tim holtz: glorious bouquet

Sharing another card I created for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous booth for the 2018 Creativation show. This stamp is big and beautiful and can be stamped in many different directions on the card to create different looks. This stamp set includes a large size stamp block in the package, but I used the Stamp Platform since it's always on my table.

To make the panel, I started with a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock cut to A2 (4.25 x 5.5 in) to cover the entire front of a card. Then I pressed some Distress Oxides onto my craft sheet in Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Carved Pumpkin, building up the layers and drying in between each layer and and making sure to get those little inky dots by tapping the paper lightly into the ink. Once the panel was completely dry, I stamped it with the Glorious Bouquet stamp coming up from the bottom of the card using my Stamp Platform and embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder.

 
I then took Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide along with the same colors of Distress Oxide I used to create the panel and used a Detail Waterbrush to paint in some details, especially on the leaves.Once the panel was dry, I stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Archival. I cut the panel with the largest of the Stiched Rectangle dies.I then layered the outside (frame cut) onto the card, added a panel of blue cardstock underneath then layered the main panel on top with foam tape. This type of design is a great way to use up those "practice" panels you may have lying around :)

This has so much character, Cheiron! I've tried and tried to be a "flower gal"; bought the stamps, studied the photos....but they just have never been my thing. but this! I can really get behind this design and this technique....it is just so amazing! Thanks for sharing and for being such a great inspiration. Have a great weekend.
