Brushed Blooms – Another Fantastic Bundle

I think Brushed Blooms from Stampin’ Up gives the feeling of a mixed media look.

Measurements/Tips

Cardbase is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″

The top layers are 5 1/4″ and then torn just randomly at a position that fits nicely and still show the Basic Black card base.

I created three of each types of leaves.  I stamped three with Pear Pizzazz and then used the dies and cut out 3 of the base with Pear Pizzazz and then the veins in Old Olive.

The other colors are Merry Merlot and Blushing Bride.  I did stamp off the Merry Merlot on the smaller flower.  I did use Stampin’ Markers to color the small flower bud.

Use the Stamparatus  to use the larger paint brush image down the page.  I love how it evenly spaces when using the Stamparatus.

Using two different threads creates another layer of interest.  The 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim is perfect for a card like this because the ends unravel to create a fun look.  This paired with the the Forever Greenery Trim Combo gold thread, which also unravels, is a fun combination.

I did take the Memento ink pad and blacked the edges with a little messy look to help give this card a little more mixed media feel.

Don’t forget to finish off the card with a little decorating on the inside panel.  I also did the same dots and color on the envelope flap.
