Country cottage vellum petunias

 Hello, fellow crafters

Today I am sharing the technique for making a pretty card with vellum petunias. This is my most favourite flower stamp-and-die set for vellum flowers, because of the beautiful details on the petals.

 

 

You will need:

• Heartfelt Creations small classic petunia stamp and die set
• Heartfelt Creations classic oval frame die set
• Heartfelt Creations paper pad - I used a sheet from climbing cleamtis, because it matched the colours of my flowers
• Versamark embossing ink pad
• Ranger superfine white embossing powder
  

Instructions: 

Stamp 2 of the smaller flowers and 2 of the spray from the large classic petunia set on vellum, using Versamark ink pad. Stamp 6 of the largest and 2 of the smallest flowers from the small classic petunia set on vellum, using Versamark ink pad.

Sprinkle the stamped images with white Ranger super fine embossing powder. Shake off excess, and heat-set the images with a heat tool.

Put the heat-embossed flowers face down. Use Heartfelt Creations daubers and Ranger archival ink in cactus flower and deep purple to colour all flowers at the back. Add a small circle of olive in the centres of the flowers. Colour leaves and the leafy areas of the spray with Ranger archival ink olive.
Cut all the flowers, leaves and sprays out with the coordinating dies.
For the largest and medium flowers, glue together two layers. leave the smallest flowers as a single layer. Add crystal flower centres to all flowers.

Cut a shaped card base from white cardstock, by placing the largest die from the fancy classic oval frame slightly over the fold of a pre-folded card, so that the card base is not fully cut on the fold.
Cut a front for the card from a purple sheet in the climbing clematis paper pack, using the same large die as used for the card base. Adhere this purple piece to the card base.
Cut the second and third dies from the fancy classic oval frame from white cardstock, and adhere them to the purple paper.

use the oval die from the fancy classic oval frame to cut a scene with a picture of a house from the climbing clematis paper pack. Adhere this to the centre of the oval die cut.
Arrange and adhere the flowers and sprays on the card. TIP: Use only the ends of the sprays, for balance of size.

 

Thank you for visiting.

Happy crafting, until next time
