Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" Ivy Flower Pot Card



Another disturbed night of sleep, so I got up and faffed in the craft room, eventually making this card.

I started by adding a light covering of "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink on the lower right hand side of the white card. I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" to stamp the flower pot, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" stamp set.  I masked off the flower pot and applied three shades of Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Brick Wall ST9" stencil. The colours I used are:  Sea Glass, Tea Rose and Shadow Grey.

Removing the mask, I then added grounding and shading below the flower pot, using a 2B pencil and a paper stub.  I painted the flower pot using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  The colours I used are Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge.

Next I stamped the ivy leaves, part of the Tracy Evans "A Myriad Of Designs TE44" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I added extra colour to them using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a gold coloured gel pen.

Finally, I stamped the bird, part of the Tracy Evans "A Promise Of Tomorrow TE63" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" and coloured with Van Goch Pastel Pencils, a black fine liner pen and a white gel pen.

  1. I love this super terracotta pot filled with ivy which looks great Sam, and the added bird is lovely sitting on the edge and the softly stencilled brick wall and the well grounded pot with some ink blending and a perfect shadow beneath give a beautiful finished look to the card. x
