Hibiscus in a Row

Good Morning

Alice here, with the usual Monday Morning Blog.  Halfway through September already, where are the weeks and months disappearing to.  Thought I would have a little play with the A5 Hibiscus Stamp set for this blog.


Materials Used:

A5 Hibiscus Stamp Set
A6 Campervan Stamp Set
A6 Moderne Flowers
6x 6 card blank
5.75 x 5.75 Black Card
5.5 x 5.5 Stamping Card
Pink, Blue and Green Distress Ink
Black Versafine Ink
Grey Versafine Ink
Gems
Happy Birthday Die Cut
  • Use a piece of torn A4 copy paper to mask off the top and bottom third the of card.  Used Pink Green and Blue Distress Inks to ink up the middle third of the card.
  • Using Black ink, I stamped 3 mall Hibiscus flowers on top of the inked background, then masked them off, and stamped in between these with 3 grey Hibiscus flowers.  Used one of the stems from the set to add a stem to each with the appropriate colour.  Used some small leaves from the Camper Van set to stamp on leaves.  Removed the top and bottom mask.  Got an inky mark on the white part of card, so used the grey ink pad to ink the edges of the card.
  • Attached black layer to white card base.  Use versamark ink pad add ink to edges of stamped layer and added some silver sparkle embossing power.
  • Cut Happy Birthday Sentiment and embossed with silver sparkle powder.
  • To finish off, I stamped 3 little butterflies from the Moderne Flower Stamp set, coloured with the three shades of ink and attached to the card.  Added a gem to the centre of each flower

Good Morning Monday again.  The weather here has been awful, rain, hail, snow, and sunshine all in the one day! Too wet and cold to go out...
