Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

Sue's bow stamps to match her Classic 3D Bow die set are now in stock in my Amazon Store. There are 2 designs - you can see them here.

As promised here's a Sneak Peek from tomorrow's shows (sorry seem to be sharing blue cards at the moment!) -

So, the theme for this set of shows is vases and flowers. There are 4 sets of flowers. In each Single pack there is a small bunch of flowers and a single flower. There are 4 vases, each has a sentiment with it. There is a large bundle in this show which contains all 8 Singles. I will stock them in my Amazon Store, hopefully by the end of next week.

I'll start with the image first for a change. I started by stamping the Scrollwork Vase using Perfect Medium and embossed with new Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue Embossing Powder. I cut it out and then coloured in using Tropic Blue Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set.

 I stamped the Daisy Spray using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I placed the vase below the daisies to establish which die I felt best fit. I decided on Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25. I secured the die in place with removable table, removed the vase and cut & embossed. I inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I coloured in the Daisy Spray using Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean Distress Markers, pulling the colour out using a Tim Holtz Water Brush. I added a little Cosmic Shimmer Aqua Twinkles to the centre of the daisies.

I glued the vase below the daisies with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Crystal Swirl Vase, using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

Now for the background. I started by randomly inking through the Openwork Mask with Faded Jeans. I repeated the process with the Rosette Mask and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. With the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped the single daisy using Faded Jeans. Again with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the Justrite Lace Oval Frame Background using Faded Jeans. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Faded Jeans. I wrapped some Blue Satin Edged Organza around the centre.

I tied a bow using the Blue Satin Edged Organza and added a White Crystal Sparkler (coming soon!).

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
