Blooming- The Flower Challenge #33

Good Morning and Welcome.

It's time for another fun theme at

The Flower Challenge

This month our theme is Focus on Background Stamping.

We happily welcome our Guest Deepti Malik- Dee's Art Utopia this month.

Please be sure and check out the wonderful art our team has created!

So onto my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, positioned it inside my Misti and then sprinkled some Brushos onto the dry paper. For those of you that are not familiar with Brushos, they are highly pigmented inks that are activated with water.  I tried my best to evenly cover my card front with them using some Emerald Green, Marine Blue and some Turquoise.

Next, I sprayed the Large Floral Bkg from Magenta with water and rubbed it with my finger to help distribute the water evenly, then pressed that onto my paper.  The water activated the Brushos from the stamp image.  BE SURE to set the wet piece carefully aside to dry.  If the water moves into the area of the crystals, you will be left with a blurred image.  

When my piece was totally dry, I wiped off the excess Brushos pigment and I was left with a beautiful flower print.

I placed it back into my Misti and stamped the sentiment then clear heat embossed it.  I mounted it onto a piece of blue cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Flower Frenzy

Good Morning.

Meet today's card. 

Keeping it very clean and simple using a new-to-me stamp set from Simon Says.

I began my card by stamping the flowers all over my white cardstock panel.  I started near the centre and stamped outwards being sure to stamp in all the spaces.  That set has a larger image and lots of smalls to fill in with.  

Now most people would just go ahead and colour in the flowers but I decided to go in another direction.  So next, I took a blue Tombow marker and coloured in the background around the flowers which really helped make a fun looking pattern.  I used a curved die to cut the panel and then glued them onto another piece of cardstock.  

I stamped the sentiment, then punched it out with a circle punch, added another flower from the set to the centre and a blue button to the centre of that.  I pop dotted that over the curve.

Have a great week and thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
