Thinking of you

Good morning everyone it's time for my fortnightly blogged Visible Image design team post. After 2 weeks of Christmas stamps and stencils inspiration the design team are getting back to sharing some non Christmas makes. This is while we await the delivery of the new stamps and start making our samples. Yes there are 6 new stamp sets coming out later this month and they are AWESOME.

I decided to work with these 2 lovely sets and make a slimline card;

Flower art

and Thinking of you which has such a delightful verse written by Helen. 

This is what I got up to.

I sprayed frayed burlap and mermaid lagoon distress oxide sprays onto watercolour card, spritzed some water and dried with my heat gun. Once dry I cut a slimline panel. I then stamped the sentiment as shown. I masked off the verse so that I could stamp it in 2 halves on my background. I then stamped the rose flower from the Flower art set with a green inked stalk/leaves and black over the flower head. As long as the stalk and leaves are green you don't need to be too precise with the colour on the flower as this is being decoupaged.

I added some extra green to the leaves using a zig watercolour pen. 

Next I stamped and embossed just the rose flower heads onto inky mop up card and cut them out. 

I glued the rose blooms in place, matted up the card and adhered it to a slimline card blank (I just cut my own).

Here it is finished

with a couple of close ups

and one final shot.
