Flowers within Flower
As with the card I posted last week I used the big flower of Fabulous Flowers to make an Emerging Color sample. I was trying to come up with a pretty one to write the tutorial with. This was the one I picked. You can see the step by step tutorial in the resource page at splitcoaststampers.
My card base this time is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Groovy Guava cardstock folded in half. The first layer is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Bravo Burgundy cardstock stamped with the Tres Chic background and sponged around the edges in Burgundy.
The center image started out again with a 3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the smaller flowers from Fabulous Flowers in So Saffron, Soft Sky and Groovy Guava. Once those were dry I stamped the big flower from Fabulous flowers with Versamark and embossed it with clear embossing powder.
I brayered over the entire cardstock with Purely Pomegranate classic ink. Then I stamped the swirl image from Priceless in Bravo Burgundy. I wiped the excess ink off with a paper towel and distressed the edges of the cardstock with the cutting tool kit. I punched the top right and bottom left corner with the ticket corner punch.
I layered the image on a 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock and punched out the top right and bottom left corner with the ticket punch as well. I stamped the three smaller flowers from the Fabulous Flower set, cut them out and added jewel brads in the center to finish the card off.
Just saw this on the SCS weekly inkling……absolutely beautiful! You are so creative. I hope that some of it rubs off by just reading your blog!
Cant wait to try this out.
Love this idea, but don’t own a brayer. Have an alternate suggestion? How painful would it be to try to accomplish this with a sponge?
Stop it already with this set??? Girl I LOVE this card!!!!! Because of you and Jenn (good enablers) I have finally ordered this set.
This is beautiful!!! I will have to catch up on your blog when I get back from Hawaii.
This is truly the first card I have seen with this stamp that I actually like. I am always so impressed with what you come up with - you are a creative genious! Beautiful!
Holy Smokes!! This is an awesome card!
I love the color combos and the technique. Thanks Beate.
Absolutely wonderful tutorial! What a neat idea. When I first looked at it I thought it was a paper mosaic but when I saw it was done with stamps and embossing- even I have the patience to do it myself!
I love the Emerging Color technique and this is one of the best samples I’ve seen! love, love, love this card! :0)

Beate, this card is just too stinkin’ cute! And what a creative technique! I love it!
This is an awesome idea! Can’t wait to try it, but I may need some bolder stamps. Darn! Have to go shopping (LOL)

I would have never put those colors together but they look awesome. I will have to use those colors now. I love the technique. I have been admiring that set and now I will definitely get it. You are the greatest. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!
Saw this on SCS inkling. WOW!!!!! This is so beautiful. I’ll have to give this technique a try.
I can’t stand it anymore! Now I have to have this set. I love the idea of embossing resist with this.
Oh my gosh! It’s gorg-e-ous!!! Your emerging color is so fab!
