Hello Beautiful

Hi my friends, I'm sharing a trio of cards I made using the Chevron Pattern Large Stencil, Bouquet For Mom stamp set, Spring Flowers Background Cling and Mother's Day Flowers die from Simon Says Stamp All The Feels release and Beautiful word die, Carta Bella Flower Garden papers, Simon Says Stamp Vellum and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sentiments Label Stickers from the Spring Windows March Card Kit.

I began by spritzing Worn Lipstick and Twisted Citron Distress Spray Stains through the Chevron Pattern Large Stencil on a 4" x 5.1/4" panel of Distress Watercolor card. I inked the Spring Flowers Background with Peeled Paint Distress Archival ink and stamped randomly on the background. I die-cut the Beautiful shadow from vellum and the word 3 times from Distress Watercolor card and layered to create dimension. I die-cut the flowers from Distress Watercolor card 3 times using Mother's Day Flowers, fixed to the panel using Distress Collage Medium, added Stormy Skies Glossies in the flower centres, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sentiments Label Stickers and fixed to an A2 white card blank.

I spritzed the ink on the back of the Chevron Patterned Large Stencil with water, laid on to a 4" x 5.1/4" panel of Distress Watercolor card and dabbed with kitchen towel to transfer the spray stains to create a monoprint effect. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Bouquet For Mom and a section of the bouquet image inked with Black Soot Distress Archival. I die-cut the Beautiful shadow from Distress Watercolor card, inked around the edge with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and added the Beautiful word die-cut 3 times from Distress Watercolor card. I coloured the top layer with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and fixed the layers together to create dimension. I added Glossies Cotton Candy Mini Hearts, a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sentiments Label Sticker and fixed the panel to an A2 white card blank.

I spritzed the back of the stencil again with water and pressed on to a 4" x 5.1/4" panel of Distress Watercolor card. I applied Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink randomly over the background using the Chevron Pattern Large Stencil with a mini round blending tool, inked the Spring Flowers Background with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and holding the stamp in my hands, stamped randomly over the background. I die-cut the Beautiful word shadow from Distress Watercolor card, fussy cut the  seeds images from the Carta Bella Flower Garden paper, inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. I fussy cut the flowers from the Carta Bella paper, fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium and Sizzix Foam Adhesive to create dimension. I die-cut the Beautiful Word 3 times from Distress Watercolour card, coloured the top layer with Peacock Distress Oxide ink to create an ombre effect and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. I added Glossy Accents to the flower centres, a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sentiments Label Sticker and fixed the panel to an A2 white card blank.

Have fun with whatever you are creating
