Stampin' with Floral Statements for #GDP093 #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by. It's Jay here and just wanted to share my entry for the Colour Challenge at Global Design Project #GDP093 using Floral Statements and the colours below:

You may have seen my quick and easy cards using this stamp set on our previous blog post but for this challenge I stepped it up a bit more and used Whisper White card.

1. Stamp the image using Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad
2. Use Blender Pens to apply Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist on the stamped image
3. Add depth by using Aqua Painters with Pool Party around the edges of the image
4. Stamp the stamens from Jar of Love stamp set in Pool Party from top left to bottom right
5. Layer on black card with 2.5mm border around and put aside for later
6. Mask off the sentiment on the stamp using Washi Tape and apply Berry Burst ink on the flowers and leaves only
7. Stamp on the border of the Whisper White card base using 1st and 2nd Generation technique
8. Repeat until all edges are covered then adhere the topper
9. Cut a small strip of Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon and Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon and place on the bottom left of the card
10. Use Tear and Tape to stick loops of Copper Metallic Thread
11. Use the Pansy Punch on Pool Party card and scrunch the flower to add more texture
12. Stamp the stamen in Berry Burst then add Pool Party dots with the Stampin' Marker
13. Adhere punched flower on top of the thread and ribbons then shaped to imitate the stamped flowers
14. Finish off with 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the flowers

Create Quick and Easy Cards with the Floral Statements #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by today. We are sharing a few recent projects using the Floral Statements Stamp Set we received last week.

This set is great for quick and easy cards due to the intertwined flowers within the large sentiments. The images are easy to colour as there are cross hatching marks where you can add the shadows. Jay used the Watercolour Pencils with the Aqua Painters for the card below.
Colours used: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Early Espresso

Use the Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad when using the Aqua Painters to colour your projects.

The 3 cards below were coloured and mounted on black card to show how they are ideal as postcards too. From left to right, colours used were:
Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo & Tranquil Tide
Pacific Point & Old Olive
Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive & Early Espresso

You can create a softer look by using your inkpads to colour the flowers ~ press the lid and back of the ink pad gently to transfer the ink onto the lid tray then apply to your project using the Aqua Painters. This was used for the card on the left above.

If you prefer a more intense contrast with bolder colours like the middle and right cards above, use the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad and just Watercolour Pencils. Start off with a lighter pressure as you can always add more later. Use the cross hatching within the images to help guide you where to add more pressure for intense colours or shadows.

For an even quicker card, just add Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers, adding shimmer and contrast to the Very Vanilla card base and finish off with the Linen Thread. The photo doesn't show the contrast as much but we both really like this card. Don't forget, you can also add a hint of colour with your Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush if you want another look :)
