You can stamp one flower to make a simple and clean composition, two flowers as I did here, many flowers to fully cover a background, or create small floral clusters as I did today.

This set offers clever design elements.  The floral shapes are very versatile and the sentiments in different sizes and styles will adapt to different design needs.

Mom Flowers Stamp Set

So today I made a little bit of masking to stamp floral clusters at the top and bottom corner of the front panel of this card.

I used smooth Bristol paper, my favourite paper at the moment.

I used the two floral stamps in the set and  Black Ink from Simon Says Stamp and the Tim Holtz stamping Platform

 I added colours using the new Nuvo Shimmer Powders.  I mixed the powders with water and I applied them with a Nuvo water brush.


I also used  Nuvo Solar Flare Shimmer powder together with SSS Tiny Spaced Hearts Stencil to add those teeny tiny yellow hearts in the background.    I  simply placed the stencil on the paper and I sprayed water all over ( not a lot of water), then I put a bit of the powder in the palm of my hand and I  blew it so it was evenly applied all over.

On a watercolour pallet, I mixed the powders with water and I applied them to the images as using any other water-based product. After applying colours and when everything was dry, I  also splattered a concentrated mix of green powder with a bit of water.

I added black Nuvo drops to the flower pistils and to make the sentiment pop up a bit more I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

Using a faber Castell fine tip pen I added tiny  black dots over the flowers.

To stamp the sentiment and the string of the  tea bag in the ceramic cup and on the interior of the card I used Balloon Celebration Stamp set. (find complete list of materials at the end of this post)

How I stamped the sentiment on the curved, irregular surface of the cup?

 I placed a hand towels on my desk  and  on  top of it I placed  the clear block with stamp facing up (to avoid the clear block sliding on the desk).  I applied black Stazon ink on the stamp and I  quickly placed the side of the cup  facing down, near the the right side of the stamp. When it was in a good position I pressed it down and I started  rolling the cup towards the left with gentile, firm pressure, avoiding wobbling.  You can see while stamping if the stamp is in contact with the whole surface while rolling the cup. When I finish rolling the cup I had to wait for a few seconds and then I lifted  quickly.

I have used:
Stampin' Up! watercolour paper.
Pool party ink
Marina mist Ink
Pacific Point Inks
A sheet of Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack
Vellum.
Kraft Card stock.
Circle punch 1 -3/8
