Stamps by Me - Best Wishes

Good Morning Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

I hope you are well, not feeling too good today, I have that tummy bug that is going around. Back to bed for me I think! Have a good day.

This afternoon Toni from Stamps by Me is on Create and Craft at 4.00 pm 

She will have the new Synergy Dies on which are just fabulous and cut card like butter!

Here is another of my samples using the Best Wishes Die

Step by Step.

1. Scored an A4 piece of white pearlescent card to create and A5 card.

2. Matted and layered red and black card.

3. Cut out 3 of the tags and sentiment using the above die.

4. I then positioned them using my Eureka 101 close together and stamped the image with Versafine then embossed with clear embossing powder. Then using the watercolour palette added Generation Re-inker in Red to water colour the flowers.  Once this was dry I then adhered to the base card separating them so they had a border around then.

5. To finish off I adhered the Best Wishes sentiment and added 3 pearl flat back gems.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Loving Wishes - Easel Card

Good Morning Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How is your week going so far?

So far I have managed to get quite a bit of  DT work done and need to do a couple of videos now.

Tomorrow Toni from Stamps by Me is on Create and Craft at 4.00 pm with some brand new Synergy dies

Here is one of my samples using the Loving Wishes die.

Step by Step

1. I created an 8 x 8 easel card with white base card.

2. On the base of the card I have matted and layered lilac polka dot card. I then cut out the 2 layers and sentiment with white card.  The inner layer I have distressed with Generation INX purple and adhered sentiment to the centre.  This will act as the stopper for the easel.

3. I matted and layered another piece of polka dot card, then matted and layered white pearlescent card.

4. Using my Eureka 101 stamped the Mixed Flowers stamp with black Versafine and embossed onto water coloured card. I then water coloured the flowers with Generation INX reinkers in purple and green.

5. To finish off I added the double bow with a pearl button to the centre and added the dragonfly.
