I hope you enjoyed all my card making tips, ink blending suggestions and color combos during my live video yesterday. I am so excited about all the great color combos for Coneflowers and I just couldn’t stop making them!!

I’m also really excited to share how I ink blended on the Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Designs paper for the backgrounds. It’s just a perfect touch!

I’ve included the replay of my weekly Friday live video at the bottom of this post for you!

Tips & Secrets for my Coneflowers

  1. Die cut lots of colors of flowers to play with
  2. Use the Two Tone cardstock for die cutting the flowers, leaves & stems (see this tip in action in the video)
  3. Use a blending brush and ink to add yet more depth and color
  4. Layer several die cut pieces for each flower for tons of dimension
  5. Curl the petals with the bone folder for even more dimension!

You have so many options when creating the coneflower. 1 layer, 2 layers, extra die cut layers.. the most I used was 4 layers.. each one is gorgeous!

There is no right or wrong way to make the flowers, but I found 3 layers was my favorite. Stamping the flower center on the top layer in Pecan Pie was also a favorite tip.

Another secret for creating these cards is ink blending on the Irresistible Designs Specialty paper. This paper is 12×12 and includes 3 designs in one pack. I cut a whole pack to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and used them for the backgrounds of my Coneflower cards.

I did an online search to see what colors coneflowers are in nature… pretty much any color you can think of can be found in nature, so I just played with all the colors I love!
