Glow Flowers with Mini Pipin

Hello and welcome to AddINKtive Designs.

Watching video tutorials by Jo Rice has quickly become one of my favourite pastimes. I absolutely love her laid back, casual style, her gorgeous English accent and the fun techniques that she shares. My ‘brew’ of choice is coffee but I do try and refrain from eating a ‘cheeky biscuit’ while I’m crafting.

After attending an Art Journal Class last month at Bev’s Cross Crafts in Spreyton, I’ve become quite taken with Lavinia Stamps. Even though I’ve been stamping for 14 plus years, I feel like I have my ‘L’ Plates on as this ‘style’ is a big stray from my usual 3D card making and I’m loving every minute of it! I have no doubt that the two styles will eventually merge as I gain more confidence. For now, I’ll keep watching and replicating some of Jo’s beautiful cards.

Here are the cards that I made today as I crafted along with Jo –

‘Speckled Egg’ Glow Flowers with Mini Pipin

For my first card, I pretty much copied Jo’s original design but used the Leaf Creeper stamp instead of Whimsical Whisps (as I don’t own that one … yet). I recently purchased some Monte Marte Pastel Pencils and selected a couple of different blues and the white to use for my Glow Flowers. Some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter (SU) was added to the coloured parts on the flowers for a bit of sparkle.

‘Tattered Rose’ Glow Flowers with Mini Pipin

For my second card I used Tattered Rose Distress Ink instead of Speckled Egg and changed the ‘Glory’ Stencil for the ‘Feather Leaf’ one to switch it up a little. I also added three ‘hills’ using the Acetate Hill Masks on this one. The Glow Flowers were coloured with Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencils (SU) as they were a good match.
