Princess

A card for 2 challenges:
The Stampman #27 Anything by Tim
Totally Papercrafts #75 - Girly Girls

For the Anything by Tim challenge I used Distress Inks and Tim's Coredinations paper.

The stamped image was by Creative Expressions.

To create the main panel white card was swished over my non-stick mat which had been daubed with various colours of distress ink and spritzed with water. It was dried between swishes until \I achieved the result I wanted. The princess was stamped with Stazon ink and coloured with Twinkling H2Os including gold for her crown and the stars. The edges of the panel were aged with more distress ink and then the whole panel was triple embossed with clear powder to give a beautiful shiny finish.

For the next layer, Coredinations card was put through a Cuttlebug in an embossing folder. The panel was sanded to show the core colour and the edges highlighted with Tea Dye and Frayed Burlap distress inks.

The tree paper was made by spraying Glimmer mist over a tree mask by Tattered Angels.

Ribbon was wrapped around the Coredinations panel and bonded in place. All the layers were mounted onto the A5 card base and a faux bow added over the ribbon.

Poppies

Hello again.

I'm sorry, it is yet another poppy card. I just love them and I seem to have so many different stamps that include them!

This card is for the Critter Challenge #72 - Sketch plus Red.

I started off with a cream linen textured card for the base.

The 2 red square panels are Coredinations card which has been through a Cuttlebug and embossing folder. The surface was sanded to remove the top layer of colour to reveal the core. These were then simply bonded to the base card.

The poppy image is from Chocolate Baroque which was coloured with Promarkers. Glossy Accents was applied to the flowers to give a beautiful shiny finish and the whole thing left to dry overnight. The panel was trimmed to size and Fired Brick Distress Ink used to tint the edges. This panel was added to a black shiny mat and then bonded to the base card.

Earlier this week, I rediscovered Mizuhiki cord so I had another play to produce two different knots to embellish the corners of the card.
