Just Because .
Good Morning , here's my regular Tuesday post for Creative Expressions . Today's card involves making a stamped background paper and some die cut flowers.
To create the background paper I used a sheet of Graceful Butterflies and Dragonflies paper by Phil Martin which I masked with low tack masking tape . I then rubbed Frosty Mink blending ink onto the unmasked areas . The masking tape can then be removed .
Using stamps from the Floral Fan Elements stamp set I stamped the flowers using mushroom pigment ink as shown and then painted them with Irridescent watercolour paints . I used part of this paper to cover the card .
I cut two pieces of card using the Hobart Adornment cutting die . The back of the papers in the pad I used are plain and tone beautifully with the patterned fronts so I stuck the die cut pieces to some of this paper leaving the centre area free and then cut around the die cut pieces . I cut a piece of card to
fit in between the die cuts and another slightly larger piece of black card to mount it on .
I then die cut lots of flowers from toning paper from the pad and I used the leftover stamped paper as well . The flowers were stuck together and the centres were added ( flat backed pearls painted gold ) . I also added gold paint around the edges of the petals to add a little sparkle.
To finish the card I stamped flowers from the stamp set onto the central panel and painted them to
match the background. The quote is from the same stamp set .
All the pieces of the card were assembled as shown here .
It was fun to use a piece of patterned paper and add to it to create a backing paper and I hope this might inspire you to have a go . I'll be back next week, bye for now .
