3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards

I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

Save

She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

Save

She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together!

And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

Save

She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.

Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!

• Stunning framed Winter Sampler with Snowflake Splendor!!

  December 10, 2020

  ---

  Look at this incredible framed sampler my Team made!  

  Save

  My Flowerbug's Team tend to swap almost every month and in November we chose to do a Winter themed sampler featuring the colors in the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper.  There were more than I could fit in one frame (approximately 11" X 17") so I'll use the others for cards or scrapbooking. 

  I have to point out this super creative snowman Margo made using circle dies and snowflakes.  She clear embossed snowflakes on Vellum under the two circles!

  I am not going to go into detail on each of these elements except to brag on the talent they shared!  I LOVE swapping with my Flowerbugs!
