I started by embossing two of the feather dies from Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers Die set using watermark ink onto a watercolour cardstock front panel and then quickly heat embossing those with gold embossing powder…I then used my Crayola Fine Line Markers and a waterbrush to colour them in…
Scrapbook Boutique June Challenge – Black & Gold
The card I’m sharing today is my entry for the Scrapbook Boutique June challenge…and the theme of this month’s moodboard is ‘Gold Is The New Black’…and as you can see my card is just gold and black….I think I spent more time trying to click a good enough picture of this card rather than creating it..!! 🙂
I started with a gold cardstock for the card base and a black top layer slightly smaller than the card front…I then splattered the top layer with gold paint and once dry embossed it with Heidi Swapp wanderlust embossing folder… this embossing folder has thick stripes on it which look great and also helped me place the alphabet die cuts on the card properly which was a bonus…
Using gold foil cardstock,I die cut three different sized Polaroid frames and chose a black cardstock for the center…I stamped a few different flowers on these using watermark ink and heat embossed the images using gold embossing powder…
For the sentiment I first stamped a stripy border on a piece of gold cardstock(same as card base) using watermark ink and then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder….I die cut the alphabets from this and layered them with craft foam before adhering them to the card as well as the Polaroid frames…
To embellish my card I have simply added a few black Nuvo drops on the Polaroid frames…Here is a close up shot of my card…hope you can see the gold heat embossing on the alphabet dies a bit better in this picture…
A Dragon Card & Prince Charming Tag
I kept the tag quite simple…the tag base has been die cut using the MFT tag builder 5 blueprints and I have used distress inks to create the background…I then die cut the tag border and adhered it to the base tag…
On a separate piese of cardstock I stamped,coloured in and cut out the little prince image and placed it on the tag…I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of coloured cardstock using white embossing powder and placed it on the tag…
Finally I added a piece of blue ribbon and some tiny star sequins and my tag was ready…
Celebrate & Enjoy Your Special Day – Two Cards
For my second card I chose and aqua green coloured card base and a watercolour paper top layer…I first stamped the large flower from Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set all around the edges of the cardstock and coloured them all in using Peerless watercolors….
I covered the center area with a greenish colour and stamped the sentiment using Mama Elephant Calli Letters alphabet stamps…I do need a lot more practice with these stamps….but they are one of the best ones I’ve used yet…
I couldn’t decide how to embellish this card so I just used a metallic silver marker and added a few dots near the flowers..
I’m so glad you stopped by to take a look at my cards today….Hope you will have a beautiful day ahead…!!
