Floral Typewriter Greeting Cards

 Hello crafty friends. Today's post features some really fun typewriter greeting cards with floral accents. I used Spellbinders clear stamp of the month with an accompanying die set for February 2022.

Love this cute design!

I began by using my Misti stamp tool to lay down these images with some black versa fine ink. I love using the Misti because it ensures you get a usable stamped image. If you don't have one of these in your craft room yet I certainly think it's worth the investment. Next, I heat embossed my stamped images with Wow clear embossing powder. 

A card I'd love to recieve. 

Coloring in my stamped images was a lot of fun. I used a combination of alcohol ink markers, Tombow brush markers, and colored pencils. Because my images were embossed the clear layer allowed me to use any medium I wanted without fear of smearing the ink. I even used some watercolor on the typewriters simply because I love the way watercolor looks! I wanted to achieve some highlights on the typewriters so a fair amount of experimentation went into how I could do that. It's safe to say these images are mixed media. 

After coloring in my images I used the accompanying die set to cut them out. I composed my images on a white panel after running them through the Spellbinders embossing folder of the month for February 2022. I glued everything in place, added some sequins, and mounted it all to an A2 card. I also experimented with a patterned paper background but much prefer the look of the white embossed background. What do you think? 

Testing out the design with patterned paper.
