So it is Tuesday already and that means it's time to get sketchy with Try Stampin' On Tuesday. The design team has come up with fab samples for this week's sketch so be sure to check them out :)
I love having a circular focal point on cards, it's fun and a little different than the normal rectangle or square.
Here's my card:
I have been pining over this stamp set since it was first released in the Summer Mini Catalogue. I just love this beautiful little image of flowers in a mason jar. I am also trying my best to improve upon my watercolouring skills. I first punched out some Watercolour Paper with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch then stamped the image using Staz On. For the actual watercolouring of the image I used a combination of Markers, Inks and my Aqua Painter. I then add some mini Pearls from the Pearl Jewels to the center of the flowers. The card base is Crumb Cake and I used the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Crumb Cake Ink to create a tone on tone pattern all over the card. The piece of Designer Series Paper is from the Sweet and Sour Specialty Paper pack. I created the parial circle cut out using the 3" Circle Die and my Big Shot, and basically sponged everything with Soft Suede Ink.
To create the larger paper flower I used the Flower Fusions Sizzlet die and cut out the medium and smaller flower with Very Vanilla Textured Card stock. I then sponged them with Peach Parfait and Blushing Bride Ink, sprayed a little shimmer mist (made by combining alcohol with Champagne Shimmer Paint), and crumpled them up. Using my Heat Tool I dried and then shaped them. Again I used a little Pearl Jewel in the center. For the small flowers I used one of the punches from the Bitty Punch Pack and Blushing Bride Card stock.
