Sneak Peek: Hibiscus Flowers

Hi friends, Angelica here kicking off our sneak peeks with a card showcasing the fabulous new Hibiscus Flowers stamp set that releases on June 10th. 

I started this card by stamping the hibiscus images onto Fabriano Extra White watercolor paper with distress inks. For the purple and pink flowers, I used Spun Sugar, and the rest I used Antique Linen. I colored the images with a rainbow of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, a #4 round watercolor brush, and clean water. I kept a paper towel next to me to clean my brush off frequently. I started by adding darkest colors first, moving the pigments around with my lightly damp paintbrush. I then went back with the markers alone to add fine details. Once the paper was completely dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For the card front, I ink-blended turquoise stripes using the Wide Stripes Stencil. I stamped two sentiments from the new  Tropical Birds stamp set with embossing ink, then heat-embossed with gold embossing powder. I attached the panel to an A2 size card base with craft foam, then added the floral arrangement with foam squares. My final touch was adding Citrus Mix Jewels around the flowers with Ranger Multi-Media Matte.

I hope I have helped inspire you with ideas for these gorgeous stamp sets. Join us tomorrow for another look at the new June 10th release!
