The second set we are featuring is Fill It with Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger. Melanie is at it again! She has created another wonderful set that is incredible versatile and fun where the possibilities are endless for making beautiful cards for any occasion.
Fill it with Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger |
I created a colorful background by using watercolors, a spritzer and a craft sheet, then die cut the square shape. I stamped the windmill image with Dark Chocolate ink once the piece had dried. The sentiment is stamped with Sweet Mango and distressed with Kraft and Dark Chocolate and some stamping with the Tiny Textures set.
Stamps: Fill It With Flowers and Tiny Textures
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Sweet Mango
Cardstock: Watercolor, Dark Chocolate, Fresh Asparagus
I stamped the paper wrap first, then created a mask and added the flower, made another mask and added the greenery. The images are colored with colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits. I distressed the edges with some doodling and kraft ink.
Stamps: Fill It With Flowers

Here are some cards that I shared at StampTV.
I stamped the images in Black Stazon ink then watercolored with Watercolor Crayons.
Stamps: Country Roads 2 and Sending Love
Ink: Black StazOn
Cardstock: Watercolor, White and Black Onyx
I stamped the image with Fresh Asparagus ink. The sentiment is stamped with Lagoon ink. I colored the negative space around the flowers with colored pencils and blended it with odorless mineral spirits.
Ink: Lagoon, Fresh Asparagus
Cardstock: White
Stamps: Fill It With Flowers
I stamped the vase and then the flower, water and ribbon. The water is created with the Tiny Textures stamp set. I used a watercolor pen to highlight areas of the flower and the stem with different colors. I stamped the tiny tag with Turquoise Sea ink and distressed the edges with Dark Chocolate.

Beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I really like how you distressed and doodled on the second card.
ReplyDeleteAllie: Thank you for these cards that are all very inspiring and attractive. I like the butterfly card the best, but think that I would use many different greetings on it, not just the sympathy (but I know that you have to choose one and can't show everyone that could possibly be used).
ReplyDeleteHi Allie ♥ (waving) What a lovely assortment of designs! You know, I have seen others use that background technique "smoosh"? but I still have not tried it. It looks addicting though. Each one of your cards is amazing and inspirational!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your designs and colors. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the hydrangea as a background stamp, and the simplicity of the last card is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove the sympathy card with flowers and butterfly - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards.
ReplyDeleteLove the corner doily cuts on first card - all creations beautiful! TFS
