A Sea of Flowers

February 11, 2019 Leave a Comment

Do you ever find that sometimes when you look at a stamp set you just don’t see all the images and sentiments. A member of my team had exactly this problem with the Amazing Life Stamp Set. I created a Good Luck card a while back and she had no idea she already owned the image. That’s why, for this week’s What Will You Stamp? Challenge, I decided that my Design Team contribution would feature stamps that might otherwise be overlooked. So here’s a colourful bookmark with a veritable sea of flowers.

Bookmark with a sea of flowers and I Believe In You sentiment created using the Amazing Life Stamp Set and Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up!

BASIC START

As always I began my bookmark by preparing the base. Using a Stampin’ Trimmer I cut a piece of Thick Whisper White Card 2″ x 5-1/2″. Then I shaped the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

Next I used Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the ‘I believe in you’ sentiment from the Amazing Life Stamp Set.

With the sentiment in place I filled in the rest of the space on the bookmark with the small flower image.

A SEA OF FLOWERS

I decided to keep things fairly simple with my Stampin’ Blends, colouring the flowers from the outside in. I started each petal with a line of dark Flirty Flamingo around the outside. Then I added a line of light Flirty Flamingo.

Each leaf began with a random area of dark Granny Apple Green at the bottom and up the leaf vein. Then I went over the top with the light Granny Apple Green.

To create the sea of flowers I coloured around each one with the dark Balmy Blue. Then finally I filled in all the space between the flowers with the light balmy blue.

With all the colouring complete all that was left was the ribbon at the top.

I took a length of Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon and pulled out a thread from one edge. Then I threaded the ribbon through the slot at the top of the bookmark. Finally I coloured a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine with the brush tip of the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Then once I tied the twine in a bow around the ribbon I was done.

Like yesterday’s project I decided to break the Stampin’ Blends rules. There really was no attempt to blend the colours and I really like the result. What do you think?

In March Stampin’ Up! ‘s subscription papercrafting kits, Paper Pumpkin, turns six. To celebrate they have put together a kit to make 8 full-size, mailable cards with a birthday theme and an element that is sure to ‘pop’.
