Three flowers card

anniversary card, card

I made the paper for the flowers using Glitz Spritz and lime green spray paint, then I stamped and cut out the flowers. Tiny micro beads add a little texture and glaze really makes the flowers stand out. The leaves are just punched from black card. The background paper is a very silky soft Chinese paper that I have wrapped around white card then layered it with some black card. The edge is stamped and coloured with H2Os.

Inks: Versafine onyx black, Glitz Spritz Desert moon antique rose, lime green spray, H2Os to colour
Card: white card, black card, Chinese silk paper (?),
Stamps: Hero arts four dolls (border), Free flower stamp from Craft stamper magazine
Other: micro beads, glaze, small leaf punch

Summer on the open road card

Over on CBC forum Carolineanne has set a challenge to make a greetings card depicting summer. Here is my entry for the challenge. I was going to do a seaside theme but I thought about doing something different – day trippers out for a drive on a nice summer day. Now I know it is at a jaunty and I thought it would look nice sitting on pink tissue paper but I couldn’t get that to lay flat. I stamped the image twice and decoupaged the car.

Inks: Black document, Stampin up Taken with teal, Brilliance graphite black, Memento London fog, copic pens to colour and black gelly glaze pen for tyres
Card: white card, teal card
Stamps: Paper nation vintage chic, The artistic stamper The open road set, Basic Grey flourish corners
Other: blooms, gems, ribbon, rub-on letters (summer), Making memories page pebbles (head lights)

I went for the monochrome look this week for the ukstampers challenge – C for child.
The image is from Karen’s Whimsy and the only stamping this week is on the large blossom – black dots. The background was made using a PVC doily and stippling some black soot distress ink through it. The ‘C’ is grunge board coloured black and the words are rub-ons. Some areas and dots are highlighted with black glitter pen.

Inks: Distress ink black soot, black document ink
Card: black card, white card
Stamps: Stampin up polka dot background
Other: Grunge board letter, daisy trim, Stampin up blossoms, black button, black eyelet, glitter pen, black pen
