Petals of Beauty in Pumpkin Pie

 

Petals of Beauty Bundle + Words of Beauty Bundle + Exposed Brick Embossing Folder

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Pumpkin Pie. I've used a vellum overlay as well as tone on tone to create varying shades Pumpkin Pie.

The vellum over the Pumpkin Pie cardstock creates a muted version of the color.  Then for the flowers, I applied Pumpkin Pie ink with a blending brush to Pumpkin Pie cardstock prior to die cutting the flowers.

  • Focal point layer - Pumpkin Pie: 2 3/4" x 4"
  • Focal point overlay - Vellum: 2 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Assembly Instructions:

  • Adhere embossed card front layer to front of card base.

  • Using Pumpkin Pie ink and a blending brush, apply ink to pumpkin pie cardstock scrap.  Die cut flowers.  Adhere all but one flower to center of focal point.  For the small flower on the front of the card I actually adhered one flat and used a dimensional to adhere the second one on top for depth.  The large flower I just adhered flat.  Adhere die cut leaves.  I trimmed mine to a shorter length because for this card the focus is supposed to be on the Pumpkin Pie color.  
  • Using Night of Navy ink, stamp sentiment.  Adhere sentiment to focal point using dimensionals.
  • Adhere bow using mini glue dot.  Scatter pearls on focal point as desired.
  • Adhere 4th flower to corner of the inner message liner.  Adhere to inner matte layer.  Adhere to inner card base.

Sunflower in Lemon Lime Twist

 

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Peaceful Pier Stamp Set

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop, by Crafty Collaborations, features Lemon Lime Twist!  Here is the link to the original post.  I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder to create my focal point.  Then I pulled my sentiment from Peaceful Pier stamp set.

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Peaceful Pier Stamp Set.

To highlight the flowers, I drug my Whisper White Craft Ink Pad across the embossed Lemon Lime Twist paper.  Then I matted in Basic White and another matte in Lemon Lime Twist.  

I heat set one of my very favorite sentiments from the Peaceful Pier Stamp Set in white on the Lemon Lime Twist, and matched the matting from the focal point.  

I love to decorate the inside of my cards too, but I don't have any stamps that look like sunflowers so I chose a leaf pattern from the Sunshine Vibes stamp set.
