Good Monday morning and time for this week's challenge over at Muse. I am your hostess for this week. I had so much fun creating this card using new to me My Favorite Things Large Desert Blooms. I can't tell you how much I love this stamp set. I conditioned all of the flowers before stamping so that I would get a good impression with the new solid stamps by rubbing an eraser over them and cleaning off with my Absorber cloth. They stamped perfectly using these tips and my MISTI. I rarely stamp a card without my MISTI anymore, so much less ending up in the recycle bin.
After I stamped and die cut my flowers I used my MISTI to assist me on where I wanted to stamp the greenery on my background. By arranging my flowers on the card base before I adhered them it helped my determine exactly where I needed to stamp the images. Next I spritzed my card base with the greenery stamped on it with Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine. Once dry I stamped my sentiment and adhered the flowers adding foam tape to a couple of the blooms for dimension.

Another photo so that you can see the gold shine on the card base.
This is also for the Simon Says tamps Monday Challenge, April Showers Bring May Flowers challenge. I chose to stamp flowers only.

ReplyDeleteAlready made my Muse card because I loved this bouquet so much but didn't know about the gold. It really adds that little 'extra something'.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for the eyes. Was going to ask which inks you used since your coverage is exceptional. Then I read the Misti helped you ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and I love the added shimmer ! I see the comment about the MISTI its like getting new inks and stamps all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis is so colorful and so tropical looking! I love the way you've arranged the flowers into a beautiful bouquet! And I'm loving the little gold spritz in the background!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bouquet arrangement, Tracey ... so vivid and vibrant ... love the gold spritz ... really makes it so spectacular! Hugs, Anita :)
