Over the weekend I inked up the Fancy Phrases set and I am over the moon with how fabulous it stamps! Once again Stampin' Up! has a winner on their hands - I mean...just look at the details in the roses, making shading a breeze!!
My base & layer are both Whisper White Thick. If you've noticed I've been using this thick paper more and more, it's because of how beautifully it takes to colour and it's sturdy!
I inked up the large floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and settled in for some Stampin' Blend colouring! Let's start with the leaves - I laid down a wee bit of Mango Melody to part of the leaves, then followed up with Granny Apple Green. For the flowers, I first used Poppy Parade, then Mango Melody and So Saffron, then Cherry Cobbler. When you watch my video, you'll see I then went back over some of the flowers with all but Cherry Cobbler. I love the result! The main flowers almost look 3D.

Once I finished the colouring, I heat embossed the sentiment using White Stampin' Emboss Powder onto Basic Black cardstock. In my video (below) I showed how to trim the paper close to the sentiment.
Have you seen our Square Vellum Doilies in the new Annual Catalogue? You can colour them if you wish, use them whole, or cut them as I did. I think it adds a lovely subtle elegance to the card. Before popping up the entire layer on Dimensionals, I added Whisper White Faux Linen Ribbon, which you'll find in the catalogue under Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, page 161.
