simon says stamp monday challenge: beautiful blooms
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the 4 Legged Friends challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too 🙂
This week our challenge is Beautiful Blooms and I have created a sunflower card for a friend who loves them using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Blossom Thinlits. I started by spraying a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Distress Spray Stain in Tumbled Glass. Then I stamped the Ledger Script randomly using Hickory Smoke Distress Arcihval Ink.
To create the sunflowers, I cut the Blossom die from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and inked the centers with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo and set them aside. Then I assembled the flowers by adhering them together and ink blending over the top with my Simon Says Stamp Blending brushes, using the smaller brushes to shade them in. Once that was done, I used my Distress Watercolor Pencils to give the area near the centers some shading. I adhered one of the flowers to the card, then adhered part of the other flower, trimmed it and adhered the remaining part until I had four partial flowers surrounding it.
I stamped and embossed the Hello There sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set onto a piece of black cardstock and adhered it. Finally I splattered some Opaque White over the entire panel and adhered it to a card base.
