STAMPIN' UP! MIXED FLORALS SYMPATHY CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

 

Our first Colour Creations blog hop of the year is all about Misty Moonlight.  I love this dark denim blue, that I have paired with Boho Blue for my first card of 2025.

My card features the new Mixed Florals stamp set, an Online Exclusive product that was just released yesterday.  Read on, to find out how I created the background.

I started off by stamping the large floral images four times across a piece of Basic White card, using Misty Moonlight ink.

I coloured the entire background using the Light Boho Blue Stampin' Blends Marker.  Next, I coloured most of the flowers with Stampin' Blends Markers, in Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight, also using my Color Lifter.  I left the foliage, smaller flowers, and a couple of the smaller coneflowers, uncoloured.

After inking a text stamp (from the new Elements of Text stamp set) with Balmy Blue ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping it over my coloured panel.  I repeated this process numerous times, stamping off onto scrap paper each time so the impression wasn't too dark on my card.  It was intentional to stamp some of the text across the uncoloured areas, to add to the irregular/grungy coloured look.

Next, I inked up a splatter stamp (also from Elements of Text) with Versamark ink, and stamped it a few times on my art piece.  I sprinkled silver embossing powder over the splatters, and melted it with my heat tool.  The last step was to sponge the edges of this panel with Misty Moonlight ink, before adhering it to a piece of Misty Moonlight card.

The sentiment, from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set, was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.  The border was stamped in Balmy Blue ink, and the whole piece punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.  NB: This beautiful stamp set is on the Last Chance List, for only $14.00, so you might like to grab yourself a bargain!

Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems, and a bow made from White Woven Ribbon, finish off my card.
