Rose Wonder Birthday Card - Weekend Blog

Hi all and welcome to my Blog.


Today I have made a beautiful card using the Rose Wonder SU stamp set, embossing and stamping




I started this card with a piece of Garden Green cardstock - 1/2 an A4 sheet, scored half way across and burnished.

I have cut out a matt in Whisper white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" and a similar size piece of watercolour paper




I stamped the watercolour with versamark ink and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder, dont forget to use the Embossing  Buddy



I then painted the rose using drops of ink dripped onto a stamping block and using a Aquapainter to give shadeing to the rose. I have used Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Garden Green re inkers. When I am painting or colouring and then going to fussy cut out, I tend to paint slightly over the outline, so that I do not end up with white edges to my shape



Once dry, I cut out the rose and mounted it on the Whisper White Matt with dimensionals and added a few small flowers stamps and some Faceted Gems for effect. I added a Wink of Stella to the rose and leaves to give a glimmer effect.The inside was stamped with a sentiment and a small flower from the Birthday Blooms set.



I have also done this card using ordinary cardstock instead of watercolour paper. I like both effects. Below is embossed on card and then watercolour


I hope you have enjoyed this post and I would love you to leave a message.

Weekend Blog - Stampin' Up! Sheltering Tree Friendship Card

Welcome to my Weekend Blog

Today I am going to show you a card made with the Stampin' Up!(SU) Sheltering Tree stamp set


As the leaves on "My" tree outside my craft room window start to show the hues of autumn, I am looking forward to the annual display of amazing colours in our trees. This card is a nod to Autumn and also to my Friends who help me through hard times 


I have made this card so that the image on the front overflows the matt that it is stamped on. This effect can either be done by doing all your stamping and then cutting out the square, or by cutting the square first, and then stamping. I have tried it both ways and both work. 



Here I have done all my stamping and then carefully cut out the square. Always stabilize the framelit with Washi tape before running it through Bigshot machine. Once you have the apeture, cut 2 more layers of the same size in the matt colour and make glue the 3 square together to give a nice thickness. Mount with dimesionals




Complete your card as below
