Kicking Up Leaves

It’s a Flower Soft kinda day!

I used the Kicking Up Leaves Card Topper for my card and added some Autumn Flower Soft. I cut out card topper with a Sizzix Framelit die and sponged the edges with Colorbox Mixed Media (Leather) ink. I gave a little texture to the orange panel by creating 3 lines with my Scor-Buddy.

Orange and Black

Just a reminder about the current Sprinkle challenge (FSC38) to use Flower Soft on your cards that feature orange and black. Halloween's coming up soon!We don't really do Halloween at our house, but I do have lots of cute pumpkin stamps! This one is from Eureka Stamps and it's watercolored with reinkers and Inktense pencils. I grounded the image with some Autumn Flower Soft. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.If you'd like to join in on the Sprinkle challenge, pull out the Flower Soft - you might even win a prize! Post your orange and black project in the Splitcoast Gallery using the keywords flowersoft (one word) and FSC38. We'd love to have you join us!

Fall Shaker

For the Fall challenge I made a shaker card using Flower Soft's Display Globes and Aperture Cards. These display globes are super deep and allow for a lot of dimension inside. I thought this fun image from Eureka Stamps would be even more fun with a shakable pile of leaves, so I filled my globe with Autumn, Marigold, Earth, and Baby Pink Flower Soft, and some small leaf punchies.The Sentiment I used is from Impression Obsession. I stamped the leaves (Biblical Impressions) over the card, which I colored "direct to paper" using chalk inks. Here's a closer look at the shake-y stuff:

Autumn Accents

Flower Soft can add a seasonal touch to any image. For the card below, the bucket was stamped a second time and shaped. It's popped up with foam tape, and I tucked some Autumn Mix Flower Soft in the top. I'll have to try this image later with Polar White snow in the bucket for winter, and flowers in the bucket for Spring! (Spring Mix? Sweet Pea? Heather? Lavender?!)
All stamps are from Impression Obsession... they carry Flower Soft too! I used inkpads to color my background panel using a direct-to-paper technique, and the image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Just a little dab will do wonders!

There are so many really great Flower Soft products to use the Flower Soft with. Great, pre-colored toppers, rubber stamp images and downloadable projects.  Everyone of these make for the perfect project to add touches of Flower Soft too.  BUT...you aren't limited to just those products.  Be on the lookout for every way that Flower Soft can be used to bring an added accent.

My example uses very simple elements on a card. 

First of all, I had punched a border from yellow cardstock.  The scallop punch has an embossed edge to it.  I just ran a line of the Flower Soft Tacky Glue along one of the embossed scallops and then added some Citrus Crush Ultra Fine Flower Soft. 

The little mommy duck with her little ducklings are from a piece of patterned paper by October Afternoon.  I put a little dash of the same Ultra Fine Flower soft on the wings of the two ducklings. 

The card would have been complete without the Flower Soft, but just look at the fun element that it added.  An element that the recipient of the card will be taken with, for sure.

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)

Creating Floral Centers with Flowersoft.

Good Morning! Hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend. Quite often, I use Flowersoft to ground and image, as you can see underneath my flower pot picture. But in addition, I like to use flower soft in the center of flowers!!!





For this project, I added Autumn Flower Soft directly to the coloured image. To add dimension to the flower embellishment. I covered a button, which gave me a nice center to the card!!!

I really like the way the Flower Soft tied in the colours on the card and especially matched the rusty tones in the designer paper!
