Here's today's card, showcasing my new favourite technique on the flowers.
Shopping List
7x7 card blank
White card stock
Phill Martin's decedent jade gilding wax
Phill Martin's decedent Jade colour cloud
Phill Martin's decedent Jade mica powder
Phill Martin's decedent Jade pva glue
Phill Martin's decedent Jade twinkles
Phill Martin's scribbled stamps- scribbled frame sentiments
Creative expressions embossing folder - quilted flower
Sue Wilson's dies- Auvergne
Sue Wilson's dies- complete daisies
Sue Wilson's dies - petite vinery
Twinkles- star dust
To start I cut a piece of card 1/2 cm smaller than the card blank and edged it with the gilding wax, using small circular movements. I then took another piece of card, embossed it with the embossing folder and cut it to 1/2 cm smaller than the previous layer, before sticking these layers to the card I gently edged the embossed layer with the colour cloud and a smoothie.
For the centrepiece I cut the Auvergne die in 3 sections, the largest for the background, which I coloured with the colour cloud before removing the die. Next I cut the middle layer and finally the small topper for the sentiment, which I also coloured before removing the die. I then stamped the sentiment using the black soot distress ink. These were all layered together using foam pads and stuck to the middle of the card.
For the flowers I cut several of the complete daisies in different sizes, then to colour the centres I mixed a little mica power with a couple of drops of water on my mat and using a brush, painted soft strokes from the middle of the flowers towards the edge of the petals. I allowed this to dry then layered the flowers together and added them to the card with petite vinery dies.
To finish I added some twinkles to the centre of the flowers, some pva glue dots to the two opposite corners and some stickles around the sentiment.
Thanks for popping by.
Happy Crafting
