Hi Suzz here! I am sharing with you some different ways you can use the new Stampers Anonymous - Tim Holtz Floral Outlines! These flowers are versatile and offer me the opportunity to use a variety of mediums to color the flowers.
I used the flowers in this card to create a beautifully textured background.
I started by stamping the flowers multiple times on the background with versamark watermark ink. I embossed with white embossing powder. I could have used clear but the white will ensure if there is any bleeding of the ink that it won't show through. I used the flowers in this card to create a beautifully textured background.
The background was spritzed with a mix of orange and yellow dye inks. I left the inks pooling on the paper and heat set it after they had absorbed for a bit. I used watercolor paper for the background.
Next I used the lettering guide and attached it to a piece of kraft cardstock. I die cut the butterfly from the layered stencil. I then took the leftover pieces and attached it to the inky background.
I created two different versions of the background and used one to die cut a separate butterfly. I thought it would be fun to put the butterfly on a stick that I could put in one of my planters and float around.
I simply stamped the beautiful flowers on opposite corners of the background and then pulled out the watercolors and added a slight color to the flowers. I added a sentiment from the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Observations set. A quick and fun card.
Next up was watercolor using watercolor pencils and a little of embossing to make the colors shine.
This was a simple process of coloring and using waterbrush to soften the colors. At the end I layered some random stamping of script and text.
I was thinking about the dapper gentleman in the Observations set and wondered how he would look with a layer of flowers.
I thought it ended up being a fun take on the gentleman with him having flowers strategically placed on his eyes.
There is still time to play along in our 'Triple the Heat' challenge!
Suzz
