Hello my crafty friends! I have really wanted to share this card with you, but not until the first video went live. Since that was last week, I thought you might want to see another card that uses the same flower technique, but with a deeper rust coloured ribbon. Isn't it gorgeous! This is one of the new satin ribbons that Creative Expressions is carrying (Sam Poole has it in stock I know if you are looking). To begin, I stamped the Dotted Fronds background by Justrite. To do this, I dabbed the flake and glitter glue on it using a piece of cut 'n dry foam. I stamped it quickly onto black card and set the card aside. I cleaned my stamp thoroughly first to remove any of the remaining glue residue. I used the Red Blaze gilding flakes and covered my stamped image. I use a piece of Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes over the image, then I refine it by rubbing lightly in a circular motion. This removes any excess flake so that the detail can be clearly seen. I used the Grand Rectangles to cut a frame and then added in an additional die during the embossing phase for some added detail to it. I mounted the frame on foam over my background. I cut the rust satin ribbon down the centre and made two flowers following the technique on the October 22nd post video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu4JS2HlCb4 They look like rich autumn Chrysanthemums, don't they? I finished my flowers with some black tulle and a Bella Rose swirl cut from black card. I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in gold, cut it into a strip and matted it with black. I cut the ends into a fork and mounted the end under my flowers then across the card, ending on top of the frame. I finished the card with a double white mat with my signature piercing. Finished dimensions are 6" x 8" in size. Another video for you tomorrow! All for now, Sue x
gorgeous card and the flowers are to die for, just lovely.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the flowers are amazing I will be going to Sam Poole for the ribbon. I'm lucky enough to have the stamp for the background, so will give this card a go. :-)
Luckily we tied everything down in the garden yesterday. I sat up until the storm started at about 1.30am doing my daughters wedding invites. After about 20 minutes we lost our electric, and it has only just come on now, I'm cold and was terribly bored not being able to go on line or watch TV, but did enjoy making tea on a camping stove. Happy days. Hope you are all well and weathered the storm.
Kind regards :-)
