Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing my card featuring the so beautiful Nancy's Lilac Bouquet stamps and Honey Cuts. These were so fun to color! I used stencils to create a subtle heart background--read on for the details!
First I stamped all of the images from Nancy's Lilac Bouquet stamp set with Intense Black ink onto 80# Neenah. I colored them with various shades of pink, purple, and green Copic markers. Here's a list of the markers I used:
- Lilacs: RV66, V06, V05, RV63 (Altenew marker R705)
- Roses: RV17, RV13, RV23, RV02, RV10
- Leaves: G28, YG67, YG17, YG25, YG03
- Crate: E59, E27, E25
I cut them all out with the coordinating Nancy's Lilac Bouquet dies.
Next I made the background layer. I trimmed 80# Neenah to 4" x 5-¼". Then I used ink blending brushes to add two shades of pink ink through the Scattered Hearts stencils in the upper left and bottom right corners of the panel. I used a very light hand to keep the pink inks a light shade so it wouldn't distract from the main image.
Then I added black splatters to the piece. You can use a drop or two of a black ink pad re-inker or diluted black acrylic paint to do this.
When the paint splatters were dry, I used glue to adhere it to an A2 card base. Then I used foam dots to adhere the colored images of Nancy's Lilac Bouquet to the card. I adhered the extra leaf and lilac bunch with glue behind the main image.
The sentiments are two of seven that are included with the stamp set. After I stamped them with black ink, I cut them out with the coordinating dies.
Can you believe that this card was with created with one stamp set, one die set, and one stencil set? And with the Nancy's Lilac Bouquet set there are so many possibilities for different looks you can make using the extra florals and leaf that's included!
