Alright, enough hop talk. Let’s get on with the card-a-roo!
Made this guy with the brand new Silhouette Flowers dies. They are the bomb. Plus, the sentiment is from a new set, too. It’s the Kindness Sampler set, which is just plain packed with great phrases.
To make the little blooms (and dragonfly), I die-cut them from good ol’ white cardstock and then sponged on good ol’ water-based dye ink. You know, nothing fancy. I didn’t use Distress Ink, Oxide Ink or anything super fancy. Just plain old dye ink… that I’ve had in my stash for years. Ages, really. 😉 Then I splattered the blooms with water. I was liberal with the splattering. Patted the blooms (mostly) dry with a paper towel. Then to speed the final drying, I did blow my heat gun on them for maybe half a minute to a minute… because I wanted them on my card and I wanted them on my card… NOW. Wink.
The end result was… well… is… pretty fun, huh?
Ok, friends… that’s all I have for you today. Happy blog hoppity hopping, friends. See you again soon! (Thanks, as always, for stopping by.)
Love the flowers, but I especially love the sentiment.
Beautiful! The colors really pop against the black background 🙂
I love how the new sentiment stamp takes center stage while being highlighted by these new dies! Great design!
This is really beautiful and your technique for coloring takes it to the next level!
Like the silhouette look of the flowers & the wonderful inking on them.

You’re so funny – dry NOW and get on my card, y’hear? LOLOLOL! Go heat tool GO! Yay for using plain old dye inks cause I can’t afford the oxides until some day when they come out with the minis and then only on sale. Whew. These look amazing, girlfriend! Great job cause they look so water-colory!
