Sentimentally Yours - Bohemian Flourish

 Just for fun.. to challenge myself

I have been admiring cards created with Sentimentally Yours products.

I have been wanting some of the new product..but it isn't so easy to find it here in the US.

So i did some searching and found this beautiful Sentimentally Yours rubber stamp on Ebay. 

It is called Bohemian Flourish. I was thinking it was new, because i am learning the line.

Turns out it is dated 2019. To me it is still "new".

I wanted to share whatever i made in the Creating with Sentimentally Yours Facebook group. 

Whenever you share in a company's site you are to use their product.  Well, i only own this stamp because of the product just isn't available here unless it's old. 

So everything i will put on this card will be with the stamp only.

So plan A was to ink up the stamp with Distress Oxide Ink and spritz the stamp to get a watercolor look.

That idea didn't work so well.

So plan B..  i decided to stamp the image with VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist and color it in with PrismaColor pencils. As this evolved, i chose to stamp the floral part 2 more times and color that area in to look like the main stamp flower.

When i finished coloring in the stamped images, i fussy cut around them. Now i needed something to put this design on.  I wanted something "more" than white card stock.  So i decided to stamp the stamp onto white card stock using Distress Oxide Ink - Lost Shadow..i also used clear embossing powder to get a bit of a shine.  

Now, i can layer up my card.  I decided to machine stitch around the border of the paper.  I matted that and put adhered that to the card base.  Next, i glued the extra flowers as shown. And i used double-sided foam tape for the main image and adhered that as well. 

I needed something to fill in the corner areas and i didn't have a sentiment from Sentimentally Yours, so i used small pieces of cheese cloth and glued and tucked them under the main stamped image.

I am hoping to find some more Sentimentally Yours stamps, so that i can continue to participate in the Facebook group. 

Thanks for stopping by!
