I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background. I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!
It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
- Kindest Expressions stamp set
- Paper Florist dies
- Countryside Corners dies
- Blending Brushes
- Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
- Embossing paste Matte finish
- Adhesive-Backed sequins trio
Whew! And I didn't even list the ink and paper! My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
- I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight.
- I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife. Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too. I let that dry for a few hours.
- Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here. I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot. They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.
I LOVE how they turned out.
I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week. Stay tuned!
