Australian Warratah Stamp Card CCDT 0819

My Finished - Australia Warratah Stamp Card

Card Size - 10.5 cm x 14.8 cm (1/4 of an A4 Sheet)

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the lovely Sunburnt Country Collection   We have some wonderful native flowers and foliage in our country, it's great to be able to showcase them.  Hope there is something that interests you with this card.

 1.  All the elements prepared and ready for assembly.

The Firefly cardstock was trimmed, embossed with the Gumnut embossing folder before the edges where inked and distressed.
The other papers were trimmed to size, inked with Pale Brown and distressed.  The stamp was stamped with Pale Brown ink and painted with pink and green inks listed below.  The Die-cuts were all cut out and inked randomly with a touch of Cappuccino ink.

 2. Add double-sided tape to the backs of all cardboard and paper pieces

3. I used the Pearlescent inks as highlights on the tips of the petals and down the centre of the leaves.  Around the outside of the warratah flower I smudged the Platinum white to try to give a bit of depth to the image.

4. Adding cardboard as backing on the mats gives you plenty of space to add trimmings of lace, muslin and foliage.

5. I offset the 2 dragonfly die-cuts to make it appear 3D.  I added a hint of lace between the layers at the bottom, and a touch of muslin between the layers at the top. The adhesive pearls on the dragonfly and at the right of the stamp just felt right to put there.  The string was wrapped around all the mats, a bow was tied then it was all  adhered to the card front.

Creating History Together Butterfly Card - CCDT 1820

'Creating Memories Together Butterfly Card'

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the
 'Steampunk Dreams' Collection.

There is a great mix of interesting elements in this collection - you could so easily create a card for a female or a male, a layout or off-the-page project.  The butterflies are like no other I have seen before, so I just had to have a play with them.  Along with each collection I also like to try new techniques, so I experimented with multi-coloured pigment inks and clear embossing powder.

I hope it inspires you to give it a go

My finished Butterfly card

The components used for this project

Here I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder onto heat resistant acetate.  On the butterfly stamp, I combined different coloured pigment inks then I added clear embossing powder to highlight the detail.  I also created another added interest.

All the elements prepped and ready for assembly. 
My card size is  4 1/8" x 5 7/8" (1/4 of an A4 sheet).
My matting piece is 1/8" smaller on all sides.  The peeled paint paper was cut to the exact length of the matt piece.  The Mesh Die was cut from the glitter card -I kept a few of the circle off-cuts.  The butterfly and cogs were from the same patterned paper.

I attached the pieces to the card with a mix of glue, double-sided tape and foam tape.  After every piece was in place I tucked and glued some aqua/blue sisal fibres and some self-adhesive mesh plasters tape under the butterfly.
