Hello my lovelies. I hope you are having a wonderful day so far. Today I have a card for my good friends' Loll and Bonnie's CAS Mix Up Challenge and this month they want to see, stamping, markers and your choice.
For my choice I used a vellum die cut. First I will show you my card and then, for those interested, I will explain what I did below. Here it is then.
First, I made a plain card base, then I cut a slightly smaller, scalloped rectangle with a Tonic set and a plain, smaller rectangle again from the same Tonic set.
Next, I scribbled markers on to my Penny Black 'Passionate' rubber stamp and spritzed with water a few times and stamped it down on to the smallest rectangle. While that was drying, I adhered the scalloped vellum panel on to the card base. Then, once my focal panel was dry, I adhered it on to the front of my card.
I finished by stamping the sentiment from Hero Arts 'Hello Sunshine' stamp set and added a few sparkling clear sequins.
**TIP**
I couldn't decide which sentiment to use, so I stamped a selection from the set on to acetate and tried them on the card to see which looked best, that way, you can see in advance whether the sentiment you choose is right for your design and you have no mistakes to try and redeem!
Have a truly wonderful day my friends, until the next time, happy crafting!
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous bloom and card Hazel!!!Wow!!! I do the same thing if and when I do a sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThe colours and the effect you've achieved on this card are absolutely stunning. Thank you for the tip...I often find I take just as long to decide on the sentiment than to actually make the card! Thank you for sharing this beauty x

ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS, my friend! Beautiful, beautiful colors on this wonderful stamp! Acetate is a great idea for trying on sentiments. I usually pull scraps out of the trash can. The acetate can be kept and used over and over. I'll try that! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Hey sweet friend, hope you are on vacation or just taking a break like I did.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, love the stamp you've used. Lovely to meet you on Thursday and hope we can meet up again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment Hazel and for becoming a follower, I have become a follower here too and your blog has come up on my reading list but my profile pic. does not seem to show on your follower list, not sure why. I love this PB stamp and the colours you have used are gorgeous. I have just bought a few brush markers and will try using them to stamp with as yours have worked really well. I love your tip for placing a sentiment to check it is right before stamping so thank you for that too It was really great to meet you and Graham last evening and we had a wonderful time with you all. x
