Hello everyone 🧚‍♀️

Here is my new picture tutorial using some of the fabulous new stamps from the gorgeous Sunbloom Collection. 

Hope you like it, these stamps! 

Picture 1

Cut your multifarious card to these two sizes: One piece sized 15 x 21cm and one sized 13.5 x 19.5cm 

Picture 2

We need to make a hole in the smallest card. I used a tea mug and traced around it for my hole, but if you have a Die or a circle cutter you can use that. The hole is 10cm in diameter. 

Picture 3

On a third piece of Multifarious card we will need to stamp our cut outs. Stamp the fabulous new Bumble and Hum LAV892 in Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves. One facing right and two facing left. We need many flowers so we need many gorgeous Moss Flowers LAV898. I stamped 11 small flowers and 8 big stamped in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. We also need some Bumble Words LAV900 stamped in Versafine Clair Twilight.

To create our sky background we will first use Distress oxide Tumbled glass. 

Apply very unevenly and be sure that the lighter spaces are almost white. 

Put your smaller card with the hole on top of the bigger card in the position that we are going to glue it on later. Then use a regular pencil to very gently trace around in the hole. This is so we know how to position our stamping.

Now we will use our Elements ink Blue Atoll to create more contrast in the colour. After applying the colour, spray some water on both cards and let the magic happen. Dry with a heat tool.

In Versafine Clair Twilight we will stamp the gorgeous Hummingbird Small LAV894. Make sure that her wings and tail are inside the circle we drew. The fabulous Shadow Bloom LAV904 and the Berry Leaves LAV577 we will stamp around the hole like you see in the picture in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Do both first and second generation stamping with the Berry Leaves.

Let us add a few Berry Leaves LAV577 in between the flowers and some lovely Wild Summer Flower Stamp LAV749 both in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Look at the picture for placement.

Let’s start colouring. Using the Koh-I-Noor Mondeluz watercolour pencils use a vibrant yellow for the Bumble bees and the flowers and leave the middle part white like you see in the picture. Find a fabulous blue colour for parts of our gorgeous Hummingbird. Again, look at the picture for placement of colour. We need a white Posca pen or white Uniball pen to colour our Wild Summer flowers. Use a black colour pencil to draw on our bees. Repeat the sky colour and pattern on top of our words.

Next use an Orchid pink watercolour pencil to colour the centre of the flowers and blend with the yellow colour. The same colour we will use on a small part of our gorgeous Hummingbird too.

Picture 10

The final colour on our flowers is a dark purple. A dark green colour we will use to colour the rest of our gorgeous Hummingbird. 

Picture 11

Now cut out all the flowers and bees. Cut the words out like you see in the picture. Also erase the circle we drew earlier. 

Picture 12

Time to mount the two cards together. Use some 3D foam to glue the cards together.

 

Picture 13

Use a thin black Posca pen or a black Uniball pen to draw some dots in the centre of each flower. Both on the cut outs and the flowers on the card. Now take a flower cut out and place it in the middle of your hand, use the thumb on your other hand to press down in the middle of the flower. The petals should now be slightly bent upwards. Repeat on all flowers. 

Picture 14

Let’s start to glue on our flowers and bees. We start with the bigger flowers. We only need glue on the middle part of the flower. Look at the picture for placement. 

 

The little bee we will glue on with 3D foam.

Picture 15

Almost finished! The smaller flowers we glue on like we did the big ones. Only a drop of glue in the middle of the flowers. The super cute Bees and the sentiments we glue on with some 3D foam. 

 

And now we are done.

I hope you enjoyed making this card with me. If you have any questions, please, just ask me and I will answer as soon as I can. Hugs Mona.
