Get Well - a sneak peak of a new DSP Jan Mini - Try Stampin on Tuesday #487

 For the sketch challenge #487 at Try Stampin on Tuesday I decided to use one of the new  DSP’s, the Black and White "True Love" DSP.

Although the colours in this DSP is Black and White, I discovered that colour could be added by using a Brayer/Brushes, or by using Stampin' Blends.

In addition, the centers of the flowers were embossed with Clear Embossing Powder using a Versa Mark pen.

Using the new Blending Brushes (available in the new Mini Catalogue - January 2021) Gorgeous Grape was applied to the flowers, Mossy Meadow to the leaves, and Balmy Blue to fill in the white spaces. It did not matter that the colours went over the image lines as this gave the paper more of an artistic feeling. Then, using a Versa Mark pen, the centers of the flowers were embossed with the Clear Embossing powder.

An extra cluster of flowers were coloured for embellishments.

In the center a 1" strip of Whisper White card stock, embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder was added. On both of the long sides of this was added a strip die cuts using the Ornate Border Dies. Against the colourful back ground, the Whisper white strip appeared 'starkly' white, so the whiteness was toned down a bit by lightly brushing some left over Balmy Blue ink over the strip.

The sentiment was Black embossed on a strip of Whisper White card stock notched at both ends.  Behind this strip is a 1/4" of Rich Razzelberry (retired) plush ribbon notched on both ends as well.  Behind this was added some Basic Black card stock so the ribbon did not blend in with the back ground colours.   This was added to the lower card using dimensionals.  

A row of Noble Peacock rehinestones was added below the sentiment, and a cluster of fussy cut flowers and leaves were added above the sentiment.
