Good Sunday Morning all! Another sneak peek for today's shows, but before I launch into the rundown, I do need to point out that I had the time incorrectly listed for my second show. I am going to be on today at 12 to 2pm (Tool Shed) and from 7 to 8pm (not the 5 to 6pm that I originally listed on the side of my blog). Today's card showcases one of the background stamps that I just adore called
Floral Harvest by Justrite stamps. I have done at least a half of dozen samples with it and they all look very different. It works well with a variety of crafty products, making it a very versatile stamp indeed. Probably in it's simplest form here, I have just stamped it onto
milk coloured card using a
black archival ink pad. I coloured the image with
Tim Holtz distress markers using the
forest moss, worn lipstick, dried marigold, antique linen, tea dye and shabby shutters. I cut the centre of the image out using a
rectangle die shape. I stamped the image again and cut out both the braided frame area in the middle of the design and the banner area at the bottom by hand. I stamped a sentiment in the banner and then mounted both pieces on foam and placed them over the original stamped image for dimension. I stamped the image one more time in black and added a sentiment from the
Grand Birthday Sentiments by Justrite. I glued it underneath my original so it showed through my aperture and lined up with the flowers, giving a 3D look. I matted it on
blush card, then finished with a double mat done in
milk coloured card with a pierced inner layer. Finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size.
