Morning all. Last night I decided to chisel away and make something that I haven't used yet from the NEC and decided on a couple of stamps from Lavinia stamps. I have decided at the moment that my new favourite distress ink is seedless preserves. I can't think of a project recently that I haven't used it!
For this card I used: Papermill white linen card & papermill black and teal for layers
Distress inks: Seedless perseveres ( my new fav colour :-)
Shaded lilac
Evergreen bough
Antique photo
Lavinia stamps: Witches cat & climbing ivy
The dragonflies are from card-io's dragonfly garden
Ranger liquid pearls
I lightly swept over my background with evergreen bough to make the pale green background. I then used ripped paper to make a mask for the ground and for the corners that frame the image. I stamped on the cat and the dragonflies using black versa fine. I stamped on climbing ivy using my chosen distress inks. I framed the outside using a makeup sponge with antique photo and seedless preserves ( told you, I love this colour). The stars are stamped in evergreen bough, I applied liquid pearls and a sprinkling of glitter. I then embellished the rest of the card using liquid pearls.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. If you have enjoyed don't for get to follow. I love hearing your comments too.
