Dry Embossed Floral Stencil Card

Dry Embossed Floral Stencil Card

You Rock My World!

I recently watched a video from Mindy Eggan where she took a stencil, dry embossed it on card stock then added some colour to really make it wow. I was inspired to make my own version of Mindy’s card with this Simon Says Stamp floral trio stencil. You can watch Mindy’s video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krw6QGVAFyc

It’s difficult to photograph the texture that the embossing gives, but it’s such a nice soft touch to a card. I feel like it really intensifies the colour because there is that extra bit of height to the flowers. While I had the stencil still in place I covered it with my favourite shimmer spray to give the card the most amount of sparkle.

Watch it come together:

Floral Thanks Card

Thanks!

I felt like doing some colouring of a floral image. I was reviewing my Instagram feed when I was deciding on what to create, and realized I had not made anything floral in quite sometime. With Valentine’s Day and the holiday season in the rear view mirror, it was nice to not have a specific season or holiday to make a card for. Instead, I was able to create something on my own terms.

I pulled out a retired stamp set from The Stamp Market and used my ZIG clean colour real brush markers, which have been a staple in my craft room for a number of years. I like them because they’re easy to lay down colour and they are super vibrant. I am not an expert so I simply choose a colour (or two) that I love, pop down some pigment and use a water brush to spread the colour around.

Have a look at this card being made:

Thank You For Being A Friend

Thank You For Being A Friend

Thank you for being my friend!! And thanks for reading my blog.

I made a similar card to this one and posted it to Instagram and I had a lot of people asking how I made the colourful floral falling background, so I decided to make another version using a slightly different colour scheme and a completely different sentiment. I am in love with these stencils from Pink Fresh Studios. They make creating colourful backgrounds easy peasy. I can’t wait to make a ton more…as they are easily mass produceable as well. Pink Fresh Studios FOR THE WIN!

Watch here how the card was created.
