Week 4 – Strawberry Slush

These handmade cards feature @stampinupofficial products; Coneflower Celebrations Bundle. I am thrilled that Strawberry Slush has returned to the SU colours. It’s a gorgeous bright pink that goes with every other colour in the range.

Card 1 – features the dies in the bundle. The petals have been ink blended with blending brushes and Strawberry Slush ink. Other cardstock used; Thick Basic White, Early Espresso and Summer Splash. The cardbase is dry embossed with the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. A Strawberry Slush Blends Marker was used to splatter ink onto the background.

Card 2 – features the stamps in the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set. The cardbase has some white diecut circular strips adhered to add some interest. Remember to add Adhesive Sheets to the back of your white cardstock to make it easier than using messy glue. The stem and leaves are stamped and dicut in Summer Splash. The Faux Linen Ribbon is cut in half lengthwise and added behind the sentiment. How cute is the Tiny Bee Trinket?!!

Close up of the flower – I used a stamping platform to ink up the stamp, starting with the top in Darling Duckling, then used the Timid Tiger Stampin’ Write Marker to add some flicking strokes round the base before stamping onto the Basic White card. Then ink the petals in Strawberry Slush ink and stamp. I used Blends Combo Markers; Darling Duckling, Bubble Bath and Strawberry slush to fill the image. A black Journalling Pen and White Jello Pen adding the feature dots.
