Welcome 2018!

Hello friends, this is my first project for 2018 and its with happy heartfelt Wednesday.We are still celebrating Carnations that was debuted this month and here I have 2 versions of it.

Instructions

The final card measures 5.5” x 5.5”. Start by scoring and cutting a white card stock that measures 5.5”x11”, score at 5.5” and create the card base. Cut a 5.3”x5.3” pattern paper from the Paper collection and adhere to the card base. For the front card base take a water color paper which measures 5”x5”.Take any stencil of your choice and create a stencil background using some texture paste. Heat set and sprinkle some water to wet the surface. Later on an acrylic block splash some salty ocean, peacock feather and Broken China distress ink. Use these colors to splash the stenciled background. Once you receive the desired look heat set the surface.Stamp and die cut some large and small Carnation by stamping using Cobalt Archival Ink. Color the flowers using broken china and shape the petals using 3D basic flower shaping molds. Shade the leaves using the crushed olive distress ink. Stamp and die cut some filler leaves using the broken china and cobalt ink and keep it white. 

I have another fridge Magnet using the camellia Carnation which is made using the same collection.

2. Softly tint the bottom section of the tag with Crushed Olive Distress Ink. Also ink the edges of the tag.
3. Mist lightly with water and add more color with watercolor sprays.
4. Heat set between steps.
5. DIe cut pieces for Garden Notes Dahlias 2 from White Soft Finish Cardstock.
6. Shade and color with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and Sunflower Archival Ink.
7. Die cut Dahlia leaves from green cardstock and fern from white. Add color to the fern and to the edges of the leaves with Crushed Olive Distress Ink.
8. Stamp sentiment toward the top right of the tag.
