Saturday stamping...

Happy Saturday,

Today I am at That's Crafty in Romford doing Make and Takes as well as demonstrating Sue's new range of dies, click HERE to see details of this Aladins cave of craftiness!  .

Back to today  and this is a simple stamped image using one of the stamps to die for that I designed for Sue Wilson for the last range of dies.. For this card I have stamped the image onto coconut white card using perfect medium and embossed it in detail black embossing powder.  I then cut the stamped image out using the matching outer and inner die from the St Barts die set from the Caribbean Island Collection.  Next I dragged 2 shades of distress ink down the image with the Darker peacock feathers at the top and broken china at the bottom to give the look of a twilight sky.

I cut the inner filigree section from the same die set in black foundation card and foam mounted the stamped image over the filigree.  To n make the background I cut 2 of the Caribbean island borders in aqua and mounted them onto a strip of black card using black pearls at the appropriate points (I love the fact that all of sues dies have places that seem to cry out for a pearl)

To make up the card I embossed an 18x18 cm square with the scored lines embossing folder and added pearls on the junctions of every fourth scored line.  A few layers of aqua and black to make a framed card along with a matching triple bow of ocean double sided satin ribbon.

Ingredients:
Creative Expressions Craft dies by Sue Wilson
Caribbean collection corner border & tag
St Barts
Aqua & Black foundation card
Spring birds stamp to die for
