Play date cafe - take 2

Hey there!! Hope you are having a great Monday, I was busy experimenting with my flower cling stamp and I am super excited to share with you a really cool card! I think my mojo is finally back:-) yay!

This card fits perfectly with this weeks Play date cafe challenge, so I thought I should submit two entries this time:-) Don't you just love this colour mix?

There is still time if you want to play, this is the link:

I used Hero arts Large flower cling stamp and stamped it thrice onto white card stock in black ink. Used Tattered rose and Mustard Distress ink and coloured it in using my sponge.I cut apart the petals and fluffed it up a bit. Layered the flower and added Prima pearls to the center. Used a strip of My Mind Eye green Lush paper to break up the white on the card, and stamped my sentiment! Pretty straight forward:-)




All stamps used are by Hero arts.
Hope you liked this card, and try layering your flower stamps, it gives it a whole new look..
I love hearing your comments, so feel free to leave some:-)

Hugs,Michelle.

Its time for another Play date cafe challenge, and its a super fab mix of colours:-) If you have never played along then now's the time!

I am super excited to share this card with you 'cos this is the very first time I am using this stamp, it's absolutely gorgeous! Love everything about it really, the fact its so large is even better:-)

This card was meant to be a uni-sex birthday card since the colours were rather gender neutral, but before we get going let me warn you it's not as simple as it looks, takes quite a bit of masking and colouring to get this one done, but what's the point if it's not a challenge huh?

Ok now for the details,

I first masked about a .5cm around the card with my masking tape, yes, I found a new use for it, better than using removable adhesive and masking! then I stamped the flower heavy to the left side of the card, inked it several times and stamped on the the plain white area around the flower to fill gaps.

Then I stamped another flower on a scrap of Card stock and cut out a circle with my circle cutter. Then I used the scrap to mask around the circle where it would be on the card and lightly drew around it so that I knew where the coloured parts would be.

Coloured the flowers with my Copics, I used leaf green for the centre of the flower and lime green for the lines that run through the petals. The circled area I left blank. Then I coloured the other circle piece of the flower which would later be mounted on the colourful flower with grey inks. I used several shades to give it depth. Masked the outer circle again and smudged it with Black Soot distress ink ( I wanted to create a halo effect), then cut out the grey portion of the flower and adhered it with dimensional adhesive.

To get the outer blue border, I masked it again this time creating an unmasked border around the card and filled it in with my blue Copic marker. Lastly I gave a little outline around the card with a black fine nib felt tip pen, Viola!
