Vintage Rustic Floral

Hello WOW fans! It is Natasha here and I am excited to share an idea on how to use your floral stamps to create a mixed media style card! So let's get started!

For today's card I started with a gorgeous floral stamp set. This stamp set is truly a favorite of mine. I started by stamping the floral image onto hot press water color paper. I stamped the image using Versafine Clair ink and then heat embossed the image using Clear Gloss Embossing powder. Next I watercolored my floral image using my zig markers. I worked in layers allowing each layer to dry inbetween.

Next I chose a pre-made gelli print background from my stash. I ran the gelli print through my die cutting machine with a 3D embossing folder. Next I added distress inks to the dry embossed background. I used a combination of distress inks and distress oxides. I applied the inks using a blending tool. Next I chose a few stamps from my stash to add some more texture to my background. I stamped the images onto the background using archival ink. I then distressed the edges of my background panel and applied more ink. Then I heat embossed the background panel using Weather Gold embossing powder. I applied my WOW embossing ink to various sections of the panel using a blending tool. I then added the powder and heat set using my heat tool. I applied the powder in various sections to add a bit more texture and visual interest.

To complete the card I added some sprays from Lindy's gang for more texture. I then added a few metallic splatters to the background as well. I adhered the background panel to a brown card base with liquid glue. I then added foam tape to my floral image and adhered this to my card base. To complete the card I added a sentiment and a few sequins!
