First Bloom for Mom

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Trinity Stamps sharing a card using one of the newer floral sets called First Bloom. Since Mother’s Day is coming up, I thought it was the perfect time to share this card. 

 To create this card, I stamped out four of the main flower bunch. This is actually a really easy flower to quickly color up. I used the same copic markers throughout (B99, B97, B95, B93, B91) to keep a monotone vibe. 

Once I finished coloring up the florals, I arrange them all on an A2 card base. It does mean trimming off some of the florals but I was ok with it. I wanted to create an artsy look with a center focus. For that center area, I thought I would focus my sentiment on “Mom” so I pulled out my Marshmallow Alphabet dies. To really make the letters pop, I wanted to use a strip of vellum across the middle. 

The vellum just really helps with the focus on the letters since the florals are a showstopper. 

I just love how florals make an easy card for a mom or a loved one. They just bring such elegance! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

TRS Challenge – Sentiments

Welcome to the weekend crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the Three Room Studio stamp set named, Mom’s Hibiscus for this week’s challenge (including a sentiment). This one is definitely an easy one. I actually had used a photo for inspiration that contained a lot of red/green but not Christmas!

I stamped images from the Mom’s Hibiscus stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black out ink and masked a few of them to create a corner piece filled with this floral. Then I colored them up using copic markers mainly using reds as inspired from the photo.

For the background, I stamped Mom’s Hibiscus scattered around on a piece of light green cardstock using Versamark ink, added Crystal Clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. I blended a couple of different green distress inks around the card panel.

I added the sentiments with Versafine ink from the Yay stamp set and added some embellishments. To finish off the card, I trimmed down the card panel and matted it on black cardstock. I thought it really tied in the entire card.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
