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 :)
