Flower Garden and creative way to make a shape without a framelit!

Morning all!
Not fed up of the heat yet? I certainly am not lol!

So here is another card I made at Jen's on Saturday...


It was my first time playing with this gorgeous new set, Flower Garden. (yesterday's card was the second play lol) I love flowers, and any way to use a stamp and punch combo is always going to be a winner with me! 


Isn't it gorgeous? I am particularly loving this colour combo too! The stripe under the panel was done by rolling my Blender Pen onto the Crushed Curry ink pad then swiping it across my card.

Oh, speaking of the panel...have you seen the shape of it? Want to know how to create it without a die?? Simple really...I cut my panel out, then I placed the rounded edge of one of my ink pads along the edge of it, drew round it then snipped it using my super sharp Paper Snips! I finished it by using my distressing tool.

Supplies
Stamps - Flower Garden, Fabulous Phrases
Ink - Basic Gray, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry
Tools - Blender Pen, Paper Snips, Stamp-a-majig, Distressing Tool

A Secret Garden

Hello!
I have another card here from Sunday's craft session with Jen...


I have used the stunning Secret Garden stamps and Framelits bundle...I love this and I think it's going to get a lot of mileage!

To colour the flower, I tried a new technique...I was having a bit of an experiment with colouring to see what effects I could come up with! For this one, I used the plastic sheet from my Stamp-a-Majig and coloured some Cherry Cobbler marker onto it. I then dipped one of the Blender Pens into the ink and brushed it onto the flower. I continued this way, adding more colour to the darker areas for shading and depth. I think it's very effective and quite realistic looking.


 I stamped the leaves in Always Artichoke and stamped again for a lighter set. I used my Paper Piercing set again to decorate the edge of my white panel before matting onto a Pool Party panel. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiment set, stamped in Always Artichoke.

Products used
Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Pool Party
Ink - Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler
Stamps - Secret Garden, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Framelits - Secret Garden
Other - Paper Piercing Essentials Pack, Blender Pens
