Hello lovely peeps, and a very warm welcome to my new follower :)
Nikky is launching two gorgeous new stamp & CD collections on Create and Craft at 2pm today and I have made a card with the stamps from 'Summertime' and a sentiment from the 'Daisy Days' CD
I was winging it a bit with this one so I don't have step by step pictures, but I'll talk you through it
First I embossed the flower/seed heads onto Clarity card with Versamark and sprinkled on clear embossing powder. After melting I repeated the process with the bubbles and stems (I did it in two steps as my first attempt to do it all in one go dried too quickly and the result was patchy).
Next I blended mustard seed, spiced marmalade, ripe persimmon and barn door Distress Inks over the card and then flicked water at it. I left it about 15 seconds before I blotted it dry with kitchen towel
I coloured in the seed heads a little with walnut stain DI to give them more definition
I printed the sentiment directly onto some vellum and quickly dried it with a heat gun in case the ink spread on the smooth surface. Once dry I tore the edges to make a strip and wrapped it around the back of my card so I could hide the adhesive.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
