May Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Check out Day 2 of the blog hop HERE

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card for the May blog hop. When I think of fuchsias, I think of the classic pink and purple flowers so I chose this colour scheme for my card today.

I began by stamping out lots of images from the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers, then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Next, I blended on some distress oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves on the right hand side of a white card base. I flicked it with water for distress details. I then used a Scallop Border die to trim down another panel of white card, which will sit on top of the card base and allow the pop of colour to show at the edge.

I planned out my layout of flowers and leaves to help me figure out the best placement for my sentiment. I then chose a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set, stamping it in black versafine ink and heat embossing with sparkle embossing powder.

I added the panel to the card base with some foam sheet behind, which adds some nice dimension. I then adhered the flowers and leaves on top, using a mix of liquid adhesive and foam squares.

I finished the card with a scattering of Pansy Purple jewels, which fit the colour scheme perfectly.

Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this new release?
