You mean the world to me

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Spellbinders Ornamental Iron M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I wrapped a piece of Craft Consortium Floral Notes Lace Ribbon around.

I added some Purple Twilight Alcohol Ink to some Felt on an Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool and dragged it over a strip of White Gloss Card. I cut the Spellbinders Renaissance Border Two from it and added the border to the lace ribbon.

I stamped the Spellbinders Flower Bouquet onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I coloured in using Distress Markers - I used Wilted Violet, Fossilized Amber, Milled Lavender, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint. I used a Water Brush to drag the colour out. I cut it out using the matching die in the set.

I cut a frame by using dies #3 and #4 from the Spellbinders Renaissance Vine Die Set. Instead of inking through the die, I drew around the inside edge of the larger die using the fine tip of the Wilted Violet Distress Marker.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Chrysantemums Stamp set using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using a small die from the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Tags and drew around the inside of the die as before.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Craft Consortium Pearl Hearts and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

  18. Never thought about using alcohol inks to colour card and then die cut. It is so effective.
