Tall Foliage Stamp/Slim Deco Cover Die/Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder
There are two sizes of dies in the Slim Deco Cover Die set, this card uses the small die which I cut 3 times then placed from top to bottom across an A2 card front embossed with the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder. The edges of the die cuts were trimmed along the edge of the card front.
I stamped the images from the Tall Foliage Stamp set in Clear Embossing ink, covered with Platinum Embossing powder and then heat set. The sentiment is heat embossed and layered over metallic thread.
Modern Greetings Stamp Set
This is a large stamp set that can easily take center stage on your card.
This image is stamped multiple times with Vanilla Cream, Aqualicious, Sweet Leaf, Sunkissed and Heartbeat ink.
I've got a short video walking you through the details of creating this card:
For this card I stamped the image multiple times in Heartbeat, Sunkissed, Warm Sunshine, Sweet Leaf, Persian Blue, a combination of Lavender Fields and Desert Night, and Deep Iris. Each image is fussy and then cut apart and pieced back together in rainbow order.
I adhered the pieced image with foam adhesive to a watercolor washed card front which I added a little bit of iridescent paste to with the Calligraphy Maze stencil.
The sentiment is stamped in Obisdian Pigment ink and heat embossed with Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.
Did you know a group of hummingbirds is called a charm? I've stamped a charm of hummingbirds for this card.
The lighter colored images were created by inking the stamp and then misting with water before stamping on the paper.
The images are all die cut with the matching die and the black card stock is misted with Iridescent Spray Ink before creating the background of hummingbirds.
I colored a small piece of alcohol marker friendly paper with the following Artist Markers:
-WG03 Evening Gray
and then die cut Thanks with the Bold Thanks Die.
Painted Hummingbirds/Slim Deco Cover Die/Tall Foliage Stamp & Die Set
I die cut the large die in the Slim Deco Cover Die set from kraft card stock three times then stamped the images from the Tall Foliage Stamp set on mixed media card stock with watercolour ink.
Brush the stamp directly with the watercolor brush marker, spritz with a little water and stamp.
Jet Black, Emerald, Moss, Rouge, Warm Sunshine and Rubellite watercolor brush markers were used for the Tall Foliage.
Hummingbirds are stamped in Coral Bliss, Sweet Leaf, Just Green, Sunkissed and Evening Gray. Once dry, die cut all with matching dies.
Black splatters are added with the Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker prior to adhering die cuts.
After adhering all die cuts, I double matted the photo, popped it up with foam tape and created a visual triangle around it with hummingbirds.
Painted Hummingbirds/Slim Deco Cover Die/Tall Foliage Stamp Set & Coloring Stencil
I die cut the large die from the Slim Deco Cover die set in Gold Mirror card stock and framed the watercolored Tall Foliage Stamp Set floral image.
The image has been watercolored by adding a small amount of Warm Sunshine ink through the Tall Foliage Simple Coloring Stencil and blending it out with water.
The leaves are colored in the same manner with Moss watercolor ink.
Tall Foliage Stamp Set and Simple Coloring Stencil
A super easy way to use this stamp is to create background by stamping the leafy image multiple times in Jet Black dye ink, then coloring the leaves with the Tall Foliage Simple Coloring Stencil in Moss Ink.
I created my own shade of green card stock to die cut Hello by inking a piece of white card stock with Parrot and Olive dye ink.
The shadow hello layer is cut from black card stock.
