Tropical Vibes with the Hibiscus Cluster

 

Today I am participating in the Sharing Summer Instagram Hop.   This week’s color challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to play with the gorgeous new Hibiscus Cluster Die & Stencil set from Waffle Flower’s Sneak Peek Club. I absolutely loved how this project came together—from the ink blending to the sparkly finishing touches!

Creating the Card

To start, I used the layering stencils to create the beautiful hibiscus blooms. I chose a tropical-inspired ink palette and had so much fun blending the colors to give the flowers a soft, vibrant look. 

 I used the following Altenew inks to blend each stencil layer:

• Layer 1: Pinkalicious and Coral Red
• Layer 2: Razzleberry and Pinkalicious
• Layer 3: Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades
• Layer 3: Snapdragon, Citrus Burst, and Evergreen

For the background, I did more ink blending shades of blue, then added a little mixed-media flair with gold and black ink splatters. The contrast gave the piece a bold, artistic feel that I really love. Of course, no tropical flower card is complete without a touch of bling—so I added a few gold embellishments to finish it off.

Final Thoughts

I’m really happy with how this card turned out! The layered hibiscus is a statement piece all on its own, and it works beautifully for summer-themed cards or just when you want to send a little sunshine through the mail.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this card brings a little sunshine to your day and inspires you to create something today!

Happy stamping,
Lisa 💛
