Hi Bloggers.
There are a number of background stamps on Thursday's ODW. Today's card features a background that can stand alone as a feature on a card. To have a look at the gorgeous makes on the Justrite Blog, click here.
Here's today's card -
The background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Asian Weave Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Shell Pink Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I stamped the Justrite Rose Postcard Background using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Shell Pink and Raisin Adirondack Dye Ink Pads. I also used Cosmic Shimmer Soft Moss Vintage Ink Spray Mist on the leaves and Cosmic Shimmer Mulberry Mist Ink Spray Mist mixed with a little Angel Gold Sparkle from the Precious Sparkle Pigment Set around the edges of the butterfly wings.
I cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Rectangles and inked through the die with Shell Pink. I cut the next size up in the Grand Rectangles, again inking through the die with Shell Pink.
I stamped the Rose Postcard again and just coloured in the largest flower and the butterfly. I cut them out, shaped them and added them on top of the complete image.
I tied a bow using Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Bronze Button.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Vanilla PVA around the edges.
Another sneak peek tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
