I'm Here For You
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of white card. I used the stamp from the Sending Sunshine stamp set and stamped it all the way around the edge of the card in black ink. Next I inked the edges with Picked Raspberry Distress ink. Next I went over the same area with the same stamp, but I used Clear Perfect Medium ink this time, then embossed it with gold embossing powder. I cut the Hazel die with a piece of Antique Gold card on top of a piece of white card. I used the white card to colour the image and then I glued the gold die cut on top. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Sunshine set in black and used the inner over to cut it out. I lightly inked it with Picked Raspberry ink while it was still in the die. I added it to the die then attached the die to the middle of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow when you see the close ups of the sample you can appreciate how beautiful this is, the embossed gold really does make it glisten, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy,, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. You have chosen such pretty colours for your cards over the last few days and I love how you have made the background. Yet another technique to add to our crafty arsenal.
