Good morning everyone! A pretty girlie card today which uses the Secret Garden background stamp (I did tell you to expect to see a lot of this stamp, didn't I!) I began by stamping a piece of white card using a clear perfect medium pad and the same stamp as in my focal element. I heat embossed it in white embossing powder for a tone on tone look. Next, I selected a piece of teal card and our flake and glitter glue. I used a piece of cut 'n dry foam to dab the flake and glitter glue all over my Secret Garden stamp. Once coated, I stamped it quickly on to my teal card and set it aside. I cleaned my stamp well by running it under the tap to rinse off the glue (this is a must!) Once the glue stamped image had become tacky (a few minutes minimum) I sprinkled the Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles over it for a bit of bling. I matted it onto a piece of white card and wrapped some white seam binding around it and taped the ends to the back of the card. I added some foam mounting on the back and adhered it in the centre of my white stamped background piece. Next I used several of the Tim Holtz markers(Forest Moss, Broken China, Dusty Concord) direct to the rubber stamp flower from the Floral Thank you set by JustRite stamps. Once covered, I lightly spritzed it with water and stamped it on white card. I cut it out with the Just Rite Vintage Labels Three die and stamped the sentiment in Black Archival Ink over the top of the flower. I cut a Fleur de Lis Square to seat it upon so the decorative edges were peeking out from underneath. I added a messy bow with a teal Dazzler to the centre of it. A final double pierced mat to complete the card. Sweet and simple. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now,

Different again fro you Sue but lovely just the same it sadly does not show the die on my computer very well but I will have a go but C & C sold out of this and the snow etc to order snow on its own costs for p+p is more than the snow itself so I will wait until I can get more at the same time.

ReplyDeleteNot a gift of a card today but a gift of 'a work of art'.
The colour scheme is so beautiful -but of course it's teal/white so how could it fail - but the stamp is wonderful and definitely a must buy for me.
I actually got down and started my C.cards yesterday but still not on track so have to speed up a little. Looks as if it's going to be another hot hot day so crafting here I come.

Dear Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card, love the glittery teal background with the diamond sparkles.
The flower coloured with distress markers is so pretty I love the mix of colour on the petals. I must get some distress markers to use with my stamps.
The bow and bling is such a lovely way to finish the card.
Hope your trip back from the CHA is smooth and you get all your luggage at this end.
Loved your show the other day I watched it back on my iPad to make sure I'd not missed anything the first time!
