Stamper's Anonymous Summer 2021 - Bold Sayings and Floral Outlines Cards

Hello everyone!!! I hope all of you are doing well. I'm sorry it's been a bit since I've been here, but there has been lots of creating going on. It's finally time for some stamping goods. Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous have just released five new sets and stencils as well. Did you catch the LIVE yesterday?!! Talk about some beautiful makes. Today, I have the first of five posts using the new stamps...these made with the Bold Sayings and Floral Outlines sets. Enjoy and happy Summer!!! 

Using a paper trimmer, trim Ivory Heavystock from Ranger to 4 5/8 x 6 1/8 inches. Go ahead a cut a black cardstock mat to 4 7/8 x 6 3/8 inches, and fold a kraft card base to  5 x 6.5 inches, and mount the black on the kraft with two sided tape and set that aside. Note: I made two cards, so double up if making two.  Pick out the sentiments from the Bold Saying set and place on the right side of the Heavystock for each card. Add the Floral Outline Stamps around the sentiment and figure out the layout. Remove the Bold Saying for now, and add the Floral stamps to the large platform and secure the stamps. Stamp them over the heavystock using Black Soot Archival. Do the same for the other panel if you are making two cards. Do not remove the floral stamps sets as you will stamp this again later.

 

 

 Using the silicon mat as a palette, add a tiny bit of Black Soot Distress Spray Stain straight from the bottle to the mat. Pick the ink up with a Broad Water Brush and paint in a stripe between the flowers up at the top of the panel, freehand for an organic feel. Leave about 3/4 inch space and paint another line, and repeat this until you've covered the paper. Dry with a heat tool. Clean you brush well, and add a tiny bit of Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain (remember to shake this color as it has pigment in it and a mixing ball) straight from the bottle to the mat. Pick the ink up with the Broad Water Brush and paint in a stripe below the black one leaving a tiny little ivory border between the stripes. Continue this pattern until the paper is filled up between the black stripes and the floral parts. Do the same for the other card. Let the panels dry or use a heat tool. 

 

 

Using  more Distress Spray Stain and the silicon mat as your palette, pour a tiny bit of the stain out and color in the parts of the flowers and leaves with a Detail Water Brush on both of the cards. I used Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness on the leaves, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers on the flower petals, and Mustard Seed for the centers of the flowers.

 Place the Heavystock panel back into the large platform with the flowers and stamp them again over the existing images using Black Soot. This is in case you got some striped Picket Fence Spray Stain over the floral parts, and it deepens the depth of the flowers. Remove the Floral Stamps and dry the pieces or let dry.

 

 Place a panel in the platform and place a Bold Saying on it and secure it by closing the lid. Stamp it several times using Black Soot Archival until it is nice and bold, and then after the last stamping add Gold Embossing Powder over it and heat emboss. Do the same for the other panel using another saying.

 

 Using a fine gold paint pen, draw lines freehand again, parallel to the black lines in the ivory area between the white and black lines. Use the pen to draw dots in the middle of the flowers around the stamen. Using a bold gold paint pen, draw a gold border around the edges of the panel. Let dry. Ink the edges of the kraft card with Gathered Twigs and adhere the panels to the front of the cards with two sided tape.
