A project from our live show MY PODCAST - Catch my latest updates broadcast 29th December 2025 · 29/12/2025
Create an elegant card featuring a stamped lady figure adorned with a beautiful three-dimensional floral dress. The design combines delicate line work with soft watercolour tones in pink and purple, enhanced with sparkly embellishments and layered petals for a sophisticated, artistic finish. This project uses stamping, watercolouring, and dimensional flower layering techniques to achieve a refined and feminine result.
1Cut a black card base. Cut a piece of black cardstock to create a matted layer for the card front.
2Stamp the lady outline image onto your white card panel using black ink, positioning her towards the upper portion of the design. Ensure the image is clear and well-defined before lifting the stamp.
3Apply teal and purple ink pads to the dress area of the stamped lady using a sponging or blending technique. Build up the colour gradually to create a watercolour effect on the dress. Lightly spray the inked dress area with water to blend and soften the colour transitions between the black and white ink.
4Add purple ink speckles around the dress area using a brush to create an artistic splatter effect. Allow the speckles to extend beyond the dress outline for a creative, artistic look.
5Stamp a sentiment such as 'the world is your runway' underneath the lady's dress using black ink. Position the sentiment stamp below the dress illustration and press firmly to create a clear impression.
6Die-cut the small floral flower pieces from coloured cardstock using the hellebore die set. Ensure all the petals and centres are cut cleanly and separate the individual pieces.
7Layer and glue the flower petals together to create a three-dimensional effect. Build up the layers to add dimension to your floral embellishment.
8Attach a pink gem to the centre of the white and pink flower for added sparkle and focal interest.
9Position the completed purple flower onto the card front, placing it so it appears to be held by or emerging from the stamped lady figure. Fold the flower slightly to add dimension, then glue it securely in place.
10Add small foliage sprigs around the flower arrangement to create a natural, flowing composition. Position the greenery to complement the hellebore and complete the floral design on the dress.
11Add sparkle to the dress area by applying glitter or sparkly embellishments to enhance the floaty, ethereal quality of the design.
