Make it Monday: Glass Bloom Birthday

This week I am adding a new theme to my Monday Blog post, "Make it Monday". Each Monday I will post a card with the directions so that you can make it at Home!  I will also have the pre-stamped kit available in my Etsy shop!

This week's project is a elegant birthday card.
 

I used the rose and pansies from the Glass Blooms set to create a beautiful corner focal point.  The great thing about this card is that you can change up the colors to make it unique for whom ever you are giving it to.

I started by stamping the rose  in the bottom right corner.  

 

 

To get the pansies behind the rose, I used a technique called masking.  You stamp your foreground image onto a scrap of paper(I use a post it note so there is some sticky to hold it in place).

 

Then you cut around your sticky note image.  You place the sticky not image on top of the image in your card and stamp everything you want in the back ground on top of the sticky note.

 

After you are finished stamping, you remove your mask to reveal your layered image!

 

I just love this technique because it gives your cards depth with out having to add layers!

Happy Birthday Dahlias

Happy Monday Everyone!  I took a break from Christmas Cards to create this Happy Birthday Card using Fun Stampers Journey set, Dahlia Burst SS-0203.

I have never realize how much I love coloring until today.  I had not had a chance to pull out my Fun Stampers Journey Blending Solution and Re- inkers for a few weeks, and after I started coloring today, I just felt so relaxed.

 

I used the Whimsy Wall paper stamp, SS-0116 to add a touch of dimension behind the Dahlias.  The Sentiment is from the Sentimental Prints set, SS-0072,

If you would like to recreate this card yourself, you can purchase all of the supplies at www.funstampersjourney.com/cindybristow.

The actual card is available for purchase at https://www.etsy.com/shop/CindyCreativeJourney

Thanks for stopping by, and have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you Daisy

Hi everyone!  Today I felt like coloring so I pulled out my FSJ set"Hello Lovely" set SS-0192.  I didn't want to make your usual bright flower so I used Kerry's color Challenge for my palette.

I stamped the daisy with Denim Days Ink pad and took out my Fusion Blender, Pumpkin Bread re-inker, Pomagranate Splash ink pad, and my Green Olive ink pad.  I know some of you think I have  all of the Fun Stampers Journey catalog, but there are somethings still on my wish list- all of the re-inkers are just a few !!!!

I put a drop of Pumpkin Bread re-inker on one side of my block and then used my Pomagranate ink pad to ink the other corner of my block.  After that I added a few drops of Fusion Blender to help move my colors.  When you color with ink from the ink pad, you need to add several layers of color to get a deep color.

See how I added layers to get depth?  After I finished coloring my flower, I cut it out and started working on my background.  I used up the leftover ink and more Fusion Blender to create a watercolor effect on my background.

The sentiment is from the "Sentimental Prints" set- SS-0072.  I used the "Ink Splash" embossing folder- EF-0008 too add more depth.  Card base is Whip Cream and I layered with Denim Days.
