Build-A-Flower: Snapdragon - Ink Bundle |
The snapdragon flower comes in various colors and color combinations. I love to make cards with those kind of flowers, because I can color them as I want :)!
I've made two cards for today's blog hop. Let's take a look at them!
The first card is a CASE of my own card. I wanted to make one like the previous card, because I loved the effect on the teal background created using colored pencils.
I colored the image using Holbein colored pencils. The flowers were colored mainly in white with shades of pink and coral. I added pencil strokes in the background in dark teal, black, Indigo, blue and green colors.
That's it from me! Hope I was able to show you how versatile the Build-A-Flower: Snapdragon set is.
I had tons of fun playing with this set!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Wishing you a happy hopping!

I started off by stamping the first layer of the snapdragon flowers and stems in a white pigment ink on a teal cardstock panel from New Day card kit. I skipped the second layer and stamped the third layer in Pinkalicious to get the idea where the shades are. I stamped the second layer of the greenery in Bamboo.
I colored the image using Holbein colored pencils. The flowers were colored mainly in white with shades of pink and coral. I added pencil strokes in the background in dark teal, black, Indigo, blue and green colors.
After the coloring was done I heat embossed the sentiment in Pure White Crisp embossing powder directly on the colored panel. The longer sentiment was also white heat embossed on a strip of purple cardstock. I trimmed the colored panel and foam mounted it on a white cardbase and added the sentiment strip using some foam adhesives.
For the next card I stamped the snapdragon flowers in layers.
I first stamped the snapdragon using Warm and Cozy, Pocketful of Sunshine and Tropical Forest mini ink cube sets. I die cut them using the coordinating dies and set them aside.
To create an artsy background first I masked the right and bottom border of a cream cardbase. I then stamped the splatter image from Watercolor Frames set in Citrus Burst, Sunkissed and Bamboo and ink blended the right bottom edge using the same colors.
I stamped the sentiment also from Build-A-Flower: Snapdragon set in Espresso on the cardbase. I then added the die cut snapdragon flowers onto the card using some foam adhesives. To finish off I scattered some clear and yellow sequins.
I had tons of fun playing with this set!

These are so beautiful! :)
Two fabulous cards TaeEun and I love the first done with coloured pencils, and the background is stunning and the colouring of the flowers so pretty. The second with the flowers stamped in the three colours and die cut look great and the way you have masked and given a crisp edge to the bottom and right hand side with the colour fading out and up and with the stamped spatters is the perfect foil to the beautiful flowers and sentiment. x
