Its back to my design team spot for Creative expressions and there have been a few changes on the blog as we have now launched a challenge with prizes. Click HERE to see the challenge and to enter. It would be great to see you enter your cards and this months theme is Easter so get your egg shapes out and give it a go. It';s a great way to win a prize and also showcase your work to Creative Expressions!
Back to today and I thought i could, kinda, get into the Easter theme by using the main element from the scribble rose elements stamp set as its a little egg shaped (can I hear clutching at straws here!)
I have teamed this up with the brand new paper pack from Couture Creations Vintage rose garden. Now as you know I am a lover of paper and this set is just stunning!
I allowed the paper to make all the backing for what is a simple stamping project. I stamped the central element form the stamp set using perfect medium onto milk foundation card and embossed it with Detail gold embossing powder from Cosmic Shimmer. I then repeated the process using the rose striplet stamp, hand cut them out and inked around the edges using Victorian Velvet distress ink (a one of the new smoothies)
I foam mounted the pieces and added a satin edged bow, a dazzler setting with a pearl embellishment in the centre (secured with cosmic pearl PVA) and a couple of pearl sprays to finish.
It would be great to see your cards up on the CE Challenge and you never know maybe win a prize!
Ingredients:
CE Clear stamp set Scribble Rose Elements - by me
CE Stamps to die for Scribble Rose Striplet
Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden 12 x 12 paper pack
Cosmic Shimmer Detail gold embossing powder
embellishments all from Creative Expressions.

ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteClutching at straws? More like grasping wildly with both hands hahaha! But that is forgiven so we can see this beautiful card using your terrific stamps. The papers look divine too but if I buy any more the house will become a fire hazard lol!
Have a great day.

Hello John, I'm loving this card, your rose stamps are so beautiful they just works so well without being too flower,y if you get what I mean, and the backing paper is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you John for yet another brilliant creation. Brenda
Still waiting for my stamps to arrive John, and I really wish I'd ordered the rose set now. Love the card!
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeletelovely card albeit I'm not a brown gingham person, so would pick a different background/colour to team with the CE paper. But love your stamps, and you're not clutching......
HAGD, Rose
What a fabulous card, just love the paper in the background, the gorgeous sentiment and embellishments
ReplyDeleteHello John and all
ReplyDeleteLovely Card. Like you I love the papers and really like the effect of them mounted on the check background. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
happy Wednesday to you John, the sun is shining and all is right in my little world. I actually made two cards yesterday as I have friends celebrating a diamond wedding tomorrow and a golden wedding on Friday, the first cards I have made since I moved out of my previous home last November! To make a card for a challenge would be another matter so I think I will leave it up to you at present. Your card fulfils the requirements most admirably with your super stamps and such pretty ribbon. Have a good day, love from Jackie xx,
ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful, everything co-ordinates so well to give a really pretty, soft focus effect and the ribbon embelishment is just gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi John, I love your stamps and the paper pad which look great together in real life, however the stamped image looks a green colour so going with what's written and trust. X Ros
