Sneak Peek: Geraniums

Hi crafty friend, Crystal here today sharing a sneak peeks of the June Release! I have the honor of creating with the stamp set called Geraniums. You will absolutely fall in love with this newest floral stamp set from PPP.

For today’s post I have created a sweet and delicate floral card that is perfect for any occasion.

To make this card, I stamped and heat embossed the Geraniums and leaves with gold embossing powder. I did not mask any of it, just stamped the flowers in a round pattern.

Next, I colored each petal of the Geraniums with Copic numbers. I used RV17 for my darkest shade and RV10 for my lightest shade. The leaves were colored with YG13 (lightest) and YG17 darkest shade. You will notice, I am only using two markers, for that medium shade I do a “kissing” technique where the lightest marker tip kisses the darkest. Then feathering up from the dark to light on the actual petal or leaf.

Once my Geranium was colored, I moved on to shade the edges of the entire floral bundle. Using Distress Ink in Antique Linen, I blended starting at the edge of the petal and moving down careful not to color the interior of the petal.

Then with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, I flickered yellow gold watercolor over the entire card panel.

Now onto that gorgeous sentiment! For this I used the Lovely Script die released in May! Ran that die through my gemini on a piece of gold foil cardstock. I then trimmed tiny pieces of foam adhesive and added those to the die.

To finish, I added a variety of Metallic Gold Confetti Mix to card.

These Geraniums are absolutely super fun to color! Hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
