Hi
there
Today's
card is another stamped effort – I do enjoy stamping and I am
finding more ways to make my card look interesting without having to
colour it
For
this card I used a set of Kanban stamps that I love
I
started by creating my square card – in case you have forgotten how
– using the blue eazi-score board I scored the white card on line
7, folded it and smoothed over the score, then turned it 90 degrees
and scored on line 7 again, chop off the waste and there you have
your 6x6 white card.
Using
a piece of smooth white card I created my background by using a
blending brush and 3 Tim Holtz distress ink pads – peacock
feathers, peeled paint and shaded lilac.
I
started added a little colour and working it on then moving onto the
next colour and so on until I was happy with it – then I used a
fine spray of water which made the colours merge more then rolled
over it with a kitchen roll to blot up excess water and also give a
lovely pattern...as I had to stamp on the panel I used my heat gun
to dry off the paper.
I
used the main image – 3 beautiful full headed flowers with long
slender stems – the were stamped with black memento ink in the
centre of the panel.
Under
that I used part of another stamp – I only wanted a small part of
the flower so laid a sheet of plain paper over the bottom of the card
so I stamped onto the paper and the card.
Using
the nipped corner punch I did the 4 corners of the image then matted
it to a piece of black care.
This
was then secured to the white square card blank with double sided
tape – it was positioned centrally top and bottom but then over to
the left hand side.
Searching
through some stamps I came across a Best Wishes stamps that was a
lovely font to match the card so stamped it onto a piece of scrap
white card then trimmed it and matted onto a scrap of black card –
this was then secured to the bottom right of the card with thick
sticky pads.
Just
under the sentiment I added a knotted piece of green ribbon which was
stuck in place with a blob of pinflare gel.
And
to finish I added 3 black AB flat back gems to the to right corner of
the card then 1 in each of the corners of the stamped panel
I
was really pleased with the finished card and have had lots of lovely
comments on it too
Another
for the bulging to use or sell box
See
you tomorrow

Love this card Angie. I'll have a go at this myself as I have a similar stamp. I like the square on a larger card idea.
