Morning glory

August 3, 2018 4 Comments

Have you ever noticed how generic many flower shapes are?  Take the gorgeous line art image in the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!, the other day I created a watercoloured project and thought that they were petunias.  Today I was desperately trying not to colour them purple or pink and in colouring them blue seemed to have created morning glory.  Whatever they are, you have to admit that these flowers are beautiful.

Floral card created using the Blended Seasons Stamp Set and Stampin' Blends alcohol markers from Stampin' Up!

So this project started with the large floral image from the Blended Seasons Stamp Set stamped onto a piece of Whisper White Card with Night of Navy ink.  Then I coloured the image using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers in light and dark Pool Party, light and dark Daffodil Delight and dark Old Olive.

TIP – If one of your Stampin’ Blends runs out and you haven’t yet received a replacement, try colouring with an entirely different colour.  I used the light Daffodil Delight and dark Old Olive on my leaves today!

Once I was finished colouring I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix the piece to a layer of Pool Party Card.

ASSEMBLING THE PROJECT

I really wanted the coloured panel to be the star of this project so I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Night of Navy Card, folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create a card base.  Then the layered floral panel was mounted onto the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another layer of Whisper White Card I used Night of Navy ink to stamp just a section of the floral image across the top right and bottom left corners, I also stamped a section of the image across the bottom left corner on the front of a Whisper White Medium Envelope.

DID YOU KNOW? – You can use any of Stampin’ Up!s classic ink pads to stamp images for colouring using Stampin’ Blends.

I placed a piece of scrap paper inside the envelope (to absorb any excess colour from the Stampin’ Blends) and then all three images were coloured in to match the flowers on the front of the card.  I decided to add a little shimmer to all my yellow flower centres with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and set it aside for a minute to dry.

Finally the Whisper White layer was fixed inside the card base with liquid glue and my card was finished.

I could have added a sentiment, but to be honest I’m still undecided on that.  Not all cards have to have sentiments right?

    Love the card and your coloring. What are the dimensions of the cardstock? I would like to keep them in my favorite card designs.

      Thank you Gail, I’m in Canada so I start with letter size card and work in inches. The Night of Navy base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored on the long side at 4-1/4″. The Pool Party mat is 3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″ and the Whisper White panel on top is 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″.

    Oh I’m glad that you thought of Morning Glorys too … that’s what I thought of when I first saw them, and you’re so right about the “multiple choices” SU’s flowers can be … maybe just depending on how we colour them? Yours are lovely this morning and such a lovely “fresh” card … got to love those Blends!!! Thanks Tracy!

      Thank you Geraldine. I just feel that I’m always reaching for the pinks and purples when I colour flowers, so I was trying to fight that urge. I’m really pleased with how they turned out even without my light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
