Queen Anne's Lace meets Timeless Tulips

 Thank you for joining me today!

Happy Birthday Donna

It's the first time I've used the mercury glass designer acetate and I found it quite hard to get it to fold, but was pleased with the finished result. I did some blending on basic white cs for the background then stamped the image on vellum and heat embossed. Both the cs and the vellum were die cut, then the vellum was cut down to just the plain frame and adhered with tiny dots of liquid glue. I think if I was to do this card again I would use a lighter colour for the label.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, calypso coral

Designer Acetate: mercury glass

Dies: ornate layers, painted labels, *well written

Embossing Powder: white

Ink: calypso coral, Gorgeous grape, rich razzleberry versamark  

Stamp Sets: queen anne's lace, timeless tulips  

Accessories: basic pearls

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

Ornate Thanks

Hi, welcome to my haven in a hectic world, hope you're having a good day!

I can't believe it's week 8 of the pandemic lockdown here in the UK.

At least I'm getting plenty of crafting done, also trying to tidy up my haven, but that's a slow process.

Another card for our lovely Sue, we have a beautifully cooked Sunday dinner delivered every week by her daughter Holly, and I like to send the payment in a nice card!

All measurements are in centimetres.
 (cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (sdsp) = speciality designer series paper, (ss) = stamp set, n = narrow, w = wide, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

• Start with a card base of very vanilla (cs) 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5.
• Then a layer of ornate garden (sdsp) 9.5 x 13.5 adhered at a slight angle using liquid glue.
• The next layer is very vanilla (cs) 9.5 x 13.5 embossed using the ornate floral 3D (ef), this layer was lightly sponged using terracotta tile ink, and then adhered down again slightly off set using liquid glue.
• The 3rd layer is ornate garden (sdsp) 8 x 10, this piece is die cut using the wide (4) ornate layers die, run through the die cutting machine twice if you want the pattern on all 4 edges. Adhere at an angle using liquid glue.
• The sentiment is from the ornate thanks (ss) and stamped using terracotta tile ink onto very vanilla (cs) 6 x 9, then die cut using the w (2) ornate layers die, then attached using dimensional pads.
• Make a bow using the ornate garden combo terracotta tile ribbon and adhere to the card using a glue dot.
• Add (r) faceted gems for decoration.

Will be back again soon with more cards, thanks for dropping by.
