Pods and Dried Plants
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: jkanack

 For Sabrina's TLC today; I'm not sure I've ever done this before. I used a lot of different inks to stamp the pods and also to sponge the diecut pods. This card makes me think of an old friend who introduced me to picking dried flowers in the fall and arranging them. We took a class together and she ended up becoming a florist. Our husbands called the class 'the dead flower class.' Haha, very funny. I have always loved dried flowers.
This is also for Sunday's FS. Super gallery, Brandy! This is what inspired me: Enjoy the White by brandyann9 at Splitcoaststampers
Enjoy your week, Brandy and thanks for the challenges.
PS I meant to submit this for one of the VSN challenges. I used all three metallic LP or Nuvo Drops (didn't have bronze, used copper).

Love this and your story brought back memories of my mothers collection of pods that she used in floral arrangements. She was in a garden club that had design competitions and I have not thought about that in decades - so thanks!

You went closer to the pressed flower tutorial with the stamping as well as embossing. I like the depth that creates. Had to laugh at the "dead flowers class". Some seedheads are lovely.

The mix of stamped and die cut pods gives this such rich texture, and the embedded embossing adds a beautiful sense of depth. Your inking brings out the natural warmth of dried botanicals, and the metallic drops are placed with such a light, intentional touch. The story behind it makes the design even more meaningful, and the inspiration piece comes through in a way that still feels entirely your own.
