Pastel Poppystamps Nordic Daydream


Today I'm using a collection I've used a few times before, I adore the images. If you want to see more cards I made with this collection, I have a few more on my blog. The diesets are from the Poppystamps Nordic Daydream Colleciton. You can click HERE to see it.

For the background panel, I used a piece of paper I had inked in Distress Oxide on my gel plate. I love the look, it's 3 of my favorite Distress Oxide colors, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw and Salvaged Patina. I drag each of these colors onto the gel plate then use a brayer to lightly blend the colors before pressing my cardstock into it.

I took the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Dearly Departed stamp set and randomly stamped the paper with 2nd generation inking.


I'm entering this card in the Poppystamps Challenge, Things with Wings: click HERE to see the challenge.

Gerbera Daisies!

 


When I saw this flower, I knew I had to buy it. I'm glad I did because Altenew sold out of it, luckily it is available, for now, see my supplies link below. To see all the Altenew new products, click HERE.

The flowers are cut from colored cardstock, I don't really keep track of the cardstock I buy, but I'm pretty sure this is 65 lb Michael's cardstock. I like this weight for shaping petals. I always google photos of whatever flower I'm making, luckily Gerbera daisies come in a ton of colors.

To shape the petals, I use the Tim Holtz Shaping Kit. It comes with 2 stylus, a pad and reverse tweezers. I used the tweezers to bend the petals in half  It gives them a bit of height and dimension. You don't have to do this step, these flowers look gorgeous just diecut flat.

The background is watercolor paper. I used Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigments in shades of blue and dipped and splattered my paper. After it was dry I used an embossing ink pad and edge the paper, poured gold embossing powder on it and heated it. Kinda dramatic.

That's it for today, nice and simple.
