Photo Tutorial: Inspired Sunflower Card

Posted on July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 by Josee

Today I’m excited to show you a card that I CASED (copy and share everything) from Jo Blackman, a talented Stampin Up! demonstrator from the UK.
You can see her card on her blog here.

My card is not exactly like hers…she really is amazing at water colouring, but, I still like how mine turned out. 😉 As I made mine, I followed her written directions and created my own photo tutorial! If you haven’t tried water colouring yet, get some Water Painters and Watercolor Paper and give it a try!

Dimensions

  • Misty Moonlight: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Bumblebee: 4″ x 5 1/4″  and  3/4″ x 2 5/8″
  • Watercolor Paper: 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Whisper White: 1″ x 2 1/4″
  • Ribbon: 2 3/4″

Directions

1.

Ink up the sunflower using Versamark, then Soft Suede before stamping on Watercolor Paper.

 

2.

Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and tap off the excess.

3.

Emboss using the Heat Tool until you see the image becoming glossy.

4.

Add Cinnamon Cider ink to a stamping block to use as your palette.

5.

Add a bit of water in the middle of the block and mix a bit at a time with some of the ink with the Water Painter before colouring. Colour the entire middle then use less water with the ink to colour the darker colour.  (I used the medium-sized Painter.)

6.

Colour the entire flower using Bumblebee ink and use a bit of Pumpkin Pie to add highlights.

7.

Use the large Water Painter and add water to the white space on the Watercolor Paper.

8.

Start colouring using Misty Moonlight ink. I found that it looks a bit of a hot mess when it’s wet, but, as it dries the colour starts to blend together and it looks really nice! You can add more colour near the flowers so that the flowers “pop” off the paper.

9.

Use the Banner Triple Punch to create the ends of your cardstocks.

10.

I find the best type of adhesive for a watercolour project is either the Stampin’ Seal+ or the Tear & Tape Adhesive.

11.

Add adhesive to the back of the cardstock to adhere the ribbon.

12.

Adhere all pieces together and add the greeting, Bumblebee piece and ribbon to the card using Dimensionals. Add gems and you are done!
