Ready for some more Artistry Blooms DSP fun? Today is a Modern Non-Traditional Christmas Card. Grab that Artistry Blooms Adhesive sheet we made last week and let’s get started.

Here is the card.

• Granny Apply Green cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″
• Whisper White cardstock:
  • 3-3/4″ x 5″ front card panel
  • 3-3/4″ x 5″ inside message panel
• Magenta Madness cardstock: 2″ x 3″
• Artistry Blooms DSP: Adhesive strip sheet we made HERE

Stamp the Good Morning Magnolia image onto the vellum panel using Basic Gray ink. The lines will be blurred by the Stampin’ Blends and the alcohol to create a faux watercolor effect.

Color the image starting with the lightest color. Use Dark Daffodil Delight for the center. Dip a fine-tip paintbrush into the rubbing alcohol and gently move the color. I added Champagne Shimmer Paint to my rubbing alcohol.

Next, color non-adjacent petals with Dark Flirty Flamingo. Gently blur the stamped line. Let dry and repeat on other petals. Do the same for the leaves. TIP: Blow into a straw to gently direct the ink flow in the desired direction.

Add a second layer of color after the image is dry. Repeat the process of alcohol painting and gently blowing the ink.

OPTIONAL: Pick up some clean rubbing alcohol with the paintbrush and flick it over the image. This will create small droplets that will lighten some areas by moving the color outward.

Adhere the vellum panel to the Basic White cardstock panel using Stampin’ Seal or a light amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Add to Basic Black card base.

Stamp the sentiment in White Craft ink and heat emboss with with embossing powder. Trim to you liking. Add to card panel with small black Dimensionals.

Customize the message insert and the envelope with some flicks of color from the brush end of the Stampin’ Blends.
