Irresistibly Floral Speccialty DSP

Hello, Crafters.

Yesterday I had great time playing with the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series (DSP).

Eventually I ran out of time, and inspiration, so I don't have a completed project, but I wanted to share my results so far!

I've made two card bases - photographs 1 & 3 - and I think I'll use them to focus on a special sentiment or saying. 

It's very possible that I may change my mind before then! 

If you have an idea, I'd be very interested in hearing it!

The Irresistibly Floral DSP comes as 12" x 12" lightweight white cardstock (CS), and each sheet is covered with white embossed patterns. 

The pack comes with 12 sheets, with 2 sheets in each of six different designs. 

Three of the designs are floral and the other three include stripes, diagonal lines, and circles.

I used one of our sponge brayers and covered a complete sheet using Rose Red Ink - see photographs 5 & 6. 

My first idea was to cut the corresponding flowers from the second sheet and adhere them onto of the sponged flowers. 

This looked awful so I moved onto plan B!

This was far more successful - see photographs 3 & 4.

I used a white gel pen and coloured the flowers using straight lines rather than trying to colour as a solid colour. 

Having seen what the white cut flowers looked like in Plan A, I didn't think that would be a particularly good idea. 

As soon as I finished this off by painting the centres of the flowers using my Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Pen, I knew I'd use this as a base for a card. 

At the same time it made me think of plan C!

I cut another top layer and painted the flowers using my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. 

This changed the colour of the flower slightly and obviously made it very glittery! 

I finished the sheet by painting the centres of the flowers as before. 

Unfortunately, photographs don't really do justice to these card bases but I'm sure you get the idea!
 
I don't have a favourite - photographs 1 & 3 - do you?

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
