Flourish & Frames in Timid Tiger

 

Flourish & Frames Bundle + Swiss Dot Hot Foil Plate + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

Timid Tiger is this weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color.  This is usually the point that I state how easy the card was to make..... but this card was more labor intensive.  Hot foil on the card front, on the focal point and the sentiment.  Hot foiling, while beautiful, does add an extra couple of steps while creating a card.

I wanted green leaves, so not only did I fussy cut the flowers, but the leaves too.  Well ok, so I fussy cut the bee as well.  

Flourish & Frames Bundle + Swiss Dot Hot Foil Plate + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

Copper hot foil was used with the Swiss Dot Hot foil Plate for the card front.  Then Copper hot foil was used again for the focal point and the sentiment.  I saved a couple of stripes from the Swiss Dot hot foiling to use on the inner card as well.

The flowers have been stamped in Timid Tiger and lightly colored using a blending brush.  The leaves are Soft Sea Foam.  I then used Wink of Stella for a touch of shine.

The bee was stamped in Basic Black, then the stripes were colored with Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends.  The leaves on the wings were colored with Soft Sea Foam.  Wink of Stella was also used on the bee for a bit of shine.

Phrases & Frames with Nature's Symphony

 

Phrases & Frames Bundle + Nature's Symphony Bundle

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is all about Petal Pink!  To show off this sweet color I have used the Phrases & Frames Bundle paired with the Nature's Symphony Bundle.

Phrases & Frames Bundle + Nature's Symphony Bundle

The Phrases & Frames Bundle features some special frame dies that are designed to leave an elevated level of detail when paired with the Impressions Plate during a second pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  I chose to cut the frame out of Petal Pink cardstock.

For the branch of leaves, I applied Petal Pink ink to Basic White cardstock using a blending brush.  This created the lovely lighter tone of Petal Pink.  I added a vellum branch under the colored cardstock, creating a sweet shadow.  I think the antique pearls look beautiful with the Petal Pink!

Gray Granite was used for both the outer & inner sentiments.  Branches stamped in Petal Pink finish off the inner card beautifully.
