Folk Flowers

Hello! I have a really simple card to share with you today that uses the new Folk Flowers stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, a Kaleidacolor Ink Pad, and a Gel Press.

With the techniques I used, I am actually able to get 3 unique prints, but I am only sharing one today. I made a video on how to make these prints. You can check it out HERE. For this one, I inked up my 6×6 Gel Press with the Denim Kaleidacolor Inks. I pressed the inks on to the plate and then used a brayer to blend them together. Next I placed my stencil on top of the plate. I took a piece of high-quality copy paper and laid it on to the stencil and rubbed the entire surface evenly, to pick up all the ink from the negative spaces. Then I pulled the paper off and was left with what you see on my card. It’s clean, has great colors, and makes a nice background.

I adhered the trimmed down monoprint to a gray card base. Then, I die cut the “hello” die and it’s shadow from Pinkfresh Studio’s Classic Word Die Set from navy blue cardstock and a foiled light blue cardstock. I added some sequins from the Twilight Meadow Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground for some more shine.

This card came together quickly, and like I mentioned earlier, you can get 2 additional prints from this, without adding more ink! I’d love to know if you plan on checking out my video.
