Winter Flowers

This time around the Creative Expressions DT are using the Winter Flowers A5 Stamp Plate. Creative Expressions have now also started a weekly 'Fun Time Friday' competition on their Facebook page and there are fabulous prizes in return for funny stories etc.  Today they are giving away some brand new Henna Stamps, why not join in the fun!

I have created a card using Peeled Paint Distress Ink as my main focus for colour. My inspiration for this are some Christmas Roses in my garden that flower every year during the Winter Months that have white, tinged green petals, they are gorgeous.

I stamped the Christmas Rose with VersaMark Ink and then sprinkled the image with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Powder and then melted with a heat tool. I love the bright white set against the Peeled Paint backdrop.

Once I had embossed I then blended Peeled Paint Distress Ink over the embossed images which act as a resist against the ink and really pop against the background. Once I was happy with the blend of colour I then flicked the ink with water to add blotches to the backdrop.

Warm Winter Wishes has been stamped onto Foundations White Card with Black Archival Ink and then coloured with Distress Ink and flicked with water. I also added Black Soot Distress Ink to the edges of the sentiment for definition.

I added three squares across the centre of my card, each stamped with the Christmas Rose image using Black Archival Ink and coloured with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. I then used a detailed water brush and removed some of the ink from the petals. To complete I added twine and a button for further interest.

Thanks so much for popping by.  Tracy x x
