Linen Speciality Paper meets Nature's Prints and more

  Welcome to my blog

and  thank you for joining me today!

Happy 4th Anniversary to Alison & Rob

As the 4th anniversary is linen i incorporated it into the background, and used only 3 colours for this card. Also there is both dry and heat embossing used.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: gray granite, very vanilla

Designer Series Paper: linen

Dies: deckled rectangles (6), natural prints

Embossing powder: clear

Embossing Folders: bricks & mortar 3D, fern 3D

Ink: blushing bride, versamark

Punches: lovely labels

Stamp Sets: * express yourself, *love & happiness, nature's prints

Accessories: *bakers twine, *polished dots

• Emboss the first layer using the bricks & mortar folder, then adhere to base card.
• Emboss the linen using the fern folder, remove backing and adhere to card.
• Stamp and die cut the flower elements and attach to card using dimensionals.
• Make two banners using the punch, one narrow and one not so narrow.
• Use the banners for the sentiments, double load the stamp with versamark and blushing bride before stamping and adding the embossing powder.
• Add a polished dot to the centre of the flower, then a bow to the stems.
• It sounds a lot, but once stamped and die cut it's easy to put together 

* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

Card Stock: fresh freesia, tahitian tide, shimmery white, vellum

Dies: blossoming happiness, sending

Embossing Folders: timeworn type 3D, wintery 3D

Ink: fresh freesia, memento tuxedo black, tahitian tide
