Pretty Blooms by Zoe

Good morning Lovelies I hope you are all well?

I'm back with my second post for Spring/April, today I'm sharing with you a couple of simple little cards I made using the lovely little free stamp that came with this months Craft Stamper magazine.

Both were created using my Gelli plates for the backgrounds.

I used my 4" round Gelli plate which I inked up with with my brayer, one side using Carved Pumpkin and the other side using Candied Apple distress inkpads, I lightly stamped around the edge with the stamp clean, just to get a very subtle etched effect, I then cut my card base and topper using a stitched circle nesting die, I stamped using Spanish Moss Versafine Inkpad the beautiful Wisteria Lane stamp set, I then stamped the little "Bloom" from the free stamp onto the card and stamped the flowers onto a separate piece of card using a Red Versafine Inkpad, cut them out, gave them a little shaping with my fingers and stuck them on using a hot glue gun, I drew the antenna's and a little tail, added some glitter glue gel here and there and "voila"

This card I used a mini Gelli Plate inked with Adirondack inkpads Citrus and Stream, I stamped the Flower stamp along the edges using Majestic Blue Versafine Inkpad directly onto my Gelli plate then pulled the print, I cut out my card base a mat and the topper using a rectangle stitched nesting die, I added the smaller flowers to the edges to create a sort of Lacey effect using the Majestic Blue ink, then using Black Versafine ink I stamped one of the stamps from the Autumn Hedgerow set and the little word "Bloom" from the free set, an easy little card, a little busy but I think it's very "springlike"

Thank you so much for popping along, it means so much to hear what you think of my creations, have a great day xx Zoe xx
