Hi crafty friends!
I'm here, today, sharing a new card with you, featuring the Summer Flower Press Plate and the "ghost" sentiment technique.
To make my card I started by placing the Summer Flower Press plate on Betterpress Letterpress system machine and lightly inking it with a black archivial ink. Then I run the Betterpress "sandwich" on my Platinum 6 die cut machine to transfer the image on the watercolour paper.
Next I watercolored the summer flowers using the Schmincke Horadam watercolours in many shades of green and I traced the floral's outline using a black pen.
Once the coloring dried I die cut the Floral image into a rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and then I stamped the black sentiments, from the Abstract Background Stamp set, on the Summer Flower petals. I got the idea from my friend Sylvie @Kaliscard.
Next up I continued making the Ghost or Eclipse Sentiment!
I die cut the "friend" sentimet, from the Delicate Frame & Friend die set, directly above the colored flower creating a hidden on it and I glued it on white base card. Then I die cut 4 other "friends" from a black cardstock and I glued them on the hidden spaces putting at the top the colored one I die cut from the colored flower.
In this way the die cut ghost sentiment pops out .
I added some white gel pen touch and that's it!
Below a recap of the products I used:
Nested Scalloped Frames die set
