Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler
Wednesday Challenge. Charlotte is our hostess this week with an "All about Occasions" challenge.
I had fun trying out an older technique that I saw over at Splitcoaststampers... called Faux Pressed Flowers.
I started by die cut the flowers with a Couture Creations "Geranium" from yellow printer paper. I sponged the flowers with Altenew inks in Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze and Firebrick and then layered them up together. Next I used Altenew Just Green and Hunter Green inks to stamp the Penny Black stamp "Magnolia Rhapsody" and stamped the sentiment from Altenew "Sohcohtoa" set. I glued the flowers over top of the branch. The next step is to run the card panel through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. The one I chose is "Zane" by Couture Creations. I finished by layering onto some orange card before putting onto a white base. A Pale Gold nuvo drop onto the flower centres finished off the card.
