Dot Fade Florals


Hi there,

I managed to fit in a bit more playtime with some more of my birthday stash, so I'd like to share what I made with a beautiful  new set of mini silhouette flowers by Woodware, and a Tim Holtz stencil.  I had my eye on this Woodware floral set for a while, and was further encouraged by seeing some lovely makes by the very talented Kathy on her blog, so I popped it in my birthday basket!!

First, a card ...


I cut a 4" square of stamping card, and created a background with Tim Holtz "Dot Fade" stencil and Distress oxide inks.I then stamped my flowers and bee, which I coloured with blck fineliner, yellow sparkle Posca pen and Sakura stardust pen for the wings. I stamped round the edges of my base card with grungy wording and hearts - all Woodware - and my sentiment; then matted my image panel centrally - job done!!  

Stamps: Woodware "Mini Flower Silhouettes", "Additions", "Blooming"; sentiment - unknown;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Barn Door); Versafine Clair (Nocturne); black fineliner; Posca sparkle pen (yellow); Sakura Stardust pen;
Tools: Tim Holtz stencil - "Dot Fade".

Once I had got on a roll I decided to create a couple of co-ordinating ATC's, which I entitled "Dot Fade Florals". These largely followed the same method as the card above, except that the background stamping was done with Morning Mist VFC, and I used a different sentiment form the same unknown set.
