Tasteful Blooms

 

When I first used the 'Flowering Blooms' stamp set, I was unsure how the deep sketches of the stamped image would work with my Stampin' Blends. As there is A LOT of shading within the stamp. I played with it with several inks..... Black (in this case - Memento ink) works the best to showcase the shadowing. 

Now, to add a bit of depth and color to the petals, I combined a two colors within each flower to get the results that I wanted. Using the Stampin' Blends markers, I colored one flower with Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo, one with Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray, and the last one with Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron. The leaves are all Granny Apple Green.

Flowering Moments

I wanted a simple yet elegant design for my Aunt's birthday card. With the 'Flowering Blooms' stamp set, this one flower stamp (along with it's coordinating 'Flowering' dies) are perfect for that simple touch. I used the 'Stitched Nested Labels' dies and the 'Peaceful Moments' stamp set for the sentiment piece.

The background is created using the Stone embossing folder.

I used dimensionals to make the sentiment piece 'pop' off the page, and add rhinestones for some bling. Oh.... I did color the rhinestones with my Stampin' Blends markers.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Forever Blooms

 

My GodDaughter and her partner have gotten married! Simple ceremony because of the "Rona"... sad we couldn't be there to celebrate with them. They plan on having a larger reception after this crisis is over. Their colors are Deep Purple/Eucalyptus/and Dark Blue.... with that in mind, I chose Blackberry Bliss, Just Jade and Blueberry Bushel from the Stampin' Up! colors.

Just some things to note on my card: I colored the rhinestones with Stampin' Blends Blackberry Bliss markers, and I stamped, then cut out an additional rose to create a full "bouquet" -- AND used a dimensional behind to make it 'pop'.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
