Flower Blocks 2

• Set measures approximately 6" x 8"
• The images measure approximately 2 5/8" x 2 5/8"
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Stamp set is priced at $26

Since daisies are my favorite flower, that's the one I chose for my sample.

Creative Nugget:  The background for this card was made on paper from a mixed media pad.  Bubblegum Pink and Pure Sunshine Dylusions were sprayed on the paper, dried, and sprayed again to build up the color.  The extra color left on the craft mat was sprayed with water and dabbed onto a tag which was used for the focal image.  The paper was randomly stamped with the Daisy Flower Block using Jet Black Archival Ink.  This was cut to size and stitched to True Black card stock and mounted to a Golden Harvest card base.  A strip of Bo Bunny DP was stitched to True Black card stock that had been punched with an e.k. Success border.  The daisy image was stamped on the tag and the center watercolored with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  This was cut with a Square Nestie and mounted to a Spellbinders Marvelous Square Die.  Some Lemon Drop Baker's Twine and pearls finish the card.

This second card was made with some of the left over scraps.

Creative Nugget:  Even though this card was made with the same scraps as above, it has an entirely different look.  On this card you can see some of the leafy ghosting which was done by spraying water through a mask.  The water removed some of the Dylusions ink creating a ghost image.
