More Field flowers

Chris and Anita have been over today and Chris brought the two stamp sets that I don't own

 (Field Flowers and Flourishing Flowers) for me to play with - yippee!

Here's one of the cards that I made.

Colour Combo is Regal Rose, Basic Gray and Whisper White.

Stamp set is Field Flowers (on my wish-list!)

Textured Impressions Embossing folder is Delicate Designs

The ribbon is retired Stampin' Up from my stash.

I inked the stamps up with Versamark and heat embossed in White, using the

Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the flower heads on the stalks.

The knot-less bow was made using a brad (from my stash) in place of the knot.

I haven't put a greeting on it - I can send it when a suitable occasion arises,

or I might just keep it for me!!

Field Flowers

Been playing at Chris's (sis-in-laws) today and her down-line Anita joined us too.

We played with a couple of stamp sets that I don't own - which is great!.

We played with gilding flakes - and had a lot of fun, but  made a lot of mess

and all ended up with sticky fingers and gilding flakes everywhere.

It's not the easiest of techniques to master, but here is my 3rd attempt!

The colour combo is Bravo Burgundy (soon to retire) Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple.

The stamp set used was Field Flowers for the flowers, sentiment and butterfly.

For the frame, which we used gilding flakes on, we used Papaya Collage.

You can't see the gilding effect on this photo, but it looks lovely IRL.
