FEBRUARY RELEASE DESIGN TEAM BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY!

Our newest release has arrived and available for purchase in the store!

For this hop Erica has made this Hello Friend card featuring Thank You So Much, Hello Alice and Together we Bloom from the new release.

As some of you know *cough, cough* I’m completely crazy about flower stamps! It was a no-brainer, I had to start with the big one from the Thank You So Much set. It is a stunning flower, it really is. I tend to do a lot of pink flowers but wanted something bright and cheery for this card so I decided on yellow.

To begin with I cut out an A2 sized piece of water colour card stock using the dotted rectangle die from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frame set. I love water colouring and after heatembossing the flower as well as some leaves from the Together We Bloom set, I used the Gansai Tambi 36 pack to colour it all in.

Naturally, I couldn’t leave it just like that and had to add some sequins. Because…. well, who needs a reason for sequins? The ones I went for are some of my favourites: Crystal Clear Fushion. I’m going to confess something here. I never used to be a fan of mixes and fushions, it wreaked havoc with my inner neat freak/slight case of OCD and as silly as it sounds, I didn’t want to deal with them. I know, I know.. bonkers. Anyway, I got over my little issue and now I LOVE them! This is one I make sure I’m always stocked up on. As per usual, I adhered them with glossy accents.

After that, it was a simple case of glueing the panel to a card base and ta-da! Done! Apart from letting the water colour layers dry in between, this is quite a quick and simple card. You don’t have to add as many details as I did if you are in a hurry, loose water colouring looks lovely too and that’s so fun to do. No two cards will look the same so why not stamp up a couple, or five, panels while you are at it? Change the sentiment for an elegant birthday card.
