Here's today's card -
I cut a piece of Black Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares Set B. I then cut the Couture Creations Vierge Square out of it and put aside.
I cut the Vierge Square again out of Coconut White Card. I used this as a mask and inked through it onto another piece of Coconut White Card (mask off the centre with low tack tape or a post it first!). I pounced through the die cut with Jade Forest, Plum Cobbler and Scarlet Woman Colour Clouds using Smoothies. I used this as my background. The mask can be used again or used as it is on another project.
I added my Black Vierge Square Die Cut to my background, offsetting it slightly so that the a bit of the white card, that wasn't inked due to the mask, can be seen causing a shadow effect.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Couture Creations Scrolled Tomentosa Die Set and inked through the die with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud. I cut the other 2 dies in the Scrolled Tomentosa Set out of Black Card.
I coloured a piece of Blue White American Seam Binding with the same 3 Colour Clouds that I used on the background and tied a bow using 3 lengths of it. I made a flower out of Coconut White Card using the Couture Creations Falling Blossoms Die, inking the tips of the petals with Plum Cobbler and adding an 8mm Black Pearl to the centre.
I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Morning Julia, a lovely card today, I like the effect that you have done with the colour cloud and then off setting the black card so show just the hint of the white behind it, looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI got my order yesterday of the Craft Consortium 12"x12" - English Garden and the Wild Rose paper pads - wow Julia what stunning beautiful papers these are and such good quality, I am so pleased that I ordered them and also got a stunningly beautiful gift card from you as well, which I will treasure thank you.

A really lovely card, I like the idea of using a stamped piece as a mask. Despite my general dislike of bows, your matching bow is perfect for this card.
