I made two cards because I was experimenting with some colors. The processes on the two cards are the same, except for the colors.

I started stamping the Venetian Fleur-de-Lis Bold Prints on top of a black piece cardstock, using Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

On a piece of white cardstock, I used the mini MISTI stamping tool in order to double stamping the image. I stamped the flower from the Color Layering Calla Lily stamp set with blueish inks. First, I stamped the first layer with Soft Pool ink, then I stamped the second layer with Summer Sky ink, and I stamped the fine lines of the last layer with Navy Mid-tone Shadow Ink. Later, I followed the same process for stamping the leaves. As the leaves had two layers, I stamped the first one with Moss Bold ink and the second one with Forever Green Mid-Tone Shadow ink. I die cut all the pieces with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Color Layering Calle Lily stamp set with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment on a strip.

I assembled this card in a very simple way. I first glued a piece of Arctic cardstock on top of a white notecard and over this, I attached the embossed background. I glued the flowers and the leaves together and adhered over the background. I also added the sentiment strip above the flowers and the leaves with some foam tape.

To finish the card, I added some Nuvo Drops English Mustard at the center of each flower. Also, I added different types of sequins to the background – black confetti and blue bubbles sequins. I added some green bubbles sequins on top of the leaves, too. These bubbles sequins came with a past kit, so they are not available anymore but you can find some similar options HERE, HERE and HERE. Finally, I added some gold shimmer to the flowers and leaves.

I also made another card with the same products but different colors. I heat embossed the background with Gold embossing powder. Also, I stamped the flower with Soft Yellow Shadow ink, Butter Bar Mid-Tone Shadow ink, and Orange Soda Shadow ink. For embellishing this card, I just added some gold and black confetti here and there. These confetti embellishments came with the My Monthly Hero February 2019 and it is still available.

I hope you like these cards! Join us to this June Challenge 2019! Thank you!

See you the next time!
