Hi Stampers, Hope you are enjoying the lovely Autumn weather which is perfect for a Sunday. One great thing about living in Canberra is that, unlike most of Australia, we actually have 4 distinct seasons. Today is a lovely warm, still day but there is plenty of colour in the trees. I have a gorgeous Golden Ash tree in all its yellow glory in my sight as I write this.
Today, I would like to share a card that came together a bit by accident. I was looking at my gorgeous Petal Pink /Whisper White Variegated Ribbon and wondering what I should make with it, so the colour was a given. I also wanted to have a go at inking up my Country Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder. I smooched the inside of the top of the folder (the side with Stampin’ Up! on it, the inside surface of which is recessed) with the Petal Pink inkpad. Then I placed a sheet of Whisper White card inside and ran it through the big shot.
I cleaned the folder under a cold tap and dried it while waiting for the result to dry, then I used a sponge dauber to go over the white raised elements with Frost White Shimmer Paint. It looks so shimmery in life! I even swiped the vellum diecut with the greeting embossed on it.
To add to the shimmer and shine, I matted the art panel onto glossy white, then a Petal Pink card, added the gorgeous ribbon and white embossed the greeting (from the Botanical Bliss Stamp Set) onto vellum and diecut that using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Finally, I added half a sprig punched from glossy white and a couple of pearls. This is such a pretty card, with all the shimmer and shine. Hope you like it too.
The Country Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder was available as a free gift during 2019 SaleABration but will be available in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue.
The Frost White Shimmer Paint and the Sprig Punch carried over from the 2018-19 Holiday catalogue and are still available. All products used are available in my online store, except the Embossing Folder. To go there, click on ‘Shopping’ at the top of this page, then select ‘MY ONLINE STAMPIN’ UP! SHOP”. You can then create your own account with me. If you’re not sure about how to do this, I would be very happy to assist you. Just contact me. If you live in Australia, I would love to be your demonstrator.
Till next time..
Netty xx
