Sunflowers - Shaded Spruce

 

Sunflowers 3D Embossing Folder 

This weeks Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic project features the rich color of Shaded Spruce.  The new Sunflower 3D embossing folder is absolutely gorgeous, and I knew it was going to be gorgeous paired with Shaded Spruce.


Sunflowers 3D Embossing Folder

I used blender pens and ink to create this rich look.  It is so easy, and for me it was therapeutic.  I hope you are inspired to make this card.  The instructions to create this card are below, and you will find the products list at the end of the post.

  • Using a water painter, I mixed some Whisper White craft ink with water.  Then I picked up the watery ink with the bristles from the water painter and tapped it on my finger to create the flicks of white across the card front layer.  Let dry before for a couple of minutes to avoid smudging.
  • Adhere embossed card front layer to matte layer.  Adhere to front of cardbase, centered over embossed horizontal strip.  
  • Using embossing buddy, remove static from your scrap of cardstock for sentiment. Using Versamark ink, stamp sentiment.  Apply White embossing powder then gently tap edge of cardstock to remove excess powder.  Using Heat tool, heat set powder.  Fussy cut around sentiment.  Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
  • Using rolled up mini glue dots, apply Tiny Bee Trinkets on card front.

Pretty Blooms - Petal Pink

Pretty Florals + Delightful Wishes

 The Pretty Blooms Dies inspired my use of Petal Pink in this card.  The Stampin' Up! cardstock and ink matching made creating flowers with depth so very easy!  I needed this to be a birthday card, so I pulled the beautiful sentiment from the Delightful Wishes bundle.
