Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
Now, the stamping isn't a good as I would have liked on the sentiment but when I tell you that it's actually stamped using Pixie Powder then perhaps you'll understand (it was the best of 4 attempts!). Anyway, this card has all of its elements stamped using Pixie Powders so it's all about the technique.
I started by creating my frame. I sprinkled some CS Aubergine Dream Pixie Powder onto a piece of copy paper. I rubbed the Woodware Splatters Stamp (back in stock) into the powder, misted it with water and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I repeated the process to extend the design. Once dry, I cut out my frame using dies #4 and #6 from Sue Wilson's Classic Adorned Rectangles Die Set. I drew around the #6 die onto Black Card and cut it out using scissors. I used a Craft Knife to cut out the centre and added it to my frame.
I sprinked more Aubergine Dream PP onto my copy paper and rubbed the Woodware Old Letter Stamp (more on order - due in a couple of weeks) in it. I misted with water and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I added my frame using 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess using scissors. I added to a Coconut White Card blank. I popped some 8mm Dazzlers from the Purple Collection into the corners.
More Aubergine Dream PP onto my copy paper. This time I rubbed one of the sentiments from the Woodware Hand Drawn Sentiments into it. I misted with water and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I cut it out using Sue's Double Pierced Rectangles and cut a mat out of Black Card using Sue's Double Pierced Rectangles Set B.

Hello Julia.
ReplyDeleteLovely Card. I like the stamps and dies you have used for this card. The colouring technique sounds good but tricky. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi, vey attractive, love your background techniques. Carol xx
ReplyDeleteDon't stamp very often because a) I'm not ver good and b) I never know which medium to use with what Yo've given me a bit of confidence to have another go - even the best need a few attempts! And another medium to try
ReplyDeleteFabulous card
Hi Julia, This card is lovely !! I love the colours, the splatter frame looks fabulous, and that (favourite of mine) Old Letter stamp in the background looks fabulous, the black mats make the colours 'pop'. Really lovely.
