Artful Bloom

Hi and welcome, today I have a card showcasing a couple of my stamps from AALLandCreate, my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp and my Natures Garden Stamp Set. A list of stockists can be found HERE.

I began by adding Distress Oxide Inks to my background, beginning with Squeezed Lemonade, swiping the inkpad across my non-stick craft sheet, spritzing with water and then mopping up the beads of ink with my card. I repeated the same process with Picked Raspberry. I repeated this process a couple of times until I was happy with my background and then dried with a heat tool.

I then inked my A4 Layered Grunge stamp with Black Archival Ink and then stamped ART onto the inked background. I added some white highlights with a white gel pen.

I added one of my flowers to the background and also added more layered stamping using my A4 stamp set. I also incorporated a wooden heart for added dimension.

Some delicate white splatters of paint lift the whole design.

I added a touch of stitching, adding a cross stitch to the stem of my flower. This adds further texture to the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Below are the stamp sets used in my card.
