Modern Botanicals

Morning all!

I'm back today with a project featuring the latest addition to the Print Shop family from The Greetery.

As many will know from my past projects, I am a total fan of the Print Shop series of products. I love how easy they are to use to create versatile card designs, with stencils that do most of the heavy lifting, stamps that add the details, and dies that enable you to add dimension.

You can get so many different looks just by mixing up the colours you use.

The new Modern Botanical stamp and stencil set and the matching dies are no different.

I particularly enjoy using Print Shop products on coloured cardstock, so light greys, aqua tones, and of course pale pinks.

For my first outing with the Modern Botanical set, I channelled some whimsical fairytale books from my childhood and went with emerald tones for the leaves and bright shades for the florals.

In addition to the guide included with the stencil and stamp set, I found the video that Betsy created for this set very helpful for the florals to use with the dies. The dies also give you the opportunity to create more colour contrast, as you can use different shades of colour for the corner flowers to make them stand out from the little posies, like I have done here.

I also cut the bell flowers separately and blended purple ink over them with a light hand, and went in with coloured pencils for more details.

You could add more detail to the other flowers with white pen and glossy accent dots too - and of course there's always occasion to add splatter with pearlescent paints or mica sprays.

But with the bright colours I'd used I stopped there, and simply added a bold sentiment as a focal point using the Opposites Attract stamps and matching dies (a die set is also available for the script sentiments in the stamp set, but I've not used it here).

I'm really pleased with how this card turned out - it also reminded me that I should use something other than black ink for my sentiments more often!

Here's to more colourful fun with the Modern Botanical set!

Until next time, happy crafting!
