Stamping Flowers

Two Sheena Douglas stamps four different cards

This first card was mat and layered using the same

colours as used in the water colouring.

Stamped using Versafine black onyx, I then used my

very old set of water colours that I came across in a

box and hey presto they are great!

I edged the white card with a gold ink pad to

frame and used gold chalk just to dull down

around the flowers very lightly.

A green silk ribbon was then knotted in one corner

and adhered to the mat and layers at a jaunty angle.

A Marianne die was then used on the same green

card stock for foliage which adds interest to the

card without over shadowing the main image.

A piece of cream card stock was cut using and Xcut

die and a sentiment stamped onto it again in

Versafine black onyx ink and the edges inked

in green to match the overall colour scheme.

This card was made using a poppy stamp and

water coloured in the same way as above.

Red chalk was rubbed around the poppy lightly and a red

ink pad was rubbed on the edged of the white card

to frame the image. 

A vine die was used and cut into two smaller sections 

and glued into opposing corners of the stamped 

image to add further interest. 

The image was then layered on to the same dark green 

card stock used for the vine and foliage you see.

Red pearlescent card was mat and layered

and put through a Tri-emboss folder of leaf

patterns prior to adhering to 6" x 6" white card blank.

I used a computer sentiment again rubbed in red

chalks and edged in red ink.

Paper flowers were then cut and inked in the same

red tones and a black glitter centre added to look

like a poppy.

 This looks better in real life rather than this photo.

This card was the simplest of all four made.

I mat and layered black card with silver faded card

for the base layers on to A5 white card blank.

Added my stamped poppy as before but added a

polka dot green/white ribbon again layer on to

black card to frame.

Dark green foliage and a stamped sentiment in a

half circle.

I used two different coloured raffia papers

for the ribbons here to make it look

like a tag and mounted on to beige patterned

paper and light green mat and layered

  5" x 7" white card blank.

Paper flowers with glittered centres

and different shades of green foliage

was cut using punches.

Cream card was cut with an Xcut die,

stamped sentiment and put through

the Tri-embossed leaf folder.
