A bit of Metal

Good Morning,

Add some Metal

I cut the focal point mats ( kraft card) and layers ( in white) on the cameo.

The image and sentiment was then heat embossed in clear then coloured with distress inks.

The backing paper was faux stitched with a white gel pen and a pleated vintage ribbon was added to the center, The focal point was added using foam pads and a metal and pearl brad was added to the center.

It's a Beautiful Day!

Good Morning,

Been having a play with my Altenew stamps I brought a while ago.

I'm definitely going to use them again.

Altenew beautiful day flowers & leaves were stamped with a black outline then 3 coloured layers added for flowers and 2 for leaves. All were cut out leaving a small white border and arranged onto card using foam pads to give dimension. The sentiment, from the same stamp set was then stamped directly onto the card in black. I was pleased with the outcome some decided to make another one.

This time I stamped the images with versa mark and heat embossed with a fine white powder. i then added the layers in yellows and pink memento inks. Sentiment is from the vintage florals set & stamped in black. A glittered butterfly was added for a bit of sparkle. 

Don't know which colour combo I like best.

Have a nice day!
