Hi everyone! We are excited to announce the arrival of Waffle Flower’s March 2019 release! This month we have 5 new stamps and 7 dies.
We have the lovely Lilac Dreams set (stamp, die, combo) illustrated by Oana Befort this month which brings to mind summer breezes and sweet scented flowers. We also have a new Bouquet Builder set featuring a beautifully arranged bouquet of wildflowers illustrated by Karla Jodoin (stamp, die, combo). The pretty floral elements from our Loved stamp set is now back in a much bolder format in XOXO (stamp, die, combo). To compliment the adorable Be Her stamp set, we now have a dapper Be Him set (stamp, die, combo)! The Animal Tags set, designed by JJ Bolton, (stamp, die, combo) can be customized to create the cutest bear, panda or frog tags. This month we also have two stand alone dies. The Stitched Rose (stand alone die) die allows you to add the look of beautiful stitching to a card in the shape of a pretty rose. The Wave Texture Die (stand alone die) incorporates fluid stitched lines that are reminiscent of a rolling wave, falling rain, or gentle winds.

My card today features the Bouquet Builder 3 stamp and die set. I actually created this card as a sample for Creativation in November, so I apologize for not having more photos.

I stamped and watercolored the image using Daniel Smith watercolor paints. Then I die-cut the image using the coordinating die. I love that it also cuts the spaces between the flowers and foliage. It just makes it so much more delicate that way.

To create the background, I ink-blend Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink over some light blue cardstock – not blending towards the center and it gives it a glow like you see in the photo. I added some texture to the card by splattering some water and white ink before adding the watercolored image using foam adhesive. The sentiment is stamped and embossed using white embossing powder over black ink.

I also created these fun Animal Tags using the new Animal Tags stamps and dies. A stamped message will fit into the back pocket of these tags. I think they’re super cute and sooo fun!

I love the delicate look of the stamp and die. You have colored it beautifully and I love the look you achieved by ink blending in from the edges leaving the center un-inked for that “glow” look. Thank you for sharing this technique.
