Hibiscus on vellum

Hi everybody, Maria here!  

It's Friday so its my turn to show you what I have made this week.  I love the black and white look with a hint of metallic, so I tried the Hibiscus stamp from Colourific on vellum with gold and silver pixie powders.

To make this card you will need:

A5 Hibiscus stamp from Colourific

Sheet of white vellum

Onyx Black Versafine ink

Mirror Card in Gold and Silver

Grey Pearl card

Small piece of black card

Versamark

White Card Blank

4 x Brads

Black Card

Gold Embossing ink

Sentiment out of stash

Gold and Silver Pixie Powders

Water Spritzer

Heat Tool

3D foam pads

Double Sided sticky tape

Here is how to make it:

1. Sprinkle the gold and silver pixie powder onto a piece of white vellum 13.5cm square.  Spritz the powder with water and either let it dry on its own or use a heat gun.  nb.  The vellum will crinkle more with the heat gun - but this all adds to the texture.
2. Stamp the flower head, the small stem and flourishes randomly on the vellum using the versafine ink.
3. Lightly spritz the vellum with Pure Pearl Mist ink spray from Pearlywinks and leave to dry.  
4. Attach this to the mirror card which is cut to exactly the same size by using brads.
5. Mount this onto a piece of pearl grey card and then onto the 6x6" card base.
6. Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of black card by using Versamark and emboss in Gold embossing powder.
7. Cut into the shape of a banner and mount onto gold mirror card.
8. Attach the banner to the card using 3D foam pads

That's it, all done.  You will find the card looks better in the flesh as you will be able to see all the shimmer and glitz from the pixie powders and the pearl spray finish.  Hope you enjoy making it.
