Sunflower in Gray Granite

 

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Everyday Arches Dies

The featured color for this weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop is Gray Granite.  I was stumped as to what to do, so I reached for my tried and true Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

Sunflower Embossing Folder + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Everyday Arches Dies

A soft rubbing of White craft ink over the Gray Granite embossed cardstock beautifully highlights the flowers. I have added a sentiment from the Prayers & Promises stamp set.

Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set

Cutting Instructions:
  • Card base - Basic White Thick: 4 1/4" x 11"
  • Card front layer - Gray Granite: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8".  This layer is embossed.
  • Front matte layer #1 - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

Assembly Instructions:
  • Using Stampin' Up! Whisper White Craft Ink, lightly rub the inked pad across the embossed card front layer.  Re-apply as many times as needed to achieve the look you want.  My pad is just barely moist and it took four passes to achieve this look.
  • Using Gray Granite ink, stamp sentiment on label.  Use dimensionals to adhere to card front layer.  I had a small amount of overhang that I trimmed off by hand.
  • Adhere card front layer to front matte layer #1.  Adhere to front matte layer #2.  Adhere to front of card base using dimensionals.
  • Scatter pearls on card front.
