Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Mediterranean Blooms Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month. I’ve created this “all the love” card using the Citrus Blooms Stamps and Dies, the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (which coordinates really well with the tile images in the paper from this suite), heat embossing for the sentiments, a Blending Brush for a touch of color on the dry embossed tile layer, and Garden Green embellishments and leaves.
You’ll want to emboss the front white layer first to give it texture, and then use a Blending Brush to apply just a little Pool Party ink in the lower right section. Then using VersaMark ink, stamp the outside sentiment onto a scrap of Basic Black Cardstock and the inside sentiment onto another scrap of Basic Black Cardstock. Add white Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and heat to set. Then punch out the sentiments, die-cut the leaves, and assemble the card.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Smoky Slate Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Scraps for stamping, embossing, and punching two 2″ circles
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
- 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
- Garden Green Cardstock
- Scraps for die-cutting leaves
The front sentiment circle is connected directly the the largest set of leaves and added with Dimensionals. The two other large branches of leaves are adhered directly to the embossed layer. Remember to add the Blooming Pearls along the right edge too.
Here is what the inside looks like. I just LOVE white sentiments on black backgrounds. The contrast is stunning!
