Card ad with "You Are My Favorite" header. Features dog, fern design, and promo for emboss folder with $30+ purchase. Bright, cheerful mood.

Hi Lovelies!


Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Moments In Time Blog Hop! These flowers on this fancy card are supposed to be Orange Blossoms, but my creative juices has other ideas and suddenly everything was blue.


We're making a elegant card that can be used to celebrate a wedding, new home or any major milestone that you want to make something extra special for! One of my favorite techniques is coloring on vellum. Last release I did it with ink blending and today's card we are using one of my favorite water-based markers!

Floral card with blue flowers and gold accents. Text reads: “May your troubles be less, your blessings be more..." on a gradient background.

CARD WALKTHROUGH

STAMPING, HEAT EMBOSSING, COLORING AND DIE-CUTTING

  1. Trim Simon Vellum cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Use the Anti Static tool to dust powder over the vellum.

  2. Stamp all of the flowers and leaves from the Orange Blossom Blessings Stamp Set using Simon Clear Ink onto the Vellum, cover with Wow Gold Glitter Embossing Powder and heat set.

  3. Use the selected Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the flowers. Start with the darker hues of each color and then blend out with the lighter colors.

  4. Die-cut using the matching Orange Blossom Blessings Die Set.



Blue and green floral designs with gold outlines on a grid background. Various sizes and arrangements of flowers and leaves are present.



DIE-CUTTING & COLORING DIE-CUTS

  1. Emboss 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" white cardstock with the Simon Groovy Floral Embossing Folder.

  2. Use the Flannel Simon Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad to ink the edges of the embossed panel.

  3. Adhere to a 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" card base.

  4. Die-cut a ___ oval and gently ink blend Marine and Limelicious Simon Pawsitively Saturated Ink onto the oval in a "gentle" ombre.

  5. Stamp the sentiment in Simon Says Stamp Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink and adhere to the embossed panel.

  6. Adhere Simon Thin Foam Dots to the back of the vellum die-cuts.

  7. Before removing backing, align the die-cuts on the embossed over the oval, cover with Glad Press N' Seal film to secure the layout.

  8. Lift the film off the oval panel, remove the backing and adhere to the ink-blended sentiment panel.

  9. Adhere gold pearls to the panel to finish.






Blue and gold floral design on embossed white paper. Gold beads accent the piece. Text reads "through your door" in elegant script.
The Groovy embossed panel with that subtle inking on the edges provides definition from the card base layer.



Inspirational card with floral gold accents and blue highlights reads: "May your troubles be less, your blessings be more..."
This sentiment has all the best feels and can be suitable for many occasions but I was thinking wedding when I made this card.



Blue and green floral pattern with gold outlines on a card. Pink flowers and a wooden butterfly decoration in the background.
I don't think I'll get tired of coloring on vellum, the translucency makes the flowers even more beautiful.


I'm a bit of a slowpoke when it comes to coloring, but I think the time spent was worth the end result. I hope you like it too.
