Here is another sample made with the beautiful Thank you set from Flourishes. I made it for last week’s color challenge on SCS.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. Next is a 4″ square of Whisper White cardstock that was distressed with the cutter kit.
The 3 3/4″ Kiwi Kiss square was embossed with the cuttlebug folder Floral Screen, the edges were distressed and sponged. The top right edge was paper pierced.
For the main image I stamped the tulip in Black Brilliance Ink. Once it dries (a good hit with the heat gun did that), I colored it with Pixie Pink (darker section of the flower head), Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss and Aqua Painter. I masked the flower and stamped the script over the flower with Kiwi Kiss. The edges of the Shimmery White cardstock was distressed, layered on a slightly bigger piece of Basic Black cardstock and paper pierced. The Basic Black cardstock had been scalloped on top and bottom with the Scallop Edge punch. May Arts ribbon was tied around the lower part of the image layers.
The sentiment was stamped with Black Brilliance ink on Shimmery White cardstock and punched out with my 1 1/4″ circle punch. The edge was sponged with Kiwi Kiss. It was first layered on a 1 3/8″ Tangerine Tango circle, then on a black scallop circle. I added a small Filigree brad that was topped with a Fire Circle Rhinestone brad to the bottom right of the sentiment layers.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower in Black Brilliance ink and colored it with Classic inks and Aqua painters, just like the flower on the front.
I masked the flower, covered part of the 4″ Whisper White square with a scrap paper that I had torn, sponged the left side with Kiwi Kiss ink and stamped the Script over it (Faux Tearing).
Again I distressed the edges with my cutter kit. This time I paper pierced the top left corner.
Once the card was completely done, I added a Crystal Effect layer over the flower head on the card front and set it aside to dry.
