Today's card is for the Less is More Challenge where the subject is
This is my card
First I inked up the flourish with Versamark and then I masked off the edges to make a round shape, before stamping onto a white card.
I then heat embossed the shape with gold powder ( sorry but my photo is not the best to show the gold), and repeated the process twice more ( placing the stamp by using the Stamp-a-ma-jig ). The sentiment was stamped in red across the top, and gold wiggly lines drawn to hang the baubles, and the finishing touches were the "bling gems".
I was pleased with my efforts until I drew the lines to hang the baubles, and then I realised that the right hand one is a little too close to the top one, but I couldn't do anything to disguise it, so just went with it.
Recipe: Card = from my stash
Stamps = Bliss and Dovecraft
Inks = Versamark and Real Red
Tools = Heat Gun and Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras = Gold embossing powder, Gold Pilot marker, and gems
Thanks for dropping by, and please call again if you can.
Love how you have used this gorgeous stamp. I love the bling. Love Sheila (Cyprus0
ReplyDeleteOh, Bev!!! How fabulous is THIS?! LOVE the masking idea--and the multi-colored bling is perfect! :) LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea Bev.
ReplyDeleteI often do some sort of baulble suspended form text. I have often done a row of liquid pearl dots it makes for a subtle look
Super card
Thank you

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your idea Bev and your coloured gems look perfect on the chandeliers! I love Mandi's tip too and thought I'd add mine - to pierce a line of fine holes (I use my mat pack template) with a piercing tool. Vx
