Yellow Floral Tag

Hi friends! I hope you are well and had a good weekend! Today I have a tag to share with lots and lots of sunny yellow.

This week we have a Monochrome theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Monochrome is a lot of fun! Don't miss the lovely project by our June guest designer Wanda Hentges.

I was inspired by the sun and used shades of yellow as my color, with just a little bit of brown. An almost entirely yellow project is always joyful. The background is both dry and heat embossed and I created dimensional flowers from different papers and shades of yellow. 

Start by dry embossing a tag in Tim Holtz new Vault Flourish ML folder. ML stands for multi-level. I applied embossing ink to some of the embossed parts and sprinkled with white embossing powder. The goal is not a perfect look, but a messy, shabby chic look. 

Ink the tag with Distress Ink. The white embossing will resist the ink.

Smear Mustard Seed Distress Oxide on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the tag lightly into the ink.

Die cut flowers using Simon Says Stamp Rustic Layering Flower and Morning Blossom. I used inky or watercolored paper in various shades of yellow, as well as Simon Says Stamp Ice Vellum.

I also die cut some Simon Says Stamp Poised Primula flowers, from left-over inky paper and from Simon Says Stamp Color-Blend paper. The Color-Blend paper is glossy.

Shape the flowers with Tim Holtz Shaping Kit.

Assemble the flowers and shape the small flowers too.

I wasn't careful at all when applying the embossing ink, since this is the look I was aiming for. 

The sentiments were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Create set and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Sunbeam Gems to the small flower centers and Prism Gems to the larger flowers.

The Ice Vellum has a really cool sparkly look. 

I glued cheese cloth under the flowers.

The Poised Primula flowers are so cute and such a great size. 

Here, you can better see that the yellow small flowers are glossy. Mixing different surfaces adds interest.
