Wildflower

Hi Bloggers.

Here's another of my favourite samples from the Spellbinders Pick of the week.


For the background, I ran a piece of Kraftcore through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Ornate Diamonds Embossing Folder. I popped it through a second time to extend the pattern. I then sanded it to reveal the core.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight and inked through the die with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut the next size up in the Labels Twenty-Eight die set again from Milk Card and again inked though the die with Vintage Photo.


I cut 2 square motifs from the Spellbinders Asian Motifs die set out of Black Card. I cut a border from the Spellbinders Asian Accents die set again out of Black Card. I mounted the border on to a strip of Milk Card.

I stamped the wild flower from the Dandelion Wishes Stamp set along a slightly wider strip of Milk Card using Jet Black Archival and edged it with Cut n Dry Foam.


I assembled the background pieces onto a piece of black card and wrapped a piece of Black Silky Crush Ribbon around the bottom section. I pinched it together with a glue dot and then added a bow made from the same ribbon. I added an Idea-ology Fanciful Accoutrement to the centre.


I assembled the card as shown and added some faux stitching around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  11. Morning Julia, I adore this card, the colourway is beautiful and you have combined the dies beautifully. I simply adore the Labels 28 die, it is so elegant and love the Asian dies aswell. I have fallen in love with that stamp, I am going to have to get that one, it's beautiful. I got my POTW on Monday, my Grand dies yesterday and am still waiting for the Pinwheel dies, hopefully I will be able to 'play' today or tomorrow, all this other mundane stuff keeps taking precedent at the moment, like the gardening and I must do some housework (sorry for swearing ha ha !!). There aren't enough hours in the day for me ha ha. Lots of love from Patricia xx

  13. Love thae card, but not keen on Teal colour it is just a colour that I can't get along with at all. The Asian dies loook fab especially the border. So gutted to have missed the shows as I was away and feel I have missed out on loads of excellent demos (but saved money)!! Have a good crafty day everyone
