Summer Bloom – Rachel Vass Designs

May 30, 2020

Hi everyone – I am excited to be back to share the beautiful new release from Rachel Vass Designs – Summer Bloom. I love this bold flower! This beautiful new set comes with a shaded version of the summer bloom, as well as unshaded! How fun is that! You can visit Rachel’s shop here

For today’s card I chose to work with the shaded summer bloom. I wanted to create a large floral image as the focus of my card. Once it was set to the size I was looking for I printed the image on Canson Mixed Media paper. I used my peerless water colors to color in my flower. I used a variety of shades today. I am loving these new water colors and how bright they are. Once my image was complete I set it aside to dry fully.

To create my card panel I chose to work with patterned paper from my stash. The papers I am using today are an older set from Stampin Up, it is double sided. I trimmed the side panel and used a punch to create the scalloped border on the pink. I then chose a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and stamped this on gray card stock and heat embossed this using white embossing powder. I was then ready to assemble my card. I used my scan and cut to trim the floral. I used foam tape to pop up the floral, as well as the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Supplies Used:

  • Stamps: Summer Bloom – Rachel Vass Designs, Sentiment (Simon Says Stamp)
  • Paper: Canson Mixed Media Paper, Patterned paper (Stampin Up)
  • Coloring Medium: Peerless water Colors

Have a wonderful weekend! It is a bit cooler here today!

Crafty Hugs,

Natasha
