Hope Your Day Blooms

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows on Create & Craft today at 12noon (with Nigel) and at 5pm (with Genevieve) - hope you can join me.

As promised here's a card made from the Heartfelt Creations Burst of Splendour Collection -

Again, a very simple card - the stamps really do all the work for you (well, there's a bit of cutting out to do, but you know what I mean!).

Simple background on this one - just a piece of Coconut White Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Natures Sentiments Stamp Set in the bottom right corner using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I then san it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Flint Embossing Folder.

I stamped the Dahlia from the Blooming Dahlia Stamp Set 3 times using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut 1 out whole, less on the second and a smaller amount on the last so I could decoupage them up. There are endless possibilities with this as there are so many petals. Of course, cutting out is optional, you could just use a larger Spellbinder die. I coloured all the layers using Milled Lavender Distress Marker.

I stamped some leaves from the Classic Leaf set and the Open Leaf Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I cut them out using the Classic Leaf Die set and coloured all the leaves using Crushed Olive Distress Marker.

I cut a Spellbinders Matting Basics A out of Coconut White Card and at the emboss stage I added the Extra Flint Folder. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles out of Rich Plum Card.

I assembed the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls in the corners and some dots of Vintage Plum Cosmic Shimmer Pearlecent PVA around the edges.

Hope to see you later.

Thanks for stopping by.
