In Color Club September 2020 - Bumblebee

To me, the Bumblebee cardstock and the Crushed Curry cardstock are very similar. And the Daffodil Delight isn't too far off. But look how great all the colors go together in the second card!

Friend

Base card: Bumblebee 8 ½ x 5 ½ scored at 4¼ (portrait orientation)

First Panel: 2020-2022 In-Color DSP - Bumblebee (pattern may vary from photo) 5⅜ x 4 ⅛

Second Panel: Very Vanilla 5 ¼ x 4

Scraps: Very Vanilla

Stamps: Forever Blossoms

Dies: Cherry Blossoms and Stitched so Sweetly Dies

Cut the first panel from the 6x6 piece of In-Color DSP. You have a choice!
For the second panel align in the center the largest Nested Label die. You will use the frame, but keep the label for another project! (You don't actually have the leftover piece - I used it in August!) Adhere the frame to the DSP and adhere the ribbon to the back of both pieces. Adhere to the base card.
Stamp "Friend" with Magenta Madness on the smallest label from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
Stamp the cherry blossoms with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a large scrap of Very Vanilla and cut out with coordinating die. Set aside to dry for a bit.
When the ink is dry you are going to use the Stampin' Write markers to color the flowers. I used Bumblebee, Just Jade and Magenta Madness. (see below)
Once colored adhere to card as in sample. I adhered the bottom half of the flowers with regular adhesive and I put Dimensionals under the top half of the flowers.

Coloring with Stampin' Write Markers - watercolor style

Because Stampin' Write Markers are water based they will not blend if you put them directly onto regular cardstock. What I do to add just a wee bit of color is this:

Stamp the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Using the large brush-point end of the marker, scribble a little bit of ink onto a non-porous surface. (I used an old CD but you can use anything - plastic lid, paint palette, silicon mat, etc.)
Using your Stampin' Up! Blender pen, pick up a bit of the ink from the palette of your choice and apply to the image as appropriate.
You need to be very light-handed. This technique is meant to be quick. DO NOT go over an area repeatedly as the paper will pill and/or you will create a hole.
As an aside, you may use this technique on watercolor paper with a water brush or the blender pen. You may go over the area repeatedly as the watercolor paper is sturdier.

You Mean so Much to Me

Base card: Bumblebee 8 ½ x 5 ½ scored at 4¼ (portrait orientation)

First Panel: Crushed Curry 5 ¼ x 4

Scraps: Very Vanilla

Stamps: Forever Blossoms

Dies: Cherry Blossoms and Stitched so Sweetly Dies

Emboss the Crushed Curry panel with Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.
Die cut the largest frame from the Stitched so Sweetly dies from a large scrap of Very Vanilla.
Stamp the cherry blossoms with Bumblebee ink on a large scrap of Very Vanilla and cut out with coordinating die.
Using the flowers as a guide, stamp "You mean so much to me" on the die cut Very Vanilla panel with Memento Tuxedo Black.
Adhere all as in sample. Wrap the Daffodil Delight Ruched ribbon around all and then adhere to base card.
Add 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots where desired.
