Wendy Vecchi Country Flower Cards

Hello Friends

I am back with some more inspiration using Wendy Vecchi's gorgeous Country Flower

Stamp/Die/Stencil set.

I wanted to experiment with Wendy Vecchi's new Washi Tape and one of Wendy's older Stamp sets - LCS018 - It's More Than Flower Art.

Here is what I started with, along with some white stamping card.

For the first card I stamped the stripes in Wendy's Blendable Dye Ink in Tea Rose.  The flower and leaves were stamped in Watering Can Archival ink, cut out using the dies in the set and then coloured with Blendable Dye Inks in Tea Rose, Peat Moss and Sunflower.

The Washi Tape was torn slightly and applied in strips going across and up and down the card.  To finish off I splatted some Tea Rose and Sunflower inks, mixed with a little water.  I used a Tim Holtz word strip attached to some more Washi Tape.

This card was made in exactly the same way just using different colours.  I don't use Washi Tape very often but I really love how the tapes set off the flowers beautifully in these designs.

I cut some extra card for matting and coloured the edges of each with the Blendable Inks so that they matched the colours in the cards.

Here is a final look at the finished cards.

If you are based in the UK you can pre-order Wendy's fabulous new stamps/dies/stencils and the Washi Tape from Art From the Heart.  (Wendy's amazing new Stay-tion, that she demoed at Creativation is also available on pre-order from AFTH).

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope to see you again soon.

Hugs, Anne xx
