Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Fern & Flora Dies + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

Last Friday's Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color was Basic Gray. I chose to explore the tones of Basic Gray. I used a very light touch with a blending brush when I applied Basic Gray to the card front layer prior to embossing. I use full strength ink on the stamped leaves. And finally I used a blender pen with the ink pad to color the flowers.

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Fern & Flora Dies + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

I am so in love with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder! I can center it, or off center it. I can use the front, or the back for a different texture. This one is a real winner in my assortment of embossing folders.

Then to say that I love the Fern & Flora dies is an understatement! The fern look amazing with florals or just a sentiment. They are beautiful in any color. The fern add just the right amount of texture to a focal point.

This lightly flocked paper is really a beautiful paper to create with.

Extraordinary Life in Azure Afternoon

Extraordinary Life Stamp Set + Floral Flight Accents

This week's Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Azure Afternoon! Click HERE to see the original post on Instagram. I have chosen the Extraordinary Life stamp set and Floral Flight accents to create this weeks card.

Extraordinary Life Stamp Set + Floral Flight Accents

I started by applying Azure Afternoon ink on Basic White cardstock using a blending brush. I wanted a gradient look.... light at the bottom and darker in the upper right corner. I heat embossed the sentiment using Black embossing powder.... and I got it crooked.... yup, crooked! Normally I would start over and get it right....... but I really loved how my gradient had turned out, so I kept it as is. I used mini glue dots to adhere the butterflies to the card front (and another on the inside).

Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set + Floral Flight Accents

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"

Card front layer - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Inner matte layer - Azure Afternoon: 4" x 5 1/4"
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

Assembly Instructions:

Using Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush, apply ink to card front layer. I started in the upper right hand corner and blended down.
Using Versamark ink, stamp sentiment on card front layer. Coat with Black embossing powder and heat set.
Adhere card front layer to front matte layer. Adhere to front of card base.
Adhere butterflies to card front using mini glue dots.
Scatter dots on card front.
Using Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush, apply ink to upper right corner of inner message liner. Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment on message liner. Adhere butterfly using mini glue dots. Adhere liner to inner matte layer. Adhere to inner card base.
