Florals

When I made the Altenew card in my previous post, I also made another panel with their beautiful Flower Bed 3D embossing folder.  Again I inked a white panel with Blush and Velvet, but changed the green to the softer Sweet Leaf.  After embossing, I inked the raised edges with a white pigment pad--same as the last card.  But then, instead of adding a gold spray, I used Heidi Swapp white Color Shine.

It's so beautiful and you can see it in my IG post.  The Sweet Bouquet sentiment was stamped in Blush, embossed in Hero Arts Sparkle powder and attached to a vellum strip.  I wanted the panel to be the star, so I just added Botanical Wreath Builder blooms and leaves die cut from vellum.  Finished off with 3 pearls.  I'm entering Altenew April Inspiration Challenge and DCD.

One of my favorite PFS products is Sweet Friend Floral.  It has a one piece stamp, one piece die and stencils to color the images.  Here's what I made for the April PFS Challenge.

I first embossed the images in SSS Rose Gold powder.  Then I used the stencils with Altenew Inks Blush, Rouge, Velvet, Pink Sand, Toasted Mauve and Redwood.  PFS Nested Rectangles Postage Edge dies were cut from white scraps.  I wasn't happy with the plain white background for the florals, so dry embossed with a very old Cuttlebug folder.  Amazing the difference that made.  The larger rectangle's edges were embossed with the Rose Gold Powder and everything was arranged and glued in place.  Hello from PFS Perfect Sentiments was stamped in the Velvet ink and attached.  Finished off with beautiful PFS gems for a touch of sparkle.  There's a short video in my IG post.  I'm also entering Time Out with floral/stencil and TTTC268 with stencil/free/embellishments.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
