Hello my crafting friends,
Today I am excited to share with you
my June 2022 Artisan Design Team Project. I was asked to use the Abigail
Rose Product Suite from Stampin’ Up!, Cottage Rose Bundle (Cottage Rose Stamp
Set & Cottage Flowers Dies), The Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper, and
the Natural Finish ribbon. These products are in 2022-2023 Annual Catalog &
Online. To purchase any of these products, please visit my online store. The
link is below in the description.
Today I have a technique that gives a fun twist on using Sponge Daubers. I like using Sponge Daubers when I want to add soft color to my stamped images. This technique which gives a precise edge to your images giving them a cleaner look, but still the softness from the Sponge Daubers. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Product List
How To Color your Flowers:
1- Create your masks. Stamp your flower image two times on Masking Paper. Cut out the petal layers as well as the outside edge.
For the large flower I created a mask for the center, the first layer of petals, the whole flower, the leaves, and the outside edge.
2- Stamp your image in Memento Black in on Basic White Cardstock. Cover the outside edge of the flower and the flower. The leaves should be open. Use either green color, I used Soft Succulent and add color to the leaves. Start with the darkest area and blend to a lighter color around the outside edges.
3- Remove the full flower mask and add the leaf mask. Add the mask for the top layer of petals so only the back petals are open. Add your petal color ink, I used Blushing Bride for the large flower. Start with the darker areas near the center area of each petal and lighten it as it moves to the outside edge of each flower.
4- Remove the top layer of petals and add the mask for
the bottom layer of petals are covered. Add the center mask as well. Color in
the top layer of petals using the same technique as the bottom layer with
Blushing Bride.
5- Add the top layer of petals back over. The center of the flower should be open. Add Crushed Curry in the center. If you need to blend a little with the masks off you can do that too.
6- Carefully remove all masks to reveal your beautiful flower!
TIP: You can save your masks to use with future projects.
Just add them to your stamp case.
Repeat these steps for all the flowers you want to use.
Large Flower & Leaf – Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry,
Soft Succulent
Medium Flower – Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry | Blushing
Bride, Crushed Curry
Small Flowers – So Saffron, Crushed Curry
Leaves – Soft Succulent, Old Olive
Card #1:
1- Add a soft pattern from the Abigail Rose DSP to the
front of your cardbase.
2- Cut the Large Group of Flowers & Leaves from Smoky
Slate Cardstock.
Cut a detailed edge around the die cut with the Largest Deckled
Rectangle Die.
Emboss with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
Add this to your cardbase at a slight angle.
3- Layer one of the Rose Gold strips about 1 ¾” from the bottom of the cardbase.
Take about 5” of ribbon and add tear and tape to the top
edge. Remove the paper backing and fold the ribbon down so the top edge sits
just above the bottom edge making a skinner ribbon. Add this below the Rose Gold
strip. Trim the sides to match the card.
4- Add the largest flower to the left above the Rose Gold strip with dimensionals.
5- Add the other elements around the larger flower with dimensionals.. I place the Calypso Coral Medium flower on the right with one Old Olive Leaf between the two flowers. Add one small So Saffron flower to the left.
6- Stamp your greeting in Memento Black ink and trim it down to fit. Then add it under the flowers with dimensionals.
All Done!
Card #2:
1- Add the DSP to the front of the cardbase.
2- Lay the three ¾” Rose Gold Strips to the center. Start
with the center strip in the center of the card. Then add the second strip on
top with a small gap and then the third strip on the bottom with the same size
gap.
3- Stamp your greeting Memento Black on Basic White Cardstock and cut out with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Choose one that fits your greeting. Add this to the center of the card with dimensionals.
4- Tuck four leaves around the greeting with dimensionals.
I used two Soft Succulent and two Old Olive.
5- Add your choice of flowers on top of the leaves. I used the Medium Blushing Bride in the bottom right corner and two So Saffron Small Flowers in the top left corner.
All Done!
Here is also a fun treat bag you can make with the same coloring technique. I used Rose Gold Specialty Paper and cut a tag from the Tailor-Made Tags.
Add the large flower and a greeting.
I did add Smoky Slate Cardstock to the back of the front
of the box so you don’t see through it.
