So Delighted/Sneak Peek

Hi crafters!  I am delighted to be showing some of the new cards that I created while I have been away!  This weeks cards will all be sneak peeks from the samples I've made for the Sunday Tool Shed and 5pm shows.  This first one uses a new stamp set by Samantha Walker called Dainty Doilies and her matching die set called Delicate Doilies.  Isn't it beautiful!  I have used a few other bits from some of the other sets that will be available too.  I started with the very back layer of my background and used one of the stamps from the Lace Vintage Labels Three and a black archival ink pad and stamped it all around the edge for an interesting pattern.  For the next layer,  I selected a piece of our new mauve card (I still say it looks more lavender though) and I used the same stamp again from the Justrite Vintage Lace Labels three set and stamped the background all over using a clear Perfect Medium pad as a watermark.  The sentiment I picked is from the new Mix and Match Sentiments set by Justrite designed by Becca Feeken.  I love the way she has done the phrases so that you can have it say so many things.  There is such a lovely variety of phrases that can easily be mixed and matched and put into any configuration to fit your own personal needs.  I simply stamped it in Black Archival ink along the bottom of my card. I matted it with a thin black mat and adhered it to my larger background.  On milk coloured card, I stamped the Samantha Walker Dainty Doily stamps in black archival ink.  I cut them out with the matching dies and inked them with Eggplant Adirondack ink while still in the die.  I stacked them using mounting foam in between the layers for dimension and mounted it in the middle of my card above my sentiment.  Using our new Vintage coloured felt, I cut a flower from Spiral Flower Four.  I tied a messy bow from chalk coloured seam binding and added a twine bow beneath it for texture.  I seated my flower in the centre of my bow and added a flatback pearl to the centre.  I finished the card with a double milk mat with a pierced inner mat and some pearls to the corners.  I do hope you like it!  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
