Today's card is a combined effort for this weeks Stamping for the Weekend, where the theme is to create "A wallet card or a pocket card", Spoonful of Sugar and Everybody Art Challenges who both have the theme of "Summer", so I thought these daisies and real midsummer flowers.I have used Hobby Art FL1910E which I masked and stamped three times to create a stepped effect which is my pocket. Each of the flowers have been stamped again and this is where it all went a bit pear shaped and the fatigue kicked it ........ The flowers were meant to be sparkly, but ended up being embossed and I covered each with a quickie glue pen but dipped them in clear embossing powder instead of glitter by mistake ! At least I found out that quickie glue acts as an embossing ink OK.
I followed the dotty lines of the image with liquid pearls and added more flowers cut from the same image and a wire embelli to the bottom corner. The tag was cut on cricut Plantin and the greeting stamped from Hero LP140. The DP is from Karen Foster ....... also filed under "Green" ........ how long can this organisation work I ask ?
So must away now to have a rest (compulsory apparently) ......... but now I've got a laptop I can use the opportunity to catch up on some more serious blogging ........ I still have so many lovely comments to follow up on and quite a few awards to deal with as well, so will probably be back later.
It turned out beautifully! And you made some interesting discoveries in the process. I love the card. Nice job making 1 card for 3 challenges.

It all worked really well, Brenda, even if it wasn't what you intended. I know you're still a bit under the weather but I definitely think this heat adles your brain, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Wow there is a lot of work in this card and it shows. If it helps I think the clear embossing powder has worked well and given a nice sheen to the images :) I love the way you have used the image 3 times and and then a cut down part of it as an extra embelishment in the corner. Oooh and loving the pearly dots.

This is really gorgeous, i love the image and the sparkles, and the lemon colours are so cheery, perfect...
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at SFTW, Good luck hugs Pops x
A lovely card Brenda, love the step effect you've done with the flowers, and the layering of them as well. Yes quickie glue works great with embossing powder as well......nice effect for doing writing with it, then using embossing powder over that and heating it up, but they have a lovely sparkle to them. Love the flower in the corner with the wire too, very nice and your tag is great.
