The Flower Challenge Reminder Post #74 Add Embellishments

 

Its time for the reminder post for The Flower Challenge #74 Add Embellishments.

I made myself a full size slimline card which means no matter how I try to share if I stand it

up photos on Instagram and Facebook will chop, crop. So I decided to try this way.

The Embossed floral panel is a slim line long one and I love the partial

embossing and the actually design. I embossed on white cardstock that I wiped over with

 a damp cloth before embossing and this appears to prevent cracking of cardstock plus

I used one thinner than I usually use.

I have then added these beautiful blooms from Altenew, yes this is me using stamps I have

had for quite some time. I coloured these ones with Copic yellows and I love how they

turned out. I fussy cut them and added with dimensional foam tape. Then lots of sparkly

gems. I love how it turned out. Paired it with the Yellow envelope.

Now its time to go see what the rest of the team have been up to at The Flower Challenge

See you again soon

I love this stamp from MFT Flower Field Background stamp. I heat embossed this image

onto Vellum.

I have used Zig Watercolour Brush Pens but without water. I always pick a dark colour and use it together with the lightest colour that way I can add a small amount of the dark colour and move it around with the lightest colour, regularly  wiping the tip off of paper towel to get back to the light colour. I also use my Nuvo Sparkle brush nib to add sparkle and also helps to lighten and remove colour if its too heavy.

DON'T use water as the vellum will warp and buckle.

When I was finished I cut a card base to the size I wanted and trimmed off the vellum,

leaving a bit of excess to fold over the back. This is the main way to attach the panel.

At the front after adding the sentiment and lots of gems I used the back of these to hid my

glue dots that I added to help hold the panel in place.

'Congratulations' sentiment is Hot Foil pressed and die cut.

Now its time to go check out whats going on at The Flower Challenge Blog and also look

at the amazing cards added by the Design Team.

Thank you for dropping in and I hope  to see you again soon.
