Special Thanks Window Card

Special Thanks Window Card



Welcome again! I can't keep away from glitter elements, this time using the beautiful purple glitter card. These stamps and dies are from the new collection You Go Girl designed by Lucy Campeanu.

The day before I had to make a resin frame and allow it to set before I could make this card.  I started by preparing all the required elements ( I never know how many I really need so I just make a few extra).  I stamped and die-cut the leaves,  flowers, dragonfly and corner flower pieces.
With the oval dies, I used the larger one to cut the purple glitter card first then positioned it over the front of the card base.  I then aligned the smaller die inside this to cut the card front.

I made 3 'fuschia' flowers.  I used the ball tool to shape the petals.  I glued the bottom petals face downward and the top petals and sepal upwards.  I pieced a hole through the centres and glued the stamens in there.
I embossed a sentiment onto white card then sized it down to fit inside the resin frame and cut a 'v' at one end.  

I created a floral arrangement with the stamps by masking and layering - remember the image that you want in the front has to be the first image stamped then masked.  I stamped the flowers with the black outline ink onto the photographic white card and coloured them with the alcohol ink markers.  I love how the colourless blender changes the colours slightly and gives you a bigger range of colours.  Once it was coloured, I fussy cut it out and put foam squares on one side underneath.

It was time to assemble all of this.  Between the card front and purple glitter card I placed a corner flower die on alternative sides of the oval area then glued them in place.  Everything else was glued into position as per the photos.  Inside the card I created a spot for a 'Gift Card' to go as a special option.

Princess Card

 Princess Card






Welcome again! I wanted to use some glitter elements in this card as this stamp is of a pretty girl and what girl doesn't like a bit of glitter.  The beautiful glitter inks and glitter card were perfect.  These stamps and dies are from the new collection You Go Girl designed by Lucy Campeanu.

I splashed some of the pink tone alcohol inks and the blending solution onto a piece of white card, then once dry I die-cut the flowers from it and shaped the flowers a little.  The 'Princess' sentiment was cut from the pink glitter card as well as some foam.  The floral die and a leaf die was cut from white cardbase.  I stamped the sitting girl with the Stayz matte black ink onto the photographic white card and coloured them with the alcohol markers.   These markers are so juicy and they have a smooth flow of colour that blends effortlessly - for a beginner in colouring every little bit helps.

I trimmed the pink glitter card to the size just a bit smaller than the cardbase, glued cardboard to it and then adhered it to the cardbase.  I trimmed a piece of photographic paper to a size just smaller than the pink glitter card.  On this piece I swooshed the green alcohol inks and the blending solution then allowed it to dry before glueing it onto the pink glitter card.  The 'Princess' dies of the foam and the glitter card were glued together.  With some of the flowers I glued a few stamens to the centres, others I added a resin bubble. Once all the pieces were prepared, it was just a matter of mounting and gluing/layering them into place.  Glitter glue and resin bubbles where added randomly to finish the project.
