I used the Stampin’ Up! Rose Wonder stamp set to create my card for the monthly Totally Techniques blog hop. This month we’re focusing on the floating reinker technique.
Here is my card:
My card design was inspired by The Paper Players #292.
The colors for my card were inspired by Can You Case It #117.
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Another Thank You photopolymer stamp set (retiring) in Basic Black Archival ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I embossed the panel with the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder (used with the logo facing down), then adhered it to a panel of Basic Black card stock with SNAIL.
I adhered three panels from the Timeless Elegance DSP (retiring) to panels of Basic Black card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Black card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the image from the Rose Wonder stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Shimmery White card stock. I sprinkled the image with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (available June 1) and heat embossed it. I spritzed the entire panel with water, then used drops of ink from my Peekaboo Peach (available June 1) and Cucumber Crush ink refills and my Aqua Painter to float the ink over the image.
I let the image dry completely, then snipped it out. I adhered the rose image with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and I tucked the leaf images under the rose and adhered them with SNAIL.
I adhered a strip from the Timeless Elegance DSP to a panel of Very Vanilla card stock inside the card.

Stampin’ Up! items used to create this project:
Amy it turned out beautifully and the peach really just pops with the black behind it.
Thanks Sandi! 🙂
Oh my goodness, this is so gorgeous!! I love the copper embossing powder! I can’t wait to get to use it and see it up close 🙂 Your card is perfect for sympathy, or classy Mother’s Day, all types…awesome CASE 😉
Thanks Jill! The Copper Embossing Powder is beautiful, I know that I’ll be using it on everything! 🙂
Amy this is gorgeous! I love the contrast between the dark shades in the DSP and the beautiful subtle colour of the rose.
Thanks so much Shannean! 🙂
That is one gorgeous flower! You make that technique sound so simple!
Thanks Linda, it actually is really simple! Just wet the paper and add some ink! 🙂
Such lovely colors and your rose is so pretty. I cannot wait to try the copper EP. I still have plenty of Peach Parfait supplies from a few years ago. I’m hoping the colors are similar. Fabulous card, Amy!
Thanks Melanie! The new peach is a bit brighter, I don’t have any Peach Parfait supplies so I can’t compare the two, but I bet that they’ll coordinate. 🙂
Love the Copper embossing powder with the colours you choose – lucky you to have a sneak peek of this awesome product! Just a beautiful card this month.
Thanks Alison!
Oh Amy,
