One of my favourite flowers is the delphinium and they are starting to bloom now. What I love about them are the tall spire shape of the flowers and all the lovely shades of blue, mauve, and purple that they come in. I made a card using a combination of a delphinium die and stencil.
I stamped my sentiment on a piece of cs and then die cut it with the stitched rectangle and the Delphinium Circle dies.
I created a background for the opening with two different blue sprays. When I laid the die cut piece over it, it needed something more on the background so I took the Delphinium stencil and lightly sponged the flowers with Distress inks over the spray. You can see how they fill in that centre gap in the die cut.
I then took the same colours of Distress inks and coloured the delphiniums of the die cut, making sure they came out more strongly coloured. I went over just those ones with Wink of Stella.
The panel is popped up on a very thin layer of fun foam and the die cut delphiniums with thin foam tape.
