Hi, thanks for stopping by...
Today is the start of a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers
and this is my contribution to the theme
This is an 8"x7" card base. I used 'Bubble Bloom' Clear Stamp for the main focal point and stamped this using Ranger's Clear Perfect Medium Ink Pad then applied Cosmic Shimmer 'True White' Detailed Embossing Powder and heat set it. I applied Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud in 'Chic Aubergine', 'Chic Magenta' and 'Chic Grey Blue and used smoothies for each individual colour as a background for the focal element. I also used 'Chic Aubergine' on the base card, creating a border to match one of the background colours. I removed the colour from the circles on the stems using a fine paintbrush and bleach, when dry I added flat back pearls to each circle.
I stamped the sentiment onto white card and used the 'Chic Aubergine' to ink the stamp then die cut it using one of the sets from the 'Indian Ocean Collection' - 'Tag Duo.'
To complete I added a double row of flat back pearls as shown below

Challenge # 146 Not A Square Card - Addicted-To-Stamps
This is really nice. Im sure its not as intricate as it sounds. I AM intrigued with the use of "bleach" and wouldnt mind knowing how that is done. As im viewing via a fone i cant see the black flat back pearls and thought theyd be visible in the close up - sadly i can not see them :( xxx
ReplyDeleteThey're flat backed pearls Pam, not black lol. You shouldn't wear anything decent clothing when you're doing bleaching, as I can testify lol x
ReplyDeleteLove this card June, so pretty! Love the background colours, and the way you framed your focal point looks wonderful!! x
