Flower Mosaic


Welcome
Meet today's card using another February release from A Colorful Life Designs called Flower Mosaic.
I combined the stenciling with some white heat embossing as a resist to create my card.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I took a piece of white cardstock, placed it into my Misti and stamped this Friendship script stamp over my cardstock with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed the entire background.
  • I placed the white embossed panel onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Flower Mosaic stencil over that.  I rubbed on some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink just into the center of my panel, then inked the rest of the panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
  • I removed the stencil and wiped over the embossing to lift the excess ink with a paper towel.
  • Next, I took the panel and die cut the heart from the center.
  • I glued the piece onto some white cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I pop dotted the heart back into place over the large main panel.
  • I took a scrap of black cardstock, stamped the sentiment and white heat embossed that as well.
  • I popped the sentiment right over the middle of the heart.

Here is the stencil I used:

This is very clever and looks great Karen with the white embossed script and then the mosaic stencilling over the top, and a lovely sentiment too. x

You've created a fascinating card, I love the beautiful shades of blue. The combination of the mosaic stencil and letters is amazing, and the black sentiment strip in the center of your pattern is great for a card like this. I had to look twice to determine whether the heart is a cut-out or an optical illusion, because it blends so well with the background. Fantastic project alltogether, I can almost see it framed on a wall/display. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

Hugs, Veronika
