Welcome to week 2 of the new ED challenge. Easy and Demonstratable cards. This week we are working on cards with flowers. Any flowers. They could be stamped flowers, flowers on your DP, flowers made from punches as mine are or any other kind of flower you wish. Here is my sample for today.
It may not look that easy but it certainly was. The beautiful pansy flowers are made on Shimmery White paper using the re-inker spread technique. First I punched out two butterflies for each flower. Then with a fine mist spritzer spray water on the butterflies. One they are nice and wet go around the edges with a paint brush loaded with re-inker. I used Elegant Eggplant re-inker. Be sure to let your flowers dry before trying to put brads through the middle or you will be starting over, lol (don't ask). The leaves are the five petal flower punch.
Stamps: Brighter Tomorrow
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Orchid Opulence, Shimmery White
Ink: Versa Mark
Other: white embossing powder, Brads, embossing folder, butterfly punch, five petal flower punch, re-inkers, paint brush, water spritzer, marker
Thanks for stopping by today, I am glad you did.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Mary Jo! I learned that lesson about placing brads when wet, too!
ReplyDeletelove this - pansies are my favorite flower for spring - I'll have to try these!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I really need to stop going to the Late Night Stampers daily list - I can't afford all the things I just know I don't need! I love your idea and now I'm thinking . . . . should I or maybe not or what if the butterfly punch goes out of the new catalog. Congratulations on being a featured stamper today and for blessing my day! :)
