Hello and happy Friday! For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, our theme is Flower Power! I LOVE floral stamp sets, so this is right up my alley! For my card, I chose the Season of Chic Bundle. This bundle has elements for all four seasons, including great florals, and I adore all the dies for layering and texturing.
To see all the “Flower Power” projects created by the design team this month, go to the Stampin’ Fancy Friday Facebook and Instagram pages. We’d also love to see your Flower Power projects! Be sure to tag them with #stampinfancyfriday so we can find and admire them!
Did you know that July is World Watercolor month? Watercoloring is my favorite coloring tool, and I used a lot of it on this card. I painted a Tahitian Tide watercolor wash in the background, watercolored several of my die-cuts, and used a watercolor stamping technique to stamp the solid flowers.
To create the flowers, I inked up the flower stamp with Pale Papaya ink and then used a Sponge Dauber to add either Sweet Sorbet or Polished Pink ink to the edges. Then, I lightly spritzed the stamp and stamped on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
For a little more intense color, I used some 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper to cut the smaller flowers and centers, and some 2022-2024 In Color DSP to cut the hash die-cut and layer in the background.
My final touch was some Iridescent Pearls. They are one of my favorite new embellishments!
Have a wonderful and creative day.
