Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set

Last week’s Card & Cuppa class once again used the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and Dies Bundle.

We used this bundle from the Online Exclusives range a few weeks ago, but this time the project was very different.

My colour combination for this project used Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Darling Duckling and Basic White.

Firstly, the background was given a two tone ombre effect with Blending Brushes, Fresh Freesia at the top and Bubble Bath at the bottom.

Next, a flower image was stamped across the background and a Sponge Dauber and Darling Duckling was used to colour the centre of the flowers.

On a separate piece, a circle was punched and the leaves were stamped.

The leaves were given some extra colour around the edge before they were cut out using the dies. This was to avoid leaving a white edge all around.

A flower was then stamped onto the circle and this was also coloured in using Blending Brushes. This was achieved by creating a stencil – stamping the flower and fussy cutting out the centre just along the lines.

The stencil was then lined up over the top of the stamped image on the circle and coloured. Once again, Darling Duckling and a Sponge Dauber provided the centre colour. Plus a light touch of Wink of Stella in the centre too.

Using another Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range, a layer was punched.

Lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack we placed across the centre.

The sentiment and leaf were then raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, some coordinating Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added.
