These were two cards I designed for our class to create during our November session. I had seen the style on the right where the images seem to fade away with the second and third generation stamping and later found the idea of putting decoupage medium on dryer sheets and sprinkling it with glitter before attaching it to the same fade-away style image.
My Spellbinders Heirloom Oval Die created the white frame, an Inkadinkadoo stamp set called Trees provided the forest and the deer. Heaven only knows about that stamp set; it was given to me by a friend of a friend and may have been discontinued long ago. Besides the silver craft paper, I use white and several shades of blue. The same is true of the inks and embossing powders I used.
The flowy, soft, smooth bow can only be done with real silk ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon). Nothing else has the drape of real silk. Rayon seam binding comes close but has a rougher texture that sometimes doesn’t seem appropriate for the card being made. This was 1/4 inch white silk ribbon twined on a Becca Feeken Bow Maker and teased down to one side.
Please be sure to comment below… it makes my day! Blessings & Hugs, y’all..!!
Those are stunning. I love the colours, and that stamp is so pretty x
Actually, it is two little evergreen stamps (about 1″ high each) and a little deer stamp from the set I mentioned. But thank you for the view and the sweet comment..! I went to your blog and was surprised by your bride & groom card… I was sure it was embossed until I read your description. Really cool… The ladies in my class will be impressed when we do a project using that idea.! I take it you are “Down Under”? Isn’t it a wonderful world when we can meet folks from around the world? I love it. Have a happy day.!
Thank you for your kind comments. I’m in Newcastle. The sister in law (who rang yesterday to tell us the date of the wedding!) emigrated in 2013 x
Always looking forward to Valentine day.
That wouldn’t have anything to do with candy and presents would it? Glad you stopped by today.!
