Remember

Hi Bloggers.

Day 1 of Ally Pally. Don't forget to come and say hello if you're attending. Tracey is running Make & Takes this time - first time we've done this so it's sure to be busy!

John Lockwood is launching some new stamps this weekend and here's a sample I've made from one of his new sets and a gorgeous new Spellbinders Die Set -

I stamped the sentiment and the frame from John's Rosebud Elements Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I coloured in the roses with Scarlet Flame Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Ink from the Autumn Shades Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I used the Out of the Box Technique (will hopefully demo that on the Craft Clinic on Monday) and cut out using one of the dies im the Spellbinders Imperial Square Die Set. I inked through the die with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

I cut the largest die in the set out of Rich Red Card. At the emboss stage, I added the die I used for the frame to give me a faux piercing look.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics Die Set out of Coconut White Card and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Bed of Roses Embossing Folder. I added Aged Mahogany Distress Ink to the very edges.

 Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
