Wreath Cards by Andrea Shell | Petals & Wings StampNStencil by Therm O Web

Hello there!  It’s Andrea back with you sharing a fun way to use Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets.  I love Therm O Web’s flock and have used it in many ways – transferred it, die-cut it, stenciled on it – but had never stamped on it and decided to give it a whirl.  For both cards I used the Gina K. Designs Petals & Wings Stamp N Stencil collection.  These images are so pretty and cheerful!

Stamping on White Flock

I played it safe and first stamped the images onto White Latte Flock.  Before stamping, I adhered a piece of flock to white cardstock with the Tape Runner XL.  This step gave some stability to the flock. I stamped the images with my MISTI as I needed to stamp each image multiple times to get a good impression.  I used the coordinating dies to help with placement of layered images, but you could die-cut first and then stamp if you prefer.  I thought the colors stamped true to life on the flock.  I found it was key to use a hybrid ink as dye inks did not transfer well, but feel free to try whatever inks you have.

Stamping on Colored Flock

Therm O Web has so many beautiful colors of flock, I decided to see how the images looked on colored flock.  In order to compare apples to apples, I used the same inks with one exception: The green ink I had did not show up well on the Green Envy Flock.  On the layered images, I sometimes omitted the base layer as it seemed superfluous with the colored flock and I preferred the images without it.  The colors were a bit softer on the colored flock but are still pretty close to their actual shade.

Adding Glitz to Stamped Flock

Of course, I couldn’t leave the images alone: They needed some sparkle, so out came the Glitz Glitter Gel.  I love that the coordinating stencil allows you to add texture so easily to the stamped images!  For the ladybug’s spots, I used black, naturally.  For the other images, I created custom colors with the Iridescent Gel.  To do that, I simply smooshed the ink pad I had stamped with onto my work surface and mixed a small amount of gel into the ink.  A little gel goes a long way, and you can get unlimited colors this way!

Assembling the Cards

To help create my wreath, I traced a circle die onto an A2 panel of white cardstock.  I stamped a sentiment from Petals & Wings with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat-embossed it.  I blended the inside of the circle with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, allowing the color to fade to white in the center.  After placing a mask over the circle, I flicked black paint over the panel.  Once the paint was dry, I adhered my images with Mixed Media Adhesive, starting with a layer of the blue-green foliage over the pencil line.

I continued adhering my images, popping up some with Gina K. Designs Foam Squares.  The squares did not always want to adhere to the flock, so I applied a bit of Mixed Media Adhesive to secure them.

I attached each panel to a white card with Gina K. Designs Terrific Tape.  For a finishing touch, I adhered some clear drops with Mixed Media Adhesive.
