Floral Elegance with You Inspire Me

Hello there! It's Andrea back to share some gorgeous flowers featuring the You Inspire Me stamp. I know not everyone likes coloring, and Crafty Meraki has a coordinating, layered stencil set that makes adding color a breeze!

I stamped those lovely flowers with Versafine Smokey Gray ink for a soft look. Next, I applied a few shades of distress inks with the layered stencils. The colors I used are Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral, Barn Door, Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles. There are coordinating dies for the set, but, as I don't have them, I fussy-cut my images.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock smaller than an A2 cardbase and blended the center of it with Saltwater Taffy. I stamped a sentiment from You Inspire Me with Versamark ink, sprinkled it with WOW! Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder and heat-set it. To add some shimmer to the centers of my flowers, I scribbled with the WOW! Embossing Pen and applied the same gold embossing powder, setting it with my heat tool.

I adhered my ink-blended panel to a pink cardbase. I foiled a piece of the Party Prism Effortless Shimmer Paper with Gold Deco Foil, trimmed a strip, and adhered it to the bottom of the card. Next, I arranged my images on top, popping up some with foam squares. For some extra sparkle, I finished with a few gold, glitter dots from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!
