Sending You Healing Vibes

Creative inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere.

Last week I was watching a Facebook Live devotion on the Creating For Christ Facebook Group with Ronda Wade, who is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from Michigan, USA. As soon as Ronda came on screen I immediately noticed her very pretty top she was wearing, which I loved and decided to use it as inspiration to create the card below.
This is the screen shot I captured of Ronda, wearing her top.



For this project, I have used the Healing Hugs stamp set and Pretty Label Punch from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. I have also used the FREE Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration brochure.

See the Project Tutorial below the photo.



1. Card Base - Whisper White Thick Cardstock - cut at 14.85cm x 21cm, 
scored and folded at 10.5cm.
2. Cut Powder Pink cardstock at 14.2cm x 9.9cm and adhere to white base.
3. Cut Watercolour Paper at 13.8cm x 9.5cm. Do not adhere yet.
4. Cut two strips of Botanical Butterfly DSP - 9.5cm x 2cm and 9.5cm x 1cm
5. Create watercolour background using Balmy Blue re-inker with Aqua Painter on Watercolour Paper - Mix one drop of re-inker with plenty of water to create a soft blue. 
(I mix inside the lid of the Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Ink Pad). Test colour on scrap paper first, then with an Aqua Painter, using a sweeping motion, move the colour across the watercolour paper until desired colouration and coverage is achieved.
Set this piece aside to dry.
6. Stamp 3 Roses - Using Powder Pink Classic Stampin' Ink Pad, ink up the stamp. Using a Sponge Dauber, dab a small amount of Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Ink Pad in small sections directly onto the stamp. I added it in the centre and areas I thought may be deeper in colour or shadow. Once stamp is inked up, stamp image onto regular Whisper White cardstock. Fussy cut with fine, sharp scissors leaving a small white boarder around each flower.
7. Stamp 3 sets of leaves - Using Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' Ink Pad, ink up leaves stamp and stamp off once onto scrap paper, then ink sections of stamp with Old Olive Classic Stampin' Ink Pad using a sponge dauber. Stamp image onto regular Whisper White Cardstock. Fussy cut leaves, leaving small white boarder around edges.
8. Shape flowers and leaves using a large stylus and Stampin' Pierce Mat, or work edges with your fingers to curl images up slightly at the edges. Alternatively you could also use a Bone Folder to gently curve the flowers and leaves.
9. Adhere leaves to back of flowers.
10. Stamp sentiment using Staz On Ink Pad onto regular Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Pretty Label Punch. Cut top and bottom horizontally to remove rounded sections to form straight edges. Using a sponge dauber, ink edges and centre of label with Powder Pink ink.
11. Once Watercolour paper is dry, adhere to Powder Pink Cardstock, using Tear 'n Tape.
12. Using Tear 'n Tapre, adhere the 2cm strip of DSP at 4cm from the top of Watercolour paper and the 1cm strip at 1cm from bottom of Watercolour paper.
13. Position flowers to work out placement. Adhere the top left flower directly to Watercolour paper, using Tear 'n Tape. Next slightly overlap the second flower off to the right and adhere directly to Watercolour paper using Tear 'n Tape. Next, using Stampin' Dimensionals adhere the third flower to the lower left side and slightly overlapping the second flower. 
Take note of the placement of the leaves of each flower. 
14. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere sentiment label to lower right side, over the DSP.
15. Make a bow using 1cm Powder Pink Ruffle Ribbon and adhere below the two lower flowers using two Glue Dots.
16. Add Pearl Basic Jewels as shown.
17. Finish with Wink of Stella on darker sections of the flowers and around the edges of sentiment label.
