Wonderful Bloom and Grow

This is another of the cards we made in my Monthly Card Class.  If you’re in the Melbourne area I hope you’ll join my next class (scroll down for details)!  We have so much fun making these projects.

I CASE’d  the layout for this card from Michele Jutrisa, but changed up the background stamp and colouring choices.  I used the Crackle Paint stamp for our background, and placed it on my Stamparatus for easy, full coverage stamping.

The flowers and sentiment are from Bloom and Grow, and are wonderfully easy to stamp since they’re photopolymer.  The flowers were stamped twice and coloured with Stampin’ Blends, then cut out with the coordinating Budding Blooms dies.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and then sprinkled with White Stampin’ Emboss powder and heated to melt.

Here’s a second version I made…very similar but the flowers are a bit offset, instead of symmetrical in their placement.

Here’s what we used to make these cards:
