Marleen DT, Sleigh ride..

Hello Everyone
and welcome to the blog.

Once again wednesday and my turn to share some inspiration using the amazing stamps from Colourific.

For todays card I've used the "Santa's Sleigh" set.

 Once again a very simple card.
I started with a black piece of card stock which I ran through my big shot with an embossing folder.

I then stamped, also on black card stock, the sleigh with versamark ink and heat set it using gold embossing powder.
I die cut the greeting and the holly for the corner and heat set them as well with the same gold embossing powder.

I finished by creating a mat, using the same embossing powder, by just swiping my versamark pad around the edges and heatsetting the powder.

And that is all from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Vellum Leaf Wreath - DT Member Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. I had a vision of how this card was going to turn out when I started, and I can say, this card is exactly like how I had planned it. When I saw the A6 leaves stamp set from Colourific, I thought they would be perfect for creating a wreath. Whatsmore, pair it with vellum and embossing powder and a beautiful vellum leaf wreath card was created!

Vellum Floral Wreath card details:

Start off by repeatedly stamping the outline leaves from the A6 Leaves clear stamp set in versamark onto vellum. Cover this with white embossing powder and heat set. 

Once you have stamped and embossed enough leaves fussy cut these out. Start arranging the leaves onto a kraft card panel - you may find it useful to draw a faint pencilled circle for guidance. Using strong adhesive, secure the leaves down, overlapping and weaving the leaves for interest.

Add a layered die cut sentiment to the middle of the wreath. I also added a black die cut sentiment at the back, offset to one side to create a shadow. This will help the sentiment stand out from the wreath.

To soften the edges, lightly ink blend white pigment ink and foam mount the card panel onto a square kraft card base. To finish off, add a selection of sequins, scattering them around the wreath. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.

Marleen DT - Alphabets and Numbers

Hello Beautiful People

Its once again my turn to share a bit of inspiration for
Colourific.For todays project I have used the
A4 Alphabet and Numbers set
A6 Alpahbet and Numbers set
A5 Princess Carriage set (the wee stars)

My background is a simple distress ink mop-up from another project. I had ink left on my mat after playing and didnt wanna waste it so mopped up the rest and used it here.

I stamped my open letters strait on to the background with versamark and heatseet it with gold embossing powder. I made sure not to remove any excess powder that landed on the background as I wanted the specks to stay. I also stamped the little stars and swiped my versamark around the edges of the background and heatset both also.

I filled my letters with glossy accent and added little micro beads in to the gloss while it was still wet. That made sure they stayed put.

While the gloss was drying I punched the wee circle, stamped the "15" on to it, swiped the pad around the edges and once again heatset with gold embossing powder.

Once all way dry I used foampads to add the circle as well as adding background to a craft notecard.

  And that is all for today.
