Every Flower

Hi Bloggers.

Black & White today -

It's virutually impossible to see but for the background, I stamped the Justrite Sweet Lace Background several times (properly with an acrylic block) using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer White Detail Embossing Powder.

The sentiment is from the Creative Expressions Garden Sayings Stamp Set and I stamped it with Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Stately Circles die and cut the largest size in the set out of Black Card.

I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Striped Sunkissed Fleur onto Black Card using Perfect Medium ans embossed with the White Detail Powder. I cut them out using the Heartfelt Creations Sunkissed Fleur Die. I used most of the flowers. I shaped them and paired some up and added some White Pearls.


I stamped some leaves from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf and Open Leaf Stamp Sets using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut them out using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more White Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  10. Great card Julia. Do you always do your card from start to finish? Or if you have a design block but need to craft do you pre prepare? Such as a batch of stamped sentiments. Mabex
