Advice from Flowers

 Hi Crafty Friends! Amy here and I'm so thrilled to share today's card with you featuring the Flamingo Botanical stamp set from the September 2020 Release at The Rabbit Hole Designs.








I am absolutely crazy about florals and this release is no exception. The pairing of the animals with the blooming flowers is just so unique and beautiful.  

On this card I wanted to use just the flower all over in the design and show a slightly different way to use this stunning stamp set.  







For this card I started with a panel of A2 sized bristol smooth paper. I heat embossed the bloom from the stamp set all over the panel with gold embossing powder. 

 For the coloring I used my watercolor brush pens and filled in all the lovely flowers. The embossed edges of the flowers came in really handy when I was working with the brush pens because it creates little wells and makes it easier to color in. On the background I wrote directly on my glass work surface with the blue watercolor brush pen and used my water brushes to further dilute the pigment. I wanted the background to be really subtle and soft and not take away from the blooms. 


Finally, I chose the sentiment "Bloom Where You Are Planted" from the set because I felt that it fit the design so well and it really is such great advice! I heat embossed that in gold as well and die cut that into a sentiment strip. 

All that was left was to assemble the pieces with some foam tape for dimension. I attached the die cut panel to an A2 sized card base, and that finishes my card today. 

 I hope that you enjoyed this card and found some inspiration. Be sure to check out all the items from the new release as well as all the other fabulous products that The Rabbit Hole Designs carries. You can follow this link HERE to see their whole product line.
