Hello everyone! Spellbinders' Large Die of the Month is a very large, gorgeous set made up of many florals and foliage. I am absolutely in love with these dies. Today's card is a pretty floral design on a colour blocked background. The colour blocking adds a subtle touch of interest to the floral design and is easy to do .... my mantra ... EASY TO DO!
Bristol Smooth card stock was colour blocked with blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks beginning with one third of the left hand side using a combination of Black Soot, Villainous Potion and Picked Raspberry. This area was masked with Post It Note Tape.
Working on the other two thirds of the panel, the bottom third was masked and inked with Black Soot, Villainous Potion and Picked Raspberry ... again!
Masking each section, the middle section was inked with Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar and the top one with Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade.
The panel was trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to a black top folding, A2 sized card base.
The flowers and leaves were cut from Bristol Smooth card stock.
The flowers were inked with blending brushes using Distress Oxide inks Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry or Spun Sugar.
Simon Says Stamp's Pawsitively Saturated Inks Limelicious and Pearfection were used on the leaves.
The flowers were put together and hand shaped.
The two layered flowers were first adhered with a foam square on the top and bottom of the colour blocked panel.
The sentiment from the January Clear Stamp of the Month was stamped in the middle colour block with Black Versafine ink.
The rest of the flowers were then positioned in combination with the leaves to complete the composition.
Clear crystals were adhered to the centres of the flowers and a combination of pink and black crystals were used to embellish the card.
