Introducing Fresh Bouquet



Hello and welcome to the first post for the December  Papertrey Ink  Release!  The new products you are seeing here will be available in the store at Papertrey Ink on December 15th at 10:00 EST. 

Today I am showcasing a beautiful new floral stamp set with matching dies by Nichole called Fresh Bouquet. This is a very versatile set as you can stamp the outline image and color it with your favorite coloring medium, or use the coordinating solid images. Lots of fun!



For my first card, I stamped the outline image in black waterproof ink, stamped the solid coordinating stamps, and then used a wet brush and a little more ink to give it a watercolored look. I used Lovely Lady for the main flower and the new Lilac Grace for the smaller flowers. And of course I can't just leave it alone, I had to play and play with it. I used some Royal Velvet and Amethyst Allure around the flowers.




After everything dried, I splattered a little Royal Velvet ink onto it and added a few white dots of acrylic paint. The sentiment was stamped with True Black.

STAMPS: Fresh Bouquet
INK: Lilac Grace, Lovely Lady, Spring Moss, Amethyst Allure, Royal Velvet
PAPER: Stamper’s Select White
OTHER: Watercolor paper, white acrylic paint

For this one, I stamped everything with Stormy Sea ink, then used the solid stamps to fill in. Then I went around everything with Copic markers in matching shades to add some shadows to the flowers and leaves.




I also went around all of the images with a soft grey Copic marker to make them pop. I added a few white dots of acrylic paint and some sequins.

I've added the Copic colors I used to my supply list below.

STAMPS: Fresh Bouquet
INK: Lilac Grace, Lovely Lady, Spring Moss, Amethyst Allure, Stormy Sea
PAPER: Stamper’s Select White
OTHER: Sequins, Copic Markers: BV00, BV000, C00, C1, C2, RV32, G43, BV11

I'm thinking this one might be my favorite. I love the bright colors! I stamped the outline stamp in True Black this time, and used the MISTI to stamp the solid colors, so I could get an ombre effect on the flowers. The sentiment is from the new Keep It Simple: Sending Hugs stamp set, and is white embossed on Smokey Shadow card stock.



I used a round blending tool and Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores to blend the background. I added a few white acrylic paint dots and some clear sequins.

STAMPS: Fresh Bouquet, Keep It Simple: Sending Hugs
DIES: Fresh Bouquet, Tag Sale: Quilted
INK: Almost Amethyst, Royal Velvet, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, True Black

PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Smokey Shadow
