Waffleflower May Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

5 May

Good morning!  I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the fabulous May release from Waffle Flower Stamps!  Today I’m sharing a card using the beautiful Wild Roses stamp set!

Hello by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffle Flower Stamps

To start I stamped the flowers and foliage from Wild Roses onto watercolor paper with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  Then I watercolored them with Mission Gold watercolors.  After laying down a few layers of paint I went back in with a dark purple paint to add some contrast and shadow.  I’m always a little nervous adding such dark tones to my projects but I love the results afterwards!!  I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and added a few accents with a white gel pen.

Next I painted an ombre watercolor background using a hot pink paint to match the bright flowers.  I splattered it with water and let it dry before adhering it to a top-folding card base.  I stamped the sentiment from Sentiment Labels onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before die-cutting it with the coordinating die.  Then I adhered the flowers and sentiment to the ombre panel with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape.  Finally I finished the card with a few white and clear enamel dots and a little crystal glaze on the flower centers!

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my card and it gives you some inspiration for these gorgeous new florals!

To celebrate the release, Waffle Flower is giving away $25 gift certificates to THREE lucky winners. You can leave comments on my blog and along the hop by 11:59pm ET on May 8th, 2019 for a chance to win. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the posts on this blog hop and will be announced on the Waffle Flower blog on May 9th, 2019.  You should have arrived from Amy and and my amazingly talented friend, Emily, is your next stop!
