We're nearly half way through Sale-a-Bration 2016, and I wanted to show you what I think will turn out to be the most versatile of the stamp sets you can get for free with each £45 spend.
Flowering Fields (#141303) is one of this year's great free Sale-A-Bration offerings. It has lovely clean lines and is great for colouring in. You might be tempted to stamp the flowers all in a row for a botanical guidebook feel, and they work very well that way. Or cluster them together for a wildflower garden effect. Check out Pinterest for oodles of ideas on how to use them.
For today's card I want to show how they can be used to form backgrounds, rather than being the focal point of a card. I've repeat stamped a single image (top row, middle stamp) to draw the eye in towards the centre of the card.
I coloured my leaves in with alcohol markers, using two tones that match Mossy Meadow, the green cardstock I used.
I also stamped the little heart shaped petals from the Bloomin' Love stamp set, in Rose Red ink in among the green leaves.
The flower cluster behind the sentiment is also from the Bloomin' Love set. It matches this flower from the Love Blossoms DSP pack:
I inked up the whole stamp with a Rose Red ink pad, the carefully wiped off the ink from the leaves and coloured them in with a Mossy Meadow green marker. I stamped it once onto the label, inked it up the same way and stamped again, slight twisting and overlapping the two images - the banner sentiment (also from Bloomin' Love) then covers up the join.
The label is finished off with some silver twine and a pink flower cut from the Bloomin' Heart framelits.
It's a nice, crisp card you can adapt for any occasion.
Remember, the Flowering Fields stamp set is free when you spend over £45 during Sale-A-Bration. You can place a qualifying order by clicking on the products I used, below.
