Morning all!
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a summery floral make.
I finally had the chance to sit down and play with one of the recent additions to The Greetery’s BotaniCuts series.
The BotaniCuts Wisteria dies.
Stamps: The Greetery – Opposites Attract
Dies: The Greetery – Opposites Attract, The Greetery – Opposites Attract Script, The Greetery – BotaniCuts Wisteria, The Greetery – Hoopla Oval
As always, my first outing for any BotaniCuts set starts with viewing the accompanying how-to video on YouTube, and this time I followed along with Betsy’s tutorial – including using the same Distress Oxide shades and adding some pencil detail.
As I’d cut the Wisteria from watercolour card, I also went in with some water spritzing to add some more variation to the inked die cuts. This worked a treat!
While the Wisteria die cuts were drying, I created the background to my card.
I grabbed some cream cardstock for my card base and the large Hoopla Oval die to frame the florals.
The large hoop is cut from kraft cardstock, but to accentuate the woodgrain texture, I went over it with my brown ink blending brush.
I used the inside of the oval frame as a mask on my cream card base when splattering some diluted Wilted Violet ink on the base, that way the space inside the hoop was left unsplattered – for now!
I then glued down the hoop and Wisteria and gave them a good splattering of pearlescent watercolour paint.
The Opposites Attract sentiment set and coordinating dies for the bold and scripty sentiments in the set worked well for the remaining space.
So once my sentiment was in place, I just added a few twinkly sequins as a finishing touch.
Until next time, happy crafting!
