Card – April Fiskarette Focus – Easter / Stamping…..stamping onto coloured paper

Here is another card I have made for our April Fiskars Focus – Easter and Stamping!

I used very subtle patterned paper to stamp the flowers onto, and then cut out.  I love this technique because not only are you creating images which already have colour, but the cutting out itself I find very therapeutic!

Fiskars Products Used:

• Stamp Set – Spring
• Stamp Set – Swirls
• Precision Scissors
• Paper Trimmer

Additional Products Used:

• Card Blank
• Patterned Paper
• Ink Pads
• Pearls
• 3D pads
• Stamp sentiment

Instructions:

• Trim pattered paper to fit the size of your card blank.  You can attach to the card blank now or at a later stage.
• Stamp a flower from the Spring Set several times onto patterned paper – I used Memento London Fog as I find it more subtle than a solid black.  I used seven flowers.
• Using fine detail scissors cut out the flowers.
• Stamp the leave detail, using Distress Ink fora more vintage look, or a different ink for a solid image.  I used the vine leaf from the Swirls Set and stamped it twice along the card.
• Lay the flowers across your card blank, interlocking them with each other.  Turn over and add 3d pads to the reverse.  Stick over the leaf design.
• With the scissors blade, curl up some of the petals.  Add pearls to the centre of each flower.
• Add Spring sentiment.
• Ink edges of the card using Distress Ink.
