Fabulous Florals WLSC

 

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, the 15th Anniversary of the challenge, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Brenda -

Fabulous Florals.
 


The lovely buttercup stamp was stamped onto white card, and then coloured with DI's. Next I stamped it again and fussy cut the flowers, then shaped them and went to add them to the card, but, decided it needed something else, so I stencilled 2 stencils, recently bought, one in yellow and one in green. I wanted a sentiment, so looked through my stamps and found one that I thought suited, and stamped it onto the card in black to match the flowers. 

Another decision, I felt it should have a base, so went looking for a paper that would suit. I use the search option a lot in my files, and this time searched for yellow paper. This was amongst them, although it's more green than yellow, it suited, it was printed and cut to size, then I attached it to the base card. The stamped layer was attached to the card, and then the extra flowers were added to the card. Next, I added gems to 3 of the flowers.

 buttercup stamp - Stamps by Me
sentiment stamp - Magazine freebie, Simply Cards & Papercraft #230
 dp - Designs by Brigit 2012
black ink - Stazon 
ink - Distress Inks, fossilized amber, squeezed lemonade
stencils - unmarked Amazon
 
 
The insert was done in Photoshop, with the same paper backing the stamped flowers. I asked Google for a simple birthday verse and this was the first it came up with. I chose a similar font to the stamped sentiment. I had some buttercups in my files and added them to the paper and sentiment. Outlining them in black to copy the stamped flowers. Should have used the stamp though. Oh! well, next time!

Such a gorgeous creation Faith. I love that stencilled background, it really lifts the beautiful stamp work. Sorry I haven't been around much to comment on your creations but I am getting so busy with my work in The Salvation Army these days. Also I am not well at the moment and I am suppose to be flying to France on Monday. 😬

Your card is delightful and beautifully crafted! The buttercup stamp is a lovely focal point, especially with the added dimension from the fussy-cut flowers and stenciled backgrounds. The choice of sentiment ties everything together perfectly, and the gems on the flowers add a touch of elegance. It's clear a lot of thought and creativity went into making this card special.
