Happy Tuesday, Pinkfresh friends! Yasmin here sharing with you a quick and simple yet, very dimensional “Encouraging’’ inspiration card made using the latest; Floral Focus Cling Stamp and Floral Focus Layering Stencil Set along with this wonderful floral set I’ve, also used Friendship Blooms Stamp Set, Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Rectangles Die Set and an array of PFS- Inks. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it.

To begin with, I started by placing an A2 size white card panel inside my stamping tool and once I’ve had that done, I’ve gone ahead to line up over it the Floral Focus Cling Stamp. Therefore, as soon as I had them both line up, I went ahead to start the stamping over the card panel using Misty Coast Ink and Warm Buff Ink to balance the neutral stamping out for a no-line stamping look.

With that said, as soon as I’ve finished the stamping over the card panel, I went ahead to remove it from the stamping tool so, I could start the layered stenciling over it using its coordinating stencil set which happens to be Floral Focus Layering Stencil Set.

Therefore, for the stenciling I decided to create white flowers so to do that, I skipped the Stencil #1 from the set and then, I used Stencil #2 along with Lemon Whip Ink, Stencil #3 along with Grassy Knoll Ink, Stencil #4 along with Misty Coast Ink plus Warm Buff Ink to add shadow for the detailed layer for the large flowers plus, a touch of Marigold Ink and Clementine Ink for the small flowers. Lastly, to finish the stenciling I used Olive Ink for the detailed layer on the leaves with a touch of Warm Buff Ink to warm up the green.

Moving on, after I’ve finished the layered stenciling over the card panel, I went ahead to place it back into the stamping tool to repeat the stamping for a better impression, and once I’ve had that done, I’ve gone ahead to repeat the same steps to create a second card panel in the same way as I did for the first. Thus, after having both card panel finished, I’ve gone ahead to line up the largest die from Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Rectangles Die Set over one of the inked card panel and then, I’ve gone ahead to run them through my die-cutting machine to add the stitching detail to it.

So, right after I’ve had added the stitching detail to the card panel, I’ve gone ahead add white splatters using white acrylic paint and as soon as the card panel was completely dry, I’ve gone ahead to mount it over an A2 size Kraft base using double-sided tape and fun foam to add dimension. Then, to add even more dimension, I went ahead to fussy cut out the flowers from the second card panel using a small pair of scissors, and once I’ve had finished that step, I’ve gone ahead to mount the flowers over the flowers from the card panel with square foam adhesives creating that way a 3D effect.

Lastly, to finish the card off, I went ahead to stamp and get gold heat emboss over a white piece of card panel one of the sentiments from Friendship Blooms Stamp Set and then, I’ve gotten trimmed down and mounted over the lower right side of the card.

Finally, after finishing the card off, I went ahead to glue down here and there with liquid glue some clear jewels from Essentials: Crystal Mix to add a pop of shine!
