Garden In Bloom Masked Bouquet Card
I love the beautiful watercolor look of the Garden In Bloom images. I layered these two-step flowers and leaves using a simple masking technique for a pretty bouquet focal point.
Background Basics—I started by adhering a 3/4" x 5-1/2" strip of striped paper from the Typeset Designer Series Paper to use as a striking border accent on the Very Vanilla card base.
Masked Flowers—I stamped the Garden In Bloom flowers onto a 3-3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Very Vanilla using a simple masking technique. Here's how it's done:
- Stamp one outline flower image in Memento Black ink onto the card stock.
- Stamp the flower filler image over the top using Perfect Plum ink.
- Stamp the flower outline image onto a sticky note, then cut it out and temporary cover your original stamped image with it.
- With the sticky note flower masking the image, stamp the small flower and leaves outline images around the flowers overlapping in some areas. You can see my green sticky note mask above with the small flower stamped over it. You can re-use the mask over and over!
- Stamp the coordinating flower filler image in Crushed Curry and leaves filler image in Cucumber Crush inks.
- Lift the mask and your bouquet should look fabulous!
I added a second large flower stamped with Marina Mist onto scrap Very Vanilla, which I hand-cut and popped up with Dimensionals.
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor Wishes Kit in Smoky Slate.
Wink of Stella Wonderfulness—Do you see the sparkle on the greeting? I brushed some of the new Wink of Stella shimmer over the top of the word to help it stand out. SOOOO pretty! Oh.My.Goodness! The Wink of Stella brush is my favorite product in the new catalog…I'm painting shimmer on everything! Wheeee!
Finishing Touches—I tied some Silver Baker's Twine around the stamped layer before popping the whole thing up with Dimensionals. I also added three floating Rhinestone Jewels.
Two Cool—For my second version, I stamped a horizontal card and changed up the colors just slightly to make them darker and richer. The larger flowers are stamped in Elegant Eggplant and Pacific Point, the small flowers are in Delightful Dijon and the leaves are still in Cucumber Crush. The stamped layer is not popped up this time, so I could easily wrap the twine all the way around the card front.
I can't wait to stamp this card at my "Last Thursdays" class tonight! It's such a pretty card for all kinds of occasions!
