Bloom Card

  Happy Wednesday!

Today's post, I'm sharing this Bloom Card.  To create my card, I've used stencils, dies and stamps from the Art Journal Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my card at home.  


To start, die cut a 4" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.


Choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Worn Wood Paper Pack. Die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Rounded Rectangle out of the paper. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Place the Bloom stencil on the left hand side of the rectangle. Using a palette knife, put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil as desired. Remove the stencil. Once the texture paste has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Flower Power die, die cut the flower and one of the flower branches out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the two flowers as desired.


From the Morning Letters stamp set, you'll need the letters to spell out bloom. Apply Black Archival Ink to the letters and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Fussy cut the bloom word out. Ink the edges of the word using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle. Foam square the 3 1/2" rectangle to the 3 3/4" rectangle.


Adhere the two flowers as desired to the left hand side of the card. Adhere the bloom word to the bottom stems of the flowers as desired.


To finish the card, cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.




Here is the finished Bloom Card.
