Fine Art Floral Funday Monday #25

 I think I might have found my new favorite stamp bundle "Art Gallery" this is a two step stamping technique which I showed in an earlier post. I've been on a roll today with this stamp bundle. So let me show you what I've come up with. Over the next couple days I will post a new card using this stamp set, so come back often to see more. 







This first card is made is using the very rich Merry Merlot, which is one of the colors in the Fine Art Floral DSP. I added that fabulous Gilded Leafing to make this flower shine, with the added Gold Foil cardstock it really make this flower POP. The first layer, also in the Merry Merlot has been embossed with the Painted Textures 3D embossing folder to add that extra dimension to this card.







Recipe Supplies:
  • Art Gallery Bundle
  • Stitched So Sweetly Dies
  • Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder
  • Gilded Leafing 
  • Stazon Jet Black
  • Versamark 
  • Merry Merlot Stampin' Pad
  • Old Olive Stampin' Pad
  • Heat & Stick Embossing Powder
  • Cardbase: Merry Merlot 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", and 5 1/2" x 4 1/8” (embossed layer)
  • Gold Foil Sheet: 3" x 3" cut in half twice to make 4@ 1/2" x 1/2" squares, and 4 1/4" x 3"(for layer under focal layer), scrap for die cutting sentiment, 1/4" x 5" (to add to the inside)
  • Focal Layer: Basic White die cut the largest scallop rectangle from Stitched So Sweetly
  • Fine Art Floral DSP: 2" x 5" and 5 1/4" x 1/2" (to add to the inside)
  • Inside: Basic White 4" x 5 1/4" 







Assembly Video



Assembly:
  1. Start with attaching the 1/2" Gold Foil squares 1/8" from edges to the card front on the cardbase.
  2. Take the 5 1/2" x 4" Merry Merlot and emboss with the Painted Textures 3D folder, attach this piece to the cardbase, over the gold pieces leaving an 1/8" of the gold showing.
  3. Attach with dimensionals the Fine Art Floral DSP 2" x 5" to the left front aligning your margins.
  4. Lets do our stamping, grab the focal Basic White rectangle, with the fuller flower head use Merry Merlot and stamp towards the top, add the stem with Old Olive. With the less full flower head use the Versamark and stamp on flower
  5. Sprinkle the Heat & Stick Embossing powder, grab your heat tool and heat (this will only take seconds, be very careful, if over heated it will not be sticky)
  6. Start placing the Gilded Leafing on the sticky embossed areas, once covered take a brush and wipe off excess. Look at that Awesomeness!!
  7. Attach the stamped rectangle to the Gold Foil 4 1/4" x 3", put dimensionals only on the side touching the Merry Merlot and glue the other side to the DSP (this will keep the focal piece level)
  8. Take the Gold Foil scrap and stamp sentiment in Stazon ink and die cut. attach with mini dimensionals. 
  9. Glue the DSP and Gold Foil to the right side of the Basic White inside piece (shown above)

Sale-A-Brations


Still confused on what all this Sale-a-Brations talk is all about?? Well here's a Stampin' Up! Video to help understand how it works.



 

Two Step Stamping








Take a look at this Beauty, aren't these colors just stunning? So lets talk a little about Two-Step Stamping, It simply means using two or more stamps to create one image. 

There is some questions as to whether Stampin Up actually invented the term, and thankfully, it's doesn't matter. 

It's Brilliant!

When it comes to the outcome, it usually means more texture, more color, more depth – all by using the same stamps and inks that we use for everyday paper crafting.  No crazy art skills needed. So let me tell you how its done.


The flower head is created using –

  • Just Jade ink for the first stamp. And, then
  • Pretty Peacock ink for the second stamp.
  • Pear Pizzazz for the stem 





Recipe Supplies:

  • Art Gallery Bundle- JJ Mini Catalog
  • Cardbase- Basic White Thick 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored @ 4 1/4"
  • DSP Layer- Forever Greenery 2" x 5 1/2" and 2 @ 1/2" x 5 1/2" (these are for the inside and envelop)
  • Scraps of Basic White for stamping and die cutting




 Assembly Directions:
  1. Lets start with our stamping (so it will be dry when we go to use it) grab a Basic White scrap big enough for the flower head,  use the first flower head (the fuller stamp image) and stamp in Just Jade. 
  2. Now use the second flower head (this is the lesser image) and stamp the Pretty Peacock. (Optional to use the flower stamen in Tuxedo Black Memento ink) WOW that was the hard part!!😉
  3. On another scrap of Basic White stamp the stem in Pear Pizzazz
  4. Attach the Forever Greenery DSP to the outside left of the cardbase.
  5. And go ahead and attach the 2 strips of DSP one to the inside right and one on the bottom of the front envelop (I like to leave a little white showing on the outter edge)
  6. The ink should be dry now, so go ahead and die cut the flower head and the stem.
  7. Attach the stem down directly to the card, add your Dimensionals to the flower head and place onto the stem.
  8. On to the finishing touches, use your Pretty Peacock Stampin Blend to lightly color over a 3 of the Elegant Faceted Gems, attach staggering on the card. Grab that shimmery Wink of Stella and brush over the flower head. Congratulations you just completed this Beautiful card!
