Out of the cupboard, out of the box came the AUGUST 2018 – BLISSFUL BLOOMS kit. This kit featured lovely colored preprinted card bases, labels, a stamp set full of sentiments and lovely accent floral builder stamps.
Today, I want to welcome Fall.
You Make Me So Happy
The purple blossom on one of the card fronts reminds me of Wintering Pansies.
Keeping things relatively simple, I die-cut the blossom from the preprinted bouquet with one of the Stitched Shape Circles. I added a couple of the kit’s vellum die-cut leaves. To make the flower pop, I paired it with Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is white embossed on to the background to keep the emphasis on the flower as a focal point.
Pretty card, don’t you think?
Thanks
I wanted to create a Fall Floral.
Using only the floral builder stamps in the kit and a little masking I created the spray of blossoms. I started by using the negative of the vellum leaves used in the first project and sponged the leaves in Pear Pizzazz. I then started layering colored blossoms amongst the leaves. To reduce overlap, I created a small floral mask to cover various flowers as I went along. I used a variety of yellows and soft browns: So Saffron, Bumble Bee, Mango Melody and Terracotta Tile. The floral centers are stamped off Cinnamon Cider and the stamens are Early Espresso. To give the blossom more presence, I outlined and spotted the petals with the Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Write Marker. Again, I wanted the focus to be the floral spray and I chose the small “Thanks” sentiment from Here’s A Card because I preferred the font to the “Thank You!” that came with the kit.
Two really different looks. One staying true to the ideas in the original kit and the other a variation using the stamps to create something new and seasonally appropriate.
I think they turned out really well. I chose to keep them unadorned (i.e. no bling) so that they would be easy to mail.
