Two-Tone Flora Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this Thinking of You card.

I regularly ask my attendees what sort of cards they would like to create, and was asked for Thinking of You, so here it is.

For this project, I chose a combination of green and blue with Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon and Balmy Blue, along with Very Vanilla.

The delicate background is created in Soft Sea Foam using one of the Foursquare Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush.

Next, leaves from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set are stamped in Lost Lagoon and punched out using the coordinating Bough Punch.

The flower from the Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set is then created using Balmy Blue, with first and second generation stamping to create the layers. It is cut out using a Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range. A gentle touch of sparkle is added to the centre of the flower with Wink of Stella.

Thinking of You is from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set.

Each piece is then layered together onto the background, with the flower raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, some Pearls are coloured using Stamping Blends and added to the project.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa design used another new Bundle from the January-April Mini Catalogue.

The Two Tone Flora Bundle is a Stamp Set and Dies Bundle with lots of different coordinating elements.

Once again, I saw a project in the catalogue that I just had to CASE.

For the background, I use the large die and a piece of thick cardstock to create a stencil.

Soft Sea Foam and a Small Blending Brush then allowed the pattern to be transferred.

The flowers are stamped in Pale Papaya and Pumpkin Pie, with some Wink of Stella added to the centres. Leaves are in Soft Succulent.

Using the dies, the flowers and leaves are cut out.

A sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set is stamped in Evening Evergreen for a darker shade.

All of the pieces are then layered together using a mix of glue and Dimensionals.

Some Blue Pastel Pearls are then coloured using a Stampin’ Blend in Soft Succulent, to coordinate with the rest of the project, before being added as a finishing touch.
