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.
I have used a combination of Spellbinders dies embellished with Heartfelt Classic Roses to make these cards.
Materials used:
Cardstock – Timbrels White Cardstock, Bazzill Smooth White Cardstock
Ink – Memento Tuxedo Black, New Sprout
Stamps – Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose, CTMH Just Sayin’
Dies – Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose, Spellbinders Sue Wilson Pine Leaf,
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.
For the centres I have used Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive and Go Man Go Prills to finish them off. You could use any small bead or flower soft for the centre.
I hope you find the tutorial easy to follow and please feel free to ask any questions.
If you are in the Wellington region next weekend please pop over to the Te Rauparaha Arena to the Wellington Paper Arts and Craft show and come and say hello.
