What can I say? It’s another stunning botanical from Marcella Hawley! Botanical Bookplates Vol. 1 has images that also pair up with Flourishes new Tailor-Made Classic Bookplate Template Die. It’s a beautiful combination!
For
my card today I began by stamping the large violet image on kraft paper
with VersaFine Onyx Black. Then I colored the image with Prismacolor
pencils and blended with oms.
I
also stamped and colored the smaller violet image the same way and cut
it out with the bookplate die. I trimmed the decorative edge from the
image after I cut it out, then used the die on green cardstock and
layered the image on top. I used Chocolate Lime Candi
dots on the photo corner and an adhesive pearl strip for
embellishments. I inked around the image panel and the sentiment
panel with white chalk ink before matting also. Did you notice my
perfect stitching? I mean seriously, I have never, ever, stitched that
perfect before! I am very proud, lol!
