Hey guys it’s Tracy here. I hope you are all having a great week ?

One of my all time favourite Studio Katia sets is Together We Bloom, it was the first Studio Katia Set I ever owned and I truly lovely working with it.

I am a colorist, that is my main passion but i do understand not everyone is and that people often overlook sets like this if they aren’t colourists.

So for todays post I wanted to show that you don’t need to be a colourist to work with a set like this.

I am going to be working with alcohol inks but this technique also works with dye inks, you just need to leave them longer to dry.

To create this look I used alcohol inks onto Vellum, nothing fancy i just used a blending tool and covered the sheets with it. I did want quite a soft color tone so what i then did was stamp onto the BACK of the coloured vellum, if you want a stronger colour stamp onto the front, but make sure it is fully dry with no sticky areas.

I used white detail embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp to heat embossed these, remember when working with heat embossing and vellum to be care, vellum is brittle so I tend to heat the paper in short bursts making sure not to keep my heat tool on the vellum too long.

Once this was all done I used the coordinating dies to cut the pieces out.

I used a sentiment from the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set and heat embossed it onto a strip of black card stock. I then lined up two of the dies from the Dotted Ovals die set onto some gold card to create a frame and die cut the piece out.

Once I had all my elements I went about constructing the card, I adhered the oval frame using foam tape for dimension and then adhered all the other pieces around the inside, again using foam tape on a couple for dimension. Once I was happy I adhered this to the A2 top folding card base and added a sprinkle of Mint Dreams Crystal mix.
