So I just had to use Bloom Mae (the ‘after’ one naturally) in a project and here she is.
I never played
with shrink film as a kid but I'm making up for it now. I printed off my coloured image on a bit of
shrink film and then used a Nestability to fame her. They had a great tut over at the SOG blog for
backgrounds to stamps by Anna Maria of the DT.
You keep the Nesty in place and add some colour with a sponge and then
stamp around the edges. I used the
flowers from the Nouveau Girls Renew set in copper, platinum and coral
Brilliance inks and the blue edge was Smooch Pool. I love the way my little homemade charm
turned out.
For the card
itself I used two different Core’dinations cardstocks and some My Mind’s Eye
patterned paper. A bit of tulle from
Webster’s Pages and ribbon from Jillibean helped finish my background. I used a Shapeability for the banner, which I
stamped with one of the sentiments from the Romantic Gwen set. To tie in with bloom of Bloom Mae I added
some resin flowers from my stash. The
stick pins are ones I made for the card with some glass pearls and metal
flowers.
I’m really happy
with how this card came out and I’m going to enter this over at the SOG October challenge sketch.
