Hello all, Kia here with you today.
I am doing double duty today by hosting a challenge which is to use vellum in your design. I thought it would be nice to use vellum on the cards I was designing during this time.
In each of my designs I have used Gina K. Designs Winter Flower stamp and die sets.
For this card, on my card base I brushed on colour, first the Squeezed Lemonade, then the Twisted Citron, blending as I went along, keeping in mind where my flower would be on the card.
Using my Stitched Stackers die I die cut a panel piece, then taped on the Winter Flower die where I would like it. Using my manual Spellbinders die cutting machine I lined the flower die up to the edge of the machine platform where I wanted it cut, with the flower towards the machine, and ran the piece through. I then trimmed from the edges toward the flower on a diagonal with my scissors.
Putting the pieces side by side I splattered with Midas Touch Aqua Shimmering pens. I love the sparkle it adds along with the faint gold colour. I then stamped the sentiment using Fern Green ink.
To put it all together I brushed on the same colours to the edges of the flower piece and cut lines, then added foam squares to the panel, and attached it to the card base.
I added the vellum flower, which had been stamped and heat embossed with gold embossing powder, to the flower area. The cardstock underlay acts like another flower layer to the vellum flower.
And, for a bit more sparkle I added sequins and gems.
Here is a picture of the card I did for my other project in case you are interested.
And, for a totally different look I did this card.
Thank you for joining me today. Following are Affiliate Links to the products I used on the first card, which are almost the same for all the cards.
