Hello, hello!! Do you like flowers? Do you like samplers? If you answered yes to these questions, boy oh boy, do I ever have a project to share with you today! I love flowers! I love the bright colors and the sweet smells! I love all the different sizes and shapes they come in! I love that they attract butterflies! I also happen to love samplers (LOL) and so I figured why not combine the two for a whole garden's worth of a project! Bonus note...these are guaranteed not to wilt or droop or lose their happy colors! No watering required either! Win, win, win!! Here is my flower-y garden sampler:
I started with a base layer of Mint Macaron and my other layers are Blushing Bride, Sea Foam Green and Very Vanilla. I used flowers from several different stamp sets (all listed below!). Some of them I fussy cut, some I punched using their coordinating punches and some I stamped directly onto the paper!
This beautiful flower is from the Painted Harvest stamp set. It is a 2 step stamp set. I used Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride for the flower and Crumb Cake for the center. I stamped the leaves on the Very Vanilla and layered the flower on top.
These are from the limited time only stamp set called Blended Seasons (ask me about it for details!). I stamped them and colored them in with the SU! Watercolor pencils. I fussy cut them and adhered them on top of some light background stamping.
These flowers are from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. I stamped them and fussy cut them. I stamped the sentiment on the Very Vanilla layer and added the flowers on top.
This flower is from The Daisy Delight stamp set and punched out using the Daisy punch. I ran the top portion through the Basket Weave Embossing folder, but left the bottom plain for the sentiment. I added another flower from Beautiful Bouquet on top and a 1/2" circle punch on top of that! I love layers! The circle punch was also run through the BasketWeave folder. That sweet bee is from the Hostess set called Very Vintage. You can earn that by hosting a party or placing a qualifying order. Ask me about it for details!
These flowers are also from the Very Vintage set! The sentiment is stamped in Mint Macaron and layered on punches.
These fun flowers and the sentiment are from the Abstract Impressions stamp set. This is one of my all time favorite stamp sets!!
These beauties are from the Petal Palette stamp set and colored in with the Stampin' Blends markers! Those things are awesome!! They are alcohol based and allow you to color like the pros!
This little stamp is also from Petal Palette. It is really a beautiful set! I used the markers to color this one in too.
Here is the whole sampler pre-frame. I will include the measurements below for the largest layers of each panel. To get the smaller layers, simply subtract 1/4" from each side and repeat:
Frame size 8" x 10"
Row #1 (across):
2 1/2" x 3 3/8", 2 1/8" x 2", 2" x 3"
Row #2 (across):
3 1/4" x 4 1/2", 3 7/8" x 3 1/8", 1 1/2" x 3"
Row #3 (across):
1 3/4" x 3 1/4", 1 3/4" x 2"
