Hand-Penned Petals – Feel Better

Welcome back!  Had a busy day yesterday, so I was able so create the card I conceived in my head…this morning.  Hope you like it.

Several challenges:  Just Add Ink (#637) for the Sketch, Alphabet (Letter V) for the Materials, Facebook Colour INKspiration (#136) for the Colors, Can You Handle The Pressure (#24) for the Tools and Twist along with Use Your Stuff (#476) for the Mixed Media idea.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Case Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background: (4¼” x 2¾”) Vellum
  • Two pieces were dry-embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder and added to the top and bottom, in mirror fashion, to the card base.
• Side Triangles: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
  • The panel was diagonally cut to obtain the two side border triangles which were then adhered over the Vellum and to the card base.
• Center Shape: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Feel Better Friend, from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set was stamped with Garden Green ink and then die-cut with the smaller Hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies set and then added to the card front.
• Decoration – Flowers: Shimmery White cardstock.
  • The Grasses from the Harvest Dies set, the Flowers from the Meadows Dies set and the Posies from the Dainty Delight Dies set were all die-cut.
  • All of the Floral decorations were water-colored with the Fine-Tipped Water Painter Brush.  Grasses: Sahara Sand, Mint Macaron and Garden Green inks; Flowers and Posies: Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron and Garden Green inks.
  • The Flowers were then arranged and added to the card front.

Such a pretty soft colored card.  White on White mixing both texturized Vellum and cardstock using a light water-coloring technique for the flowers that are added to the side borders.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
