Time for Teal?

Happy Monday,

I had almost forgotten my love of the colour combination of Teal and white something I used to use on so many occasions.  I was looking at the new stamps to die for from Sue's new range, when I was chatting with Julia at her workshop the other day as she is the Queen of stamping, and I could just see this card in my head.

I started by stamping the floral doodle stamp to die for (to match the New York Collection) in Perfect Medium onto teal foundation card. I added cosmic shimmer detail white embossing powder and heat set it.  I did this twice more to make three identical images.  Using the square die from the New York collection, Herald square die set, I cut each stamped image out.  For the centres I hand cut the middles out using my scalpel.

To make the centre panel I simply placed them on top of each other and then wove a strip of white card, with a piece of teal seam binding stuck along it, through the three shapes.  I wove this piece over and under each successive corner so that all elements of the design were visible across the three.  I then foam mounted this onto a base embossed with the creative expressions A4 embossing folder adding a teal border and tucking the ends over.  To finish the card I added the panel to a large mat of white and teal .


Finally I added a multilingual bow in the same teal seam binding and a black large dazzler to the top.

Sue wilson's New York Union square die
