Floral Spray – Special Moments

Welcome back!  Wishing you a wonderful weekend and trusting that you will find some time to be creative…

Today, I am playing with Double Trouble (#215) 3-2-1 Recipe featuring 3 Layers, 2 Images and 1 Dry Embossing element with a Twist to add a Flower element and to partner with Try A Sketch On Tuesday (#694) and Beautiful Blossoms (#40).

I chose the Creative Colour (#239) palette of Real Red, Pretty Peacock and Early Espresso to complete my ideas.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Pretty Peacock cardstock.
• Card Front: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock. (Layer #1).
  • The Panel was dry-embossed with the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Using Stampin’ Blends Markers, the debossed (or backside) side of the Panel was colored. The large Floral element (Image #1) was colored with Dark Real Red and the some of the Leaves with Dark Pretty Peacock.
  • To highlight the Embossing, the Early Espresso Ink Pad was dragged across the Panel.
  • Using the Hobby Knife Tip with the Take Your Pick Tool, the left top edge of the Flower was cut.
• Additional Flower: (3” x 2¾”) Basic White cardstock scrap. (Layer #2).
  • The above process was repeated, and the Flower (Image #2) was then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• Sentiment Label: (2⅜” x ½”) Vellum Specialty Paper scrap (Layer #3).
  • The sentiment, You Make Every Moment Special, from the Words & Wishes stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Fussy-Cut Flower was tucked behind the Cut Flower which was partially popped up with Dimensionals.  The Sentiment Label was added with Mini-Glue Dots which were covered with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

A dramatic yet intriguing card using the Debossed Highlight Technique.

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