- White Stazon opaque Ink pad
- Glossy white paper
- Stamp set: Fifth avenue floral
- Re inker or classic ink pads - Rose red, Tangerine Tango and kiwi kiss
- Aquapainter or water colour brush
- spray bottle
- Perfect plum and whisper white cardstock
- Wide oval punch.
- Sharp scissors.
Step 1. Stamp the Fifth avenue flower onto glossy white cardstock with the white stazon ink. Spray with water. You can just see how the ink resists the water on the paper.
Step 2. Add a drop of rose red ink onto a plastic lid and use your aquapainter or water colour brush to colour the flowers. I did some in rose red and a few I touched the centres with tangerine tango ink for some variation in colour.
Step 3. The paper is quite wet and the water runs everywhere so you can tip the paper to one side or blot it with paper towell, or do both, then set it aside to dry. You could speed it up with the heat gun I suppose.
Step 4. Next we cut out the individual flower images with sharp scissors. Remember, for a clean neat cut, turn the paper not the scissors.
Step 5. Cut half an A4 page of cardstock on the diagonal - I measured 80mm on one short edge of the A4 and 155cm on the other and drew a line between them. Cutting it will give you two cards from the same piece of cardstock. Score and Fold one of the pieces into 3rds - 9.8 and 19.6cm to make up your zig zag card.
Step 6. Adhere your flowers to the card. I've used seven flowers. Some are up on dimensionals.
Step 7. Stamp some stems for the flowers and the sentiment from fifth avenue floral onto whisper white cardstock and then layer it onto a wide oval punched piece of rose red cardstock.
Here it is showing the zig zag fold of the card.
And open to see where you can write your message ... the only other thing I might add is a ribbon to hold it closed if you have used dimensionals.
The instructions say it is designed for use on plastic, metal, glass ceramic, and glossy cardstock. Appropriate for all surfaces. But use on porous surfaces such as leather, wood and fabric may not result in fully opaque impressions.
It seems to work OK on cardstock, perhaps not as opaque as white craft ink ...
And it is especially effective on gloss white cardstock ... when sponged with Rose Red Classic ink.
It works beautifully for watercolouring - stazon resist with reinker watercolouring -
Verdict: A versatile and fun new product ... you will see it on many of my new projects I think. 



You can make three of these cards from a single page of sahara sand cardstock and half a sheet of black and less than half a sheet of the DSP.

It is difficult to see in the picture. But the bird, flower, sentiment and heart are all stamped on gloss white paper. It gives the card a lovely glossy dimension (just like a bought one!) ... 




Inspired by Nature? definitely... This was a quickly made at night time card. Only two layers of cardstock.
Can you see how I have placed some droplets onto the close to cocoa flower centres?
The tag is attached with embroidery thread. The tag Cardstock is Riding hood red and the sentiment: Thanks so much is from Trendy trees stamps set. Enjoy!
Pretty isn't it? When you open it up - out pops a scene of stamped images.
You can have words and birds, flowers and hearts or anything attached to the walls of your scene. This one reminds me of a little girls pink wall papered bedroom.
I have used the Always Designer series paper to line the card and the matching Always stampset and Enjoy stampset too.
I enjoyed adding accessories such as brads, dazzling diamonds glitter and crystal effects to the items in the scene. I've used the colours: tangerine tango, rose red and perfect plum with lots of rocking and rolling of the stamps in the different ink colours.
The Always flower is topped with a punched out circle which has been covered in crystal effects and sprinkled heavily with dazzling diamonds for the added bling. I am thinking of making one of these for a special christmas card with Christmas trees and snow ...
Enjoy!
