Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous FRENCH BOUQUET Card

Writer's picture: Keisha DiannKeisha Diann


Hello Lovelies! What a busy summer it's been! So glad that I had a moment to make for the Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous Everyday 2 Release! I felt like we got a little bit of everything with flowers, collaged pieces, an alphabet and all occasion sentiments.


I'm playing favorites today though with this card featuring the French Garden Stamp set wiht the Tidbits set in the background to complement it and the simple, striking sentiment from the new Floristry set.



Let's take a closer look at both of these stamp sets. You can purchase them individually or get the whole bundle from Simon Says Stamp. Also, if you would like to add even more dimension to this card, you can consider the matching die set!

JUST BECAUSE CARD CARDS - Ink Blending, Embossing, Crackle Paste Stenciling

Card Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"






 

PROJECT PALETTE

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Uncharted Mariner, Weathered Wood, Milled Lavender, Saltwater Taffy, Worn Lipstick




Lately, I've been using Sarah Renee Clark's Color Cube to help me select color palettes and used one for almost every card I made for this release. Check out my inspiration below.


 

PROJECT WALKTHROUGH

STAMPING

  • Use a piece of painter's tape to attach a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock to a large acrylic block

  • Leaving the Tidbits Stamp set in place on it's plastic mount, use the selected Distress Ink Cubes to create horizontal stripes of each color across the entire stamp

  • Once the inking is complete, mist with 2-3 spritzes of water

  • Use the acrylic block to press the attached white cardstock into the inked stamp, applying even pressure and holding in place for about 30 - 40 seconds to get a good impression




 


INK-BLENDING

  • Once dry, using a Mini Blending Tool or Blending Brush, apply the corresponding Distress Inks over the stamped image in the same order as the stamping




 

ARCHIVAL INK STAMPING & EMBOSSING

  • Use the selected script handwriting and labels from the French Garden Stamp Set inked with Black Soot Archival Ink to stamp the card front

  • Dust the card front with an Anti-static tool

  • Ink and stamp the flower also using Black Soot Archival Ink

  • Leaving the stamp in place, ink and stamp the flower using Distress Embossing Ink or Clear Ink

  • Sprinkle clear embosing powder over the flower and heat set with a heat tool



 

STENCILING

  • Apply Opaque Distress Crackle Paste using a palette knife through the Damask Crest Stencil on the top left and bottom right of the card front

  • Set aside to dry



 

FINISHING

  • Use a Tiny Blending Tool to deepen the color within the flower petals

  • Use a wet paintbrush to outline the flower shape creating a bleached halo effect around the flower



 

I think I'm falling in love with Uncharted Mariner all over again!


 

The detailed hatching on that flower is gorge!!



A little bit of Crackle Paste goes a long way!


 

All done and all pretty!
