I love how these turned out. I think they may be some of my best drawings yet and I am very excited to showcase some projects I created using them!
My first project shows that you can use the individual bloom & leaf images to create some stunning backgrounds.
As you can see here, I put both stamps on the block together and stamped them all over my Kraft cardstock using Vintage Cream ink.
I stamped them an additional time on a separate scrap of kraft cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. The Aqua Mist Trio for the flowers and the two darkest markers from the Ripe Avocado Trio.
This "Wishing You" sentiment is part of the set as well. I'm just loving the font combos for the YEar of Flower sets. They seem to go with everything. I cut out & adhered my single flower with foam dimensionals, followed by the leaves. They really help to frame the sentiment and bring attention to it.
This second card uses the large vine image from the set. This is SO fun to color! I had an absolute blast!
I used elements from both the Sweet Blush & Scarlet Jewel Sweet Copic Trios for the flowers (R20 from Sweet Blush and R83 & R85 from Scarlet Jewel).
And the Ripe Avocado Trio for the leaves. Isn't it so pretty? Sigh...... I love to stamp!
The sentiment (also from this set) is stamped with Noir Palette ink onto our vellum cardstock. I then used 1/8" Scor-tape at the top and bottom of the strip to add prisma glitter as an accent. The vellum strip is longer than the card front to I was able to wrap the ends around to the back. IT ended up giving the sentiment the appearance of floating just above the final colored floral image.
