Hello folks – it’s Monday here and c-o-l-d: 21 degrees w/ winds gusting to 20 mph. what happened to our Spring? Right… Spring means variant weather, so there it is. My card today shouts Spring… and it’s reminiscent of my card for Thursday’s Blog Hop.
Can you see that fun background? It’s the Stitched Greenery Die used on a Basic White piece then adhered directly to the Thick Basic White card base, standard A2 size. The Pansy Petals 12 x 12 DSP is cut 1 x 45 1/4 and adhered directly to 3 1/4 x 4 3/8 Calypso Coral. I wrapped a length of the Cotton Ribbon in Petal Pink around the two, tied a bow & secured it with a glue dot. This was adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.
I stamped the wonderful image from Honeybee Home stamp set with Stazon ink on Shimmery paper. I used Stazon ink as I wanted to watercolor the image and this ink works best with watercoloring. :O) Using a water painter and Daffodil Delight ink, I pressed really hard on the ink pad to get ink onto the lid, and colored the flowers. I did the same process with Soft Succulent ink and a water painter for the leaves on this image. Using the coordinating Honeybee Bloom Dies, I die cut the image, put Mini Dimensionals on the back and adhered it over the ribbon. For a final touch I added three Bumblebee Trinkets.
Here’s a closer look at the sweet Bumblebee Trinkets.
For the inside I used another stamp from the Honeybee Home stamp set, stamped in Stazon ink again, this time on a Basic White panel. These flowers were colored with Calypso Coral ink and a watercolor painter, using the same process as above. Here’s a photo of the ink pad with ink squeezed onto ink pad and a water painter to color the flowers.
To the right is the completed inside: stamped & water colored. Notice how the flowers vary in shading – that’s intentional!! No two flowers are exactly the same in nature and shouldn’t be when we color them :O)
The panel was adhered to the inside of the card with liquid glue.
And the envelope… another piece of Pansy Petals DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Perfectamundo.
