A Grunge floral card for Visible Image

Hi everyone.  It's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image. The theme this week is "Grunge" so I decided to use another of the new florals release for my Grungy card

I used Colourful life

 together with a very useful background set called Blocked up.

This is the card I made

and this is how I made it;

I used squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina and worn lipstick distress inks and roughly blended them onto a 5 1/2" square of white card. I then sprayed with water, allowed the inks to drip down and dried it with a heat tool (or leave to air dry).

Using these 3 Versafine Clair inks I used the medium and long solid block stamps in the Blocked up set and repeat stamped them over the background. I marked the word "colour" off and stamped the top part of the sentiment in black ink. I did the reverse and stamped it with red and clear heat embossed the whole sentiment.  I then stamped the bloom of the flower in black and its stem in green Versafine inks.

I stamped the flower bloom again onto a scrap of white card and cut it out. I added some glitter pen detailing to the centre and stuck it over the stamped image on the card. I also repeat stamped the circle stamp around the edges 

I then matted onto red and black card and finally onto to white square card blank. 

Here is my finished card once more.
