Hi everyone. I have a birthday card featuring the new Backyard Floral Stems die. I also using the new Curlicue Plate as a stencil.
Background:
Die cut the Curlicue Plate from the Black Glossy paper to create a stencil. The glossy paper is best to use as a stencil as it wipes up and die cuts easily. Stencil a piece of Open Studio Watercolor paper using stencil brushes on the following Element ink pad Pine, Mermaid, and Blue Lagoon. Ink blend the colors randomly, overlapping the colors. Remove the stencil and lightly ink blend with just the color left on the brushes until the paper is all covered up. Spritz the left over ink on your crafting surface with water and smoosh the color onto the paper. Let dry. Cut down to 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Flowers:
Die cut the Backyard Floral Stems die from Open Studio Watercolor paper. Color using pastel color pencils. I used Van Gogh pencils in greens, yellow, pink, purple and white. Pastel color pencils are easy to blend together as you color. Using your finger to smudge the color together also works.
Sentiment:
Die cut the new Best Wishes Tender Script bottom die from cream card stock. Die cut the top from a matching aqua color from the Fresh Aqua paper pad. Adhere together. Use a clear glitter paint pen to add glitter to the top of the sentiment. I have Nuvo’s Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen.
Assembly:
Adhere the background panel to a A2 cream card base. Tare vellum to just be smaller then the size of the flowers. Adhere the flowers on the vellum. Add tiny dots of glue to just behind the flowers so it does not show through and adhere to the background. Adhere the sentiment to the lower portion of the flowers, showing the lower half of the stems. Add some Pastel Fairy Jewels in matching color around the flowers.
