Hello,
First, please let me welcome my newest followers, Katrina and Carolyn. Thank you so much for showing an interest in my little part of blog-land!
Today is my GDT day at AALL and Create and I am sharing a birthday card made with the #396 Sewing Forever stamp set designed by Tracy Evans. It was one of my samples for Hochanda.
I decided to make a pretty, feminine card and used lace and flowers as embellishments. The flowers are from Tracy's #322 Birthday Blooms stamp set. The foliage is die cut.
The background is card smooshed, dipped and dabbed in Distress Oxides with stencilling over the top using #78 Cloister Grille.
Process:
1. The card background was made from dipping card into Oxides and water.
2. Flowers from #322 Birthday Blooms were stamped and fussy cut.
3. Oxide ink was stencilled through stencil #78 onto the background.
4. One of the stamps from #396 was stamped directly onto the background.
5. The lady was stamped again twice. On one her dress was coloured with Oxides through the #39 Totally Dotty stencil, then the top and skirt were fussy cut. The other was fussy cut and the skin coloured as the base for the decoupaged dress.
6. Lace was adhered.
7. The Flowers were shaped and layered.
8. Die cut foliage was added.
9. White paint lines were applied with an old store card and white paint splatters added.
