Welcome to my blog and a new card for Simon Says Stamp featuring recently released products. For this card I have used:-
I took a minty green A2 panel of cardstock from my stash and I ran it through my Big Shot using the Flower Frame Embossing Folder. I then inverted a white pigment ink pad and carefully passed it over the raised floral areas. Letting an application dry for a few minutes before coming back to it and repeating the process is the best way I have found for more whitening/contrast. I used a white gel pen to define the flower centres and then I trimmed down the panel and applied it to a white A2 card base with white craft foam sandwiched in between.
Using sturdy white cardstock and the Flourish Dragonfly Duo die, I created the parts for three dragonflies. I ink blended the different elements using Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Vintage Photo.
I sprayed the wings with Solar Spray in Crocodile Tears and when dry I assembled the dragonflies, glueing the parts together. I played around with them until I found an arrangement that I liked and then each one was secured to the background with a little dimensional foam tape. The wing tips can be teased upwards for insane dimension and the iridescence of the Solar Spray is just gorgeous when the card is handled and it catches the light.
To complete the card I stamped the sentiment from Tiny Words Birthday using Metallic Gold Pigment Ink by Honey Bee Stamps and applied the strip with foam tape.
Lastly, I found some toning jewels from my stash and glued some to the wing tips and others to the top left and bottom right corners.
Really happy with how this tone on tone card turned out, I hope you like it too! I'll be back very soon with something new to share.
