Patterned Flowers

Hi,

Welcome to my blog, a bit of a lull but now that my computer is once again reliable, time to resume posting. 

The new Patterned Flowers collection designed by Jane Royston is such a joy to not only work with but explore possibilities, the Patterned Borders Stencil and Retro Flower Leaf, suggested a beach them to me, hence my card. Once again endless possibilities with these stamps - have fun!

'Surf's Up!'

Materials:-

·         Cleverprints Stamps – Patchwork Flower Set, Droplet Set, Retro Set

·         Cleverprints Stencil – Patterned Borders Stencil

·         Ink Pads – Distress Oxide Speckled Egg; Distress Inks – Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade; Versafine Clair – Nocturne

·         Card

Instructions:-

                                                        

Cut card to measure 10ins x 5 ½ ins. Score at 1 ½ ins, 3ins, 6 ½ ins. Mountain fold at 1 1/2 ins and 6 ½ ins and valley fold at 3ins. Set aside.              

 

   Cut card to measure 5 ins x 5 1/2 ins for the topper.

Blend Speckled Egg Oxide around edge of card, fading colour intensity towards centre. 

 Place Patterned Borders stencil over card as shown, masking areas above and below 'wave' pattern and lining up the card edge with the bottom wave stencil line. Blend Chipped Sapphire over the ‘wave’ image.

4.       Remove stencil and repeat, this time placing the ‘wave’ pattern above and slightly to the right. Repeat this process until desired amount of ‘crested’ waves completed.

Draw around small lid or bottle on sticky note, trimming away circle centre. Place this mask at top of stencilled topper and blend over Mustard Seed and a small amount of Spiced Marmalade to create sun. Remove mask.

6.       Spritz entire image lightly with water, allow to settle then blot. When dry, trim to 1 ½ ins and 3 ½ ins but removing a sliver down both long and short sides.

7.       Adhere each piece to both steps of the reserved card blank.

 Stamp leaves from Droplet Flower set, single leaf from Retro Flower and leafy branch from Patchwork Flower twice, colour (I used Windsor and Newton water colour pens - two greens for leaves, yellow, orange and ochre for leafy branch and a medley for the leaf/surfboards) and trim leaving a narrow border. Attach to card, ensuring the single leavesare positioned to resemble surfboards. If desired, fussy cut some 'wavelets' and adhere over first surfboard.

9.       Add sentiment. (this was hand written.)

10.   Draw in some birds close to sun using a micron pen.

11.   Add white highlights with a white Sakura pen.

Thank you for following this. It was certainly great fun working out my original idea.
