Week 47 – Shy Shamrock

This handmade card features the Simply Beautiful Bundle (stamps and coordinating dies). I started with stamping the images onto Fluid 100 Watercolor paper and Vellum with Versamark ink. Gold WOW emboss powder was added, shake off the excess and gently melt it with my Heat Tool.

I pressed my inkpads onto an acrylic block and used that as my palette with Water Painters. The leaves are Shy Shamrock and Pretty Peacock, and the flower is Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Set aside to dry. The reverse side of a Lovely Doilies is ink blended with Shy Shamrock using Blending Brushes and added to one side of the card. I used scissors to remove the overhanging doily.

Once the images were dry (use a Heat Tool if needed), die cut them with the cooredinating dies. Sit them onto the card to work out thr placement. The vellum flower I cut in half to use above and below with some extra leaves. Once I was happy with the layout, I stamped extra leaves with Shy Shamrock ink directly onto the card base (and down the side of the envelope). The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Basic White card. Adhere the vellum images the add the watercolor images on top with Dimensionals. The stamen is a Gold Foil die cut and added with Glue.

Some Low Profile Dots are added to finish the card. Extra images are added on the inside to continue the theme.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next week for Smoky Slate inspiration.
