Belle Flower Card created for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge 31

 

I love this gorgeous background stamp (Big Bold Backgrounds – Belle Flower). I stamped it with Versamark onto white card and heat embossed the image with pearl green embossing powder. I then over stamped the border (from Harlequin Rose) and sentiment (from Rose Stem Script) and embossed with glittery pink powder. I drew around a large flower die with pink glitter pen to create the sentiment plate. Then coloured the image with watercolour and glitter pens.

Materials:

• Big Bold Backgrounds – Belle Flower, Harlequin Rose and Rose Stem Script stamps
• 6 X 6 inch card blank, white stamping card
• Versamark Inkpad
• Embossing powders: Pale green with mica and bright pink with glitter
• Watercolour pens and water based glitter pens (greens and pinks)
• Fine tipped glitter pen (pink) and alcohol markers (deep pink and pale grey)
• Large floral shaped die (or template)

Step By Step:

1. Stamp the background with Versamark ink and heat emboss with green powder.
2. Over stamp the sentiment and border with Versamark and heat emboss with the pink powder.
3. Draw around the floral template with the fine tipped glitter pen. Colour the background image with watercolour and glitter pens using a water brush to blend out colours.
4. Use the grey alcohol marker to add a little shading under the sentiment plate to make it appear 3D.
5. Trim the stamped image. Edge the card blank and topper with alcohol marker to frame and glue down.
