I was super lucky this month to get a sneak look and play with the February release from Waffle Flower Crafts. Release day is today for the new release and I’ll be showing you projects I created throughout the week!
My first card today features the Potted Lily and awesome Plaid Texture die embossing plate. I love this plate – it is sturdy like a die cover plate, but dry embosses a textured pattern into a piece of cardstock. Even better, it will die cut out an A2 size panel at the same time to ensure the texture is perfectly lined up. I used Moonrock cardstock which is a light colored kraft type cardstock for a more vintage feel and embossed it with the plate by running it through my Gemini JR.
I wanted to use Potted Lily stamp set to do some no-line watercoloring. It’s such a fun image, and the large pot leaves lots of possibility for embellishment. I stamped it in a pale grey waterproof ink onto hot press watercolor cardstock. I then used Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to watercolor the image.
I used a variety of indigo and purples with some pink glazing on the petals themselves, and some teal blue-greens on the leaves. This color combo is one of my favorites for flowers. I added yellow-orange in the centre, and deepened up the nooks and crannies with super dark indigo for contrast.
For the vase, I used indigos and purples again, and then added some more orange-brown for the earth in the pot. I also added a little bit of embellishment with a white gel pen and a few purple splatters over my textured panel.
When dry I die cut the Lily out with the co-ordinating die. This is such a detailed die, it cuts intricately around the petals perfectly. I popped it up onto my card panel with foam squares. I also used my MISTI to stamp the Thank You sentiment from the set in black ink. By using my MISTI, I was able to stamp it a few times to ensure I got a crisp impression despite the textured background. I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins to finish and backed it all onto a 110lb white notecard.
Be sure to check out the new release from Waffle Flower Crafts over in their store today! I’ve linked to the supplies I’ve used below, and be sure to pop by the blog again tomorrow, I’ll be showing you another card I made with the new release!
