SAB is one of the most fabulous times of the Stampin’ Up! year. You can choose a free item from the SAB catalogue for every qualifying purchase.

The background paper is a freebie I got during sale-a-bration (SAB). This sheet is Lost Lagoon. I kept up this theme by stamping in the same coloured ink to add extra interest in the background.

All of Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sets have extra dies that don’t match the stamped image. One of these is this long foliage element. I didn’t want to add extra colour so just used white cardstock. The pop of colour comes from these pretty flowers in Sweet Sorbet from the set Bold Bouquet. I love how all these elements come together so well.

I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. This background is definitely festive, bright and bold. The Modern Garden stamp set has a choice of various florals. It’s also a two step stamping set. I’ve just used one floral and repeat stamped.

The foliage brings this card together. I do want to mention how I did the flower centres. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write marker to colour the centres and added interest with some dots using the Crushed Curry marker.

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background – Abundant Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.

I am resisting the Ombre technique. This allows you to merge two similar tones of colour on one image. It looks great and the best part is, that it’s very easy to achieve.

You can use a sponge dauber, blending brush or piece of sponge to achieve this effect. I stamped my image, which is my birthday sentiment in one lightest colour. In this example that is Flirty Flamingo. I then inked up the bottom part of the image with the darker colour and restamped it.
