Floral Friday Dirty Flower on a stencil card

I made this card with a stencil and distress ink. The ATC patterned paper is by Tim Holtz. The flower was in my stash. The butterfly is a stamped image.

Floral Friday rainbow frame art

The wood fence with flowers is from Dollar Tree, and I colored them in using colored pencils. The wood butterfly and banner are older pieces by Maya Road. I initially painted the butterfly and banner with Antique Linen Crackle Paint. I later tried to layer Peeled Paint Crackle Paint over it after attempting to revive the paint with hot water, but unfortunately, it did not adhere well and flakes off when touched. This happened when I was stamping the Spellbinders sentiment onto the banner.

For the other materials, the metallic paper is by Hunky Dory, and the ants are stickers from Creative Memories. The patterned paper is unknown, and the RAK came from my mother-in-law’s stash.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Green Mixed media Card

The Stampin’ Up flower was heat embossed with platinum in embossing powder from Ranger.  Then I used a stencil from Recollections to add some interest to the background patterned paper by K and Co. I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. 

I wrapped some felt ribbon by Current around the bottom portion of the card front but thought it needed something. So I took a piece of blue string and wrapped it around the ribbon and tied it into a knot.

The sentiment die was cut out of scrap paper that I used to check my Copic markers. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

HAGD!

Simon Says Stamp  clean and simple

Floral Friday Roses Slimline cards

On this first card, I inked the stencil with pigment inks by Colorbox onto vellum with white stripes. Then I heat set it with clear embossing powder by Hero Arts. From there, I just cut it down, added mats behind it, added some rhinestones and then added a sentiment onto a red die cut.

This second card has the same background just on Sizzix gold opulent paper. 

You can see the heat embossing on this picture. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Challenges:

Floral Friday Paper Pieced Sunflower Sympathy Card

The sunflower background die is from Scrapbooking Made Simple. I used a host of old patterned papers by Provo Craft to paper piece the petals back into the die. The center of the flower is brown flock by Inkadinkado. 

Then, sigh, I matted the flower die panel onto another piece of patterned paper from that same paper pad. Well…it was crooked and for some reason I thought that I could straighten it out making the same marginal frame around the edges using pinking shears. It didn’t. SMH! I decided to make the whole thing look uneven by trimming the edges in different areas and ways. I made it look like it was supposed to be distressed.

The card base is from Current. I inked the edges so it wouldn’t stick out and compete with the white sentiment label. The sentiment is by Stampendous and it’s cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday Heat Embossed frame card

This frame die is by Scrapbooking Made Simple. I tapped the die cut with a Versa Mark ink pad. Then I added embossing folder. I added pink on the flowers and green on the leaves. It sort of worked. Thanks for looking. 

Floral Friday Paint Brush card

This is a simple card but it did take a while to arrange the flowers. I tried to follow the example on the back of the package. I did silver paper for the top of the paint brush. I think that’s what they look like. The burgundy paper is from my stash, and the patterned paper is by Studio G. Thanks for looking. I hope there’s something in your day that makes you smile.

Floral Friday Flower die card

Patterned paper by Paper Favourites. Floral die cut by Scrapbooking Made Simple. The grey paper that outlines the flowers is the product of a heat embossed background stamp failure. I didn’t get a complete image. In an attempt to save it, I covered it with distress ink. The background still looked like crap so I’m using it for die cutting. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday Part of a Flower Die Cut
