Finally I added the sentiment from
the Big Bold Greetings. This beautiful
flowers look so realistic with all the layers and can be stamped with all kinds
of different colors!
Thank you so much for
stopping by today! Have a wonderful rest of your day!
