3D Bauble...

Happy Saturday,

Today I am back on the road at the Craft Locker in poole doing workshops with a mixture of my Products.  I also wanted to explain the idea of complex simplicity I said yesterday!  I meant that you can get a complexity of look with simple techniques making an easy to make project look complex( there clear as mud!)


I thought I would share another card made using the bauble media plate and this time the build a wreath clear stamp set.  Whilst this set is designed to make stamping wreathes easy ( and for any occasion not just Christmas) it also has lots of smaller elements that you can use for many other projects.

The bible is made simply by stamping three of the stamps in different colours onto the media plate before stamping this not card.  This technique allows you to go over the edges of the bauble and make it look more 3D with images running off the edge.

Once stamped I used the petal blenders to shade around the edges of the bauble to make the 3D element come to life.  Finally I inked the top of the bauble using black ink to finish the top.

I made up the reminder of the card using my star stream embossing folder with the stitch dot oval die cut in the centre.  I added a strip of pearls and a really simple bow so that bauble wasn't just floating.


Enjoy...

    Love this card. Thank you. Like Myra I need to practice the techniques. Used the Christmas scene stamps yesterday. Like the village scene and have made two cards with it so far. Had my flu jab this morning. Hope I don't have a reaction to it. Enjoy your weekend. Take care travelling.xxx
