Using a large stamp as a focal point

Hey friends!

I wanted to share with you the video tutorial I've created playing with some of my favourite exclusive brands from Craft Stash, the video premiere is scheduled for 8 pm BST (and this would be the time I will be scheduling my videos from now on)

This is a large 8x8 size card and I love how this beautiful paeony stamp image is playing the main role in this composition.

1

background

Take a piece of cardstock slightly smaller than your card base and colour it with distress ink using smooching technique

2

front panel

Cut an A5 size panel and emboss it with floral script embossing folder, trim all edges up to the raised border. Take a Card |Making Magic border die and cut twice, adhere to both sides of embossed panel


3

stamped flower and leaves

Stamp your images with black ink and use clear embossing powder on the top. Colour your flower with distress ink and add some shading with darker tone, I'm using Spectrum Noir glitter ink, cut few extra leaves from white cardstock and colour them with Aladine inks.

4

sentiment and frame

Cut your sentiment from black cardstock and create an outline shape from white one, also cut a frame using the Daisy Mae Designs die. Colour both frame and outline with brown ink

5

putting it all together

Assemble your card using double sided tape and foam tape. as additional step you can add some Nuvo drops or couple of gems to give it a little blink blink effect.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and my inspiration. I will be coming back with another one next week and in meantime I wish to invite you all my friends to this coming Sunday for my FB/ Craft World live with the last part of my Dear Friend collection. I will prepare a separate post for that.
