More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers


I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers. 

This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock! 

Joan is a master at coloring!  Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.

The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.  

She gave me measurements I can share with you too! 

  • Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
  • Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
  • Season of Elegance DSP 2 pieces at 3/4″ X 5 1/2″

Here’s a view of the card opened:

You’ve created a beautiful card Joan!

Next is a card made by Joan’s mom, Barb. It’s her first time swapping with us and she did a wonderful job! 

Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea! 

She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel. 

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
  • Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
  • White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Beautiful job Barb!

Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here. 

Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray.  She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts. 

The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.   I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.

Here’s the inside view.  Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it. 

I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

    I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card: 

    I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

    You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

    I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

  • Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!


    Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.  

    Aren't they fabulous?  It was sweet & generous of her!  

    For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog. 

    She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water.  She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely.  The fresh flowers lasted over a week!  

    Would you like to know how she made the basket?  Well she made a template to share with you all as well!  Download Sharon's Basket here

    For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog. 


      Have a wonderful May Day!!
