Did you know that you can make floral cards without colouring? Today I have 3 cards showing VERY different ways to add colour to floral designs….
This post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from the ALTENEW Card Blog, and there are lots of new beautiful flowers to play with! Not everyone likes to colour flowers, or maybe you need a card quickly, I had fun creating these 3 cards without ‘colouring’!
My first technique to add colour was Ink Splatters. I embossed my floral design with the Daisies 3D Embossing Folder,
then I added lots of different fun colours of the Ink Sprays. Many of these have a sparkle that can be seen when tilted in the light.
The sentiment I used here today is the wonderful Bold Thanks Die.
My next technique was to die cut Coloured Cardstock… but I made my own colours using Altenew’s Artist Markers and simply scribbled these on scrap cardstock and die cut them out with the Branches and Berries Die Set.
I also added a couple of extra ink blended leaves using the negative space from the die cut along with some Tea Party enamel dots for extra berries.
The sentiment is from the Crystal Frames set and I framed it using one of the Nesting Slim Rectangles Dies.
My final technique is Ink Blending and I used the beautiful new Flower Bunch Simple Layering Stencil Set. I have a video sharing how this card came together and you can find it linked below.
I added lots of texture to the panel by running it through with the Mod Squares 3D Embossing Folder.
And my sentiment is from the Simple Greetings Die Set popped up on an Apothecary Label.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
