Daisies
always seem like such happy flowers to me so I thought the new large Painted
Daisy would be perfect for today’s card.
You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here.
I put the stamp in my stamp positioner and stamped on five
different pieces of Bristol 110# white cardstock with VersaFine Smokey Gray
Ink. I painted each flower with Zig
Clean Color markers in shades of yellow, pink and orange (all the specific colors
are listed below.) After the ink was
thoroughly dry, I returned each image to my stamp positioner, then restamped
with VersaMark ink. I embossed them with
Brutus Monroe Gilded embossing powder, then cut out each flower.
For the card background paper, I applied Broken China, Salty
Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Oxide inks to a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” white cardstock
and then sprinkled a few water droplets on top and let them dry. I repeated the
process on a second piece of cardstock, so I would have a piece for the
sentiment. On the second piece, I also
splattered gold paint over the paper because I planned to emboss my sentiment
in gold.
I adhered the first piece of background paper to and A2 card
then started arranging the flowers on top.
I had originally planned to put all five flowers on the card so the card
would be covered with lots of color. As
the card came together, I decided that I liked it with three flowers (and then
I used the remaining two flowers on another card.) I adhered the flowers to the front of the card,
then trimmed the edges of the flowers even with the card front.
Next, I ended up changing the sentiment and instead of stamping it on white like in the picture above, I stamped it on the second
piece of blue background paper and embossed it with Brutus Monroe Gilded embossing powder. I cut a small strip of white cardstock a bit
larger than my sentiment strip then decided I wanted it to have the same colors
as the flowers. I scribbled some ink
from three Zig markers (Pink, Yellow and Orange) onto my glass mat and spritzed
with water. Then ran the white strip
through the ink. When I had the color the
way I wanted it, I set it aside to dry.
I adhered the sentiment strip with a bit of fun foam behind
it to add dimension. After I assembled
the card, I added glossy accents to the center of the flowers and add added a
few gemstones for a bit of sparkle.
For the second card, I made another piece of blue cardstock
using a piece of white cardstock cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. I splattered it with water and some gold
paint. I adhered the two flowers on top,
then trimmed the petals even with the edges.
I adhered this to an A2 card. I
stamped the sentiment on white cardstock, embossed with gold embossing powder
and used die to cut a circle. I scribbled Pink, Orange and Yellow Zig markers
on my glass media mat, and with a slightly wet paint brush picked up the ink
and sprinkled it onto the sentiment piece.
I used a slightly larger circle
die to cut a piece of the blue background paper and adhered the sentiment piece
on top. I added a piece of fun foam to
the back for dimension then I added a few gemstones for some sparkle.
