In today’s card project, I played with the Wild Columbine bundle from Hero Arts an some distress inks to make a beautiful floral birthday card with a hint of vintage inspiration. Come and visit me on YouTube for the full video tutorial:
To start this project, I stamped out the floral image from the Hero Arts Wild Columbine stamp set and heat embossed using some gold embossing ink. I then used the coordinating stencils to color in the flower using Distress Inks in wilted violet, villainous potion, salvaged patina and peacock feathers. I cut out the image using the coordinating die.
For the background, I stamped out the Hero Arts positive script bold prints stamps and heat embossing using gold embossing powder. I then trimmed down the panel to 4×5.25 inches using the Tim Holtz deckle trimmer. Next, I created a gradient background from purple to white by blending wilted violet and villainous potion inks and fading the inks into white across the card.
I heat embossed the happy birthday for you sentiment from the wild columbine stamp set and heat embossed that with gold embossing powder. I used foam tape and extra die cuts to stack up my elements for some fun dimension.
I also made this card some friends using some different color combinations.
