Hello crafty friends! It’s Donna here, and I have a couple of cards for the science lover in your life! These stamps actually come from the Your Spell stamp set, but I’ve chosen just one of the images and given it a bit of a twist.
I stamped each of these Florence Flasks from the set in Copic friendly ink. ( Yes, Florence Flasks – it must be true, because that’s what the internet told me they were!) I then coloured them in my brightest Copic colours. I coloured seven flasks in all – enough to make two cards. I then cut each of them out with the matching die – I could never have cut around those tiny diamonds by hand!
I chose a sentiment from the Going Places Stamp Set, and I used the Sentiment Strip dies to cut banners from black card so that I could heat emboss the sentiments in white. I love the contrast that a black sentiment gives to both pastel and bright cards alike.
For each of the cards, I chose Distress Inks in colours that matched the Florence Flasks ( I just wanted to say that word again!) I then blended a small area on the card where each flask would go. For the horizontal card, I extended that upwards so that it looked like smoke rising from each flask.
I popped each of the (Florence) flasks and the sentiment up with foam tape for some added dimension, and that completed them both. I hope you’ve enjoyed these cards. I love stretching my supplies to get more out of them, especially seasonal stamps.
Until next time, may your days be colourful ( and may you find the opportunity to slip Florence Flask into daily conversation somewhere!)
Blessings,
Cute cards!
Have a great day!
