Hydrangea Tag Card

Hello folks, hope you are all doing ok. This card I have for you today was made with a stamp plate from Elusive Images. The background was created using a brayer and then embossed with the silver butterfly design from the stamp set. The main hydrangea design was stamped onto acetate and then the reverse side was covered with double sided sticky plastic. Once in place I peeled the back off to reveal the sticky side and then dabbed Ranger Perfect Pearl powders to colour the image from the reverse. I then cut around the image using a sizzix tag die. The small butterflies were also stamped onto the acetate and coloured in the same manner as the hydrangea tag. The background tag was put through a cuttlebug embossing folder that had been inked with a brayer before putting the paper in. When you run it through the cuttlebug machine the ink transfers to the debossed side. I love this technique as it gives your embossing folders another use. A Martha Stewart punch was used along the decorative panel and it was stamped using the corner stamp from the same Elusive Images stamp plate. The sentiment is from the stamp plate and the card was finished off with silver ribbon and the odd dab of crystal Stickles glue.

Hope you like......until the next time, tatty bye.

More Cakes

Like I said in my previous post I love these cupcakes from Creative Expressions. The centre panel cake has been triple embossed onto a piece of mountboard. I used clear embossing powder but mixed in some pink perfect pearl powder. I think it almost looks like icing, really yummy! The cakes along the edge have been painted using the Ranger Perfect Pearl powders mixed with water. The background has been created using a piece of tissue that has been dipped in the paint mixture and dabbed across the card.

Tree Landscape

Hope you are all ok on this rather dull Wednesday afternoon.
I created this tree card with one of Sheena Douglass' stamp sets which have been produced by creative expressions. The base card has been stamped with the little foliage stamps from the set which have been stamped using greens and browns from the Distress Ink range. The tree panel was painted with water and then a selection of Ranger Perfect Pearl powders were applied to the wet background. Once dry the tree was stamped with brown versa fine ink and then decorated with the foliage stamps which come with the set. I tried to make the ground look like the ground by swishing a brown distress ink pad across the page and there you have it - one simple tree card.
