Birthday Peruvian Lilies

Hi friends. Vera here. As this post goes up, cross fingers, I have arrived safely in Tokyo, Japan. Hubby & I been planning this trip for a while and we’re so looking forward to this. And, of course, being in Tokyo, I’ll be dragging hubby to the craft store than Japan is famous for. Anyway, I’ve prepared today’s card in advance.

For this post, I am showcasing Coming Up Peruvian Lilies set. To start, I created the background using gel press technique. I used Soft Garden, Spring Salad, & Caribbean Turquoise and with a brayer smooth the colors and then press Blooming Peony Garden Background stamp to the gel pad. Carefully lift up the stamp and press a cardstock panel to the gel pad to get the above background.

Next, stamped the Peruvian Lilies and colored with Copic markers. Die cut with Coming Up Peruvian Lilies Coordinating Die set. Adhere the flower at an angle to the green panel. Trim the excess part and then adhere the panel to the card base. Finish by adding sentiment from Layered Floral Alpha Stamps (by the way, if you need a sentiment set that covers a lot of occasions, this is a good set to have) and some mix size Emerald Green Opaque rhinestones.

That’s all I have for today. Hope you enjoy today’s inspiration and may today brings something that brighten your day.

Hi friends. Happy Fri-yay! Vera here. After a super hot summer in Houston, I am so happy that we finally have fall weather. Like literally when I felt the crisp air last weekend, hubby & I feel so much joy just to be able to enjoy sitting outside enjoying our backyard. With fall weather, I know my garden savvy friends already talk about what to plant. Since I am still semi brown thumb, I’ll share my paper flower. 🙂

As you can probably see from the post on The Ton, the Climbing Peruvian Lilies layering stencil is a big hit. We all love using this set. Here, I used Hollywood Star, Dolled Up, Coral Cavern, Honey Dew and Meadow ink pad for the coloring. Once done, die cut with Coordinating Coming Up Peruvian Lilies die. I also die cut 2 more piece to layer and thicken up the inked up die cut lilies. Put aside. Using Coming Up Peruvian Lilies Stamp, stamped the image twice directly on card base using Soft Ash ink.

Blend some Cali Blue ink on the bottom of the card and then adhered the die cut lilies. For the sentiment, I used the sentiment from Group Fresh Daisies set.

I thin this card turned out pretty well and I sure hope you agree with me. 🙂 That’s all I have for today friends. Hope you enjoy today’s inspiration and I wish you all a lovely weekend. Cheers….

Peruvian Lilies

Hello everyone ! It’s TaeEun here today with a watercolored floral card! I’m back after my summer break 🙂 ! Hope you’re all doing well ❤ !

To jumpstart my crafting mojo I chose my favorite medium to color the flowers from the Coming Up Peruvian Lilies stamp set. Of course you can use the coordinating layering stencil set to color this adorable lilies, which is called Climbing Peruvian Lilies!

To begin I stamped the image with an embossing ink on a watercolor paper panel and heat embossed it in black. Then I watercolored the panel. First I loosely watercolored the whole panel including the image in the colors which I would use to color the flowers and leaves. For the flowers I used rose madder, scarlet red and lemon yellow and the leaves were colored in various shades of green. After I was done with the watercoloring I let the panel dry and splattered black ink on it, mainly on the background. Next I cut the image using the coordinating die.

To add some interest to the background I die cut the background part of the panel with the Quilted A2 die and mounted it flat on a white cardbase. I then foam mounted the lily image to its place.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was heat embossed in white on a piece of black cardstock and cut using the coordinating die. To finish off I added some Bright Green Opaque and Pale Orange Opaque rhinestones to the card.

That’s it from me! Hope I was able to inspire you with my card today!

Thank you so much!
