Sympathy Cards

Welcome Back

This week I am featuring some sympathy cards that I have made with a white on white theme.  I struggle to put sentiments on some of my cards as I find the sentiments detract from the artwork and these cards were no exception.  I do think sometimes no words are needed though.

A Little Tattered Blossoms

Welcome Back

I am busy getting samples ready for the Wellington Paper Arts and Crafts Show next weekend in Porirua, Wellington.  I have now got a wide range of Heartfelt Creations and Spellbinders products for sale along with Memento inks, Art Glitter adhesives and a lot more.

Here is a card that I have made using a Spellbinders die – Majestic Twenty-Five Labels and the Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossoms cling stamp and die set.  I am really pleased with my flowers and they remind me of the Sweetheart Rose or Cecile Brunner with the soft pink colour and blown petals.

Tutorial on making these flowers:

Stamp a range of different size flowers using Memento Angel Pink ink.  Die cut them out.

Use a misting spray bottle lightly spray the back of the die cuts with water.

I used my stylus from the Heartfelt Creations Deluxe Shaping Kit to shape the petals over and squeeze the ends.  It is hard to show what I did with a still photo but I did not use the slot in the stylus – I bent the petals over the stylus.  For the very small flowers I just squeezed each petal.

I then pressed in the middle to create a bowl shape.

I then let the flowers dry thoroughly before putting them together.

Here is the sequence I have used for the medium flowers.  I have used Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to put these flowers together.
