Bloomin Cart – Tutorial

dsc04019.jpg

I’m still feeling under the weather here.  Thought a bright cheerful card might make me feel a little better.  This Blooming With Love set from Stampin’ Up had not seen ink yet so I decided to use it for today’s tutorial.

Supplies:

Stamped Flowers with Palette Noir Black ink on Whisper White card stock.

Colored some of the flowers with a Prismacolor Sunburst Yellow Marker and some with a Prismacolor Yellow Orange marker.

Colored over the flowers with a Versamark Marker and heat embossed them using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the stamp from Watercolor Minis set randomly over the flowers by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then with Cool Caribbean ink.  Heat embossed them using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Repeated last step, but used Brilliant Blue ink and Versamark, heat embossed using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Same steps again, but used Versamark and black ink and only stamped a couple of times in the middle of the flowers.  Heat embossed with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

    Too cute ! That was my first reaction to another great card of yours. As always, your color blending is gorgeous. You make a simple little stamp set come alive and make us all aware of the possibilities of a set we might pass by. I also appreciate your putting the finished card size at the end.
    108″ in Phoenix today ! Got any great inspiration for the hot desert look?!?! Hope you feel better.

    So beautifil Michelle. I love the frilly, soft look that the little watercolor flowers added to the design. Another idea that would not have occurred to me. 😦
    Every day you amaze me.
