Warm & Cozy Fireplace

Hi Bloggers,

Today I have another card to share using the Tatty Button Fireplace stamp from Creative Expressions.


I stamped the image using jet Black Archival ink and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks plus the Pearl Shine from the Metallics set. I cut the image out using the largest of the Spellbinders Fleur de Lys Squares dies.

I stamped the poinsettia stamp from the Tatty Button Poinsettias set in Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I did this 3 times. I coloured the poinsettias in with Marigold Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Ink and coloured the centres with Ancient Copper Cosmic Shimmer Mica Drawing Ink. I cut them out and went round the edges with a black promarker.

I stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using an oval nestie. I inked around the edge with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I also pierced around the embossed line. I added some Tropic Wine Vintage Ribbon securing with some copper brads.

The backing papers are from My Mind's Eye. I pierced around the edge of the brown card with my Tim Holtz Ruler and my pricking tool before mounting on to ivory card.

Hope you like the card.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges -
