Bella Flora Border Stamp Layout Take 2

Hi everyone!  I’m here to showcase the beautiful Bella Flora border stamps again this week.  When I created these 12×12 backgrounds, I did 2 at a time to try out the different stamp combos.  Last week was a more elegant layout.  This week features rainbows colors.  Both are beautiful in their own way!

To start, I used my stamp platform to stamp around the outside of a 12×12 piece of white cardstock.  I use Sweet Tooth cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse because it’s smooth and takes ink really well.  I used black Stazon Ink and just repeated the pattern of stamping on each side of the cardstock.  Then I used my cheap watercolors from Michaels to color in the flowers.  I love how it brought out the flowers!

While painting, I dropped my brush in the middle of the page (horror).  So I had to come up with a way to cover the pink smear up.  I used some Color Fresh paper from Heidi Swapp and created a rainbow border.  I then used more of the white cardstock to build the rest of my layout on.  The inside square is cut to 8×8.  I used some more of the border stamps and grey ink to create some more florals.  In the corners, I angled one of the stamps to only get the floral part of the stamp.  I then watercolored these as well.

To finish it off, I added a doily and a pre-made title from Dear Lizzy.  I felt that it was still missing something so I added some Lynnea Rainbow flat back gems around the page.  That really did the trick!

I created a process video for this layout and uploaded it to YouTube if you are interested in a more step-by-step walk through of the layout.  Don’t forget you can use my code DAISIE10 for 10% off your next purchase!  If this is your first time shopping at Ink Road, click this LINK for a special one time discount!
