Something different Saturday...

Happy Saturday,

Don't forget I will be at Grafton Crafts in Bicton today from 10am till 4pm demoing my new ranges as well as Dies by Sue Wilson and lots of cosmic shimmer products.  I will be also demoing a brand new product that isn't even released yet but will be available for pre order so if you want a first look its worth popping in!






Back to today and how could I create my own paper pack and not try all the different options therefore for today I have gone different and out of my usual confront zone and does some distressed work!  Please let me know whet you think as this is one of the planned demos for Hochanda next week.

I stared by stamping the daisy daisy background text ( which for those with a sharp eye is the traditional song daisy Daisy in french, however I didn't just translate this to french a friend managed to get me the correct French version.  I stamped this in perfect medium onto coconut white card stock and heat embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer true detail white embossing powder.  I then ripped the edges , scrunched it up and covered it in frosted mink colour cloud blending ink.  Next I stamped the spring flower bouquet form the Spring words stamp set, again i white, onto a piece of the warm linen spring trail backing paper and coloured over this the same.by

Next I stamped the sentiment and the flower word Dream in the same manner and treated this to the distressing.  The words in the Spring words set have hand drawn flowers making up the individual letters and can be decorated in so many different ways even individually coloured.  I made up some daisies using the Cornflower dies ( tune in to the shows rot see how this is done) and added frosted mink PVA to the centres.

Using one of the 2 border strip stamps from the daisy Trail clear stamp set I stamped the cotton ribbon with potting soil archival ink to make a matching ribbon and added a tie of this across the top and a knot below the flowers.

For the back of the card I used a variety of torn pages from the paper pack which I distressed with the colour cloud and layers to look as if there is a lot a depth to the card however it is completely flat!

To see how this card was made simply tune in on Monday or Tuesday next week as I will be doing a step by step.  I hope you have enjoyed this trip into darker and distressed places let me know!

Enjoy...
