Flowers in a vase

 

VASE OF FLOWERS

 

Paper clay and stamping on today's card. I used a vase mould from Katy Sue Designs and Martha Stewart Clay to make the vase and when dry used a Promarker to highlight. Stamped a foliage stamp for the background from Designs by Ryn and then a poppy stamp from Lavinia which I stamped and cut out Arranged in the vase and stuck with silicone to lift the flowers for dimension. Butterfly was a free stamp and sentiment stamp from my stash. Card base made from card at Paper Mill Direct.

Sister Card

 

 

Thought I would play with dies for this card.

7" square card with Centura Pearl coloured topper size  6 and "3/4". Heartfelt Creations Corner die 2 piece set. positioned on white card cut slightly smaller than coloured card. I used Sheena Douglass stamps to heat emboss stamping on the card and on parchment/vellum. Highlighted flowers with a white pen to make them "pop" a bit Cut flowers out and arranged. Added silver embellishments, a few pearls and a tag.

Wedding Card

 

 

Cas Card for a

Wedding/ Special Occasion Card

A simple card on white linen from Paper Mill Direct which you can adapt to many occasions by the wording on the pennants. Firstly score a panel on the Hougie. Cut pennants - mine is a set from Sizzix. and punch a small hole ( Martha Stewart screw hole punch) in each. Die cut lettering - mine is a die free from Tattered Lace magazine and was just the right size. Threaded a silver chain - your choice could be ribbon, thread etc. After the photo was taken I decided to add a small silver plated flower to  the ends of the chain. Glued alternate pennants on to allow movement. Embellishments of your choice to finish. Mine were from a selection by J and C Creations Maidstone.

PENNY BLACK STAMP AND DISTRESS INKS

Morning all on this sunny day 

 

 

I used Distress inks and roughly divided the card into 4. Stamped background texture stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps and did some swirlys with Cosmic Shimmer pearls and highlighted some with a white pen. Meanwhile stamped a Penny Black flower and cut out. When card base was dry added the flower to finish and lined with a black fine liner as seen

Chocolate Baroque Stamps

Stamping, heat embossing and metallic crayons......

Flourish is in the CB Poppy Stamp set so I used it against brown card for background for a change The Coral embossing powder changed to a lovely purple against the brown which I quite liked. Used a green for the poppy image and then coloured in with metallic crayons.    Highlighted with a white pen and pricked random holes and outlined in white. Matt and layering with faux stitch to finish.

Penny Black Stamp

 

Black andWhite

 

 

A really quick card in black and white today using the Charming Butterfly Stamp from Oak House Studio and  Flower from Penny Black. Layered up the flower to give more depth and heat embossed the butterfly. I used linen card from Paper Mill Direct and the layering dies from Tonic to finish........

Sweet Poppy Stencil

Leaf Flourish Stencil

 

 

Created background first by distressing card working a lighter area towards the centre. Then  with a texture stamp I dabbed several colours on ( doesn't show in the photo) and stamped. Dried and then used a dimension glitter paste through the stencil. When this was dry I outlined the whole stencil in blue with a fine liner to pop the image a bit. When dry matt and layered and stamped card base with a small leaf stamp I found.

Distress Inks round the border.  Hero Arts tulip and  leaves stamped with WOW Platinum EP and a Memory Box die at the back. Oak House Studio Heart Stamp with heat EP and inked over. Charming Butterfly from OHS heat stamped onto the heart and coloured.

I used a different shape card base for this simple card today. Ribbon added first and then matt and layering. Distress ink and stamped raindrops stamp on top layer. Faux ribbon using gilding flakes behind the flowers. Sentiment from a die cut and the main flowers are from the Sunkissed range by Heartfelt Creations, then coloured and Stickles glitter glue for more effect.

Parchment and Embossing

 

Second card mainly using the Free stamps (except for the flower. This time I stamped the sentiment with Stazon  which made a difference to the clarity compared with heat embossing, I think. Background stamped and white EP. Spritzed background with Goosebumps and left to dry before distressing and  mounting the parchment embellishments and adding the silver flowers.



Free Indigo Blue Stamps Set

Made this card from free Indigo Blue Stamps from a craft magazine. The 3 flowers with the pearls were from a set by Chocolate Baroque.
