Detailed Floral Stencilled White on Black

The other day I made this card with embossing paste and a stencil I made with Window Sheet and the Detailed Floral Thinlit. I made a black and white panel at the same time which I've used in today's card.

A touch of Powder Pink brightens up an otherwise monochromatic card

I added the Basic Gray stripes to the Powder Pink layer by temporarily adhering little strips of cardstock to the panel as a mask and sponging with Basic Gray ink. I added a small piece of Basic Gray cardstock under the pink and grey panel to put a full stop under that section.

The card base is made with Whisper White Thick A4 cardstock.
A card suitable for any occasion from birthday to sympathy

I stamped the flowers and foliage from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set with Basic Gray ink onto a mix of Basic Gray and Smoky Slate cardstock pieces and cut them out with the matching Eclectic Layers Thinlits (buy as a bundle to save 10%).

I had already created a mask for the flowers for this card and used it again with embossing paste coloured with a drop of Smoky Slate ink. When the embossing paste was dry, I added some shading by watercolouring with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The faux metal medallion made with silver heat embossing impressed with a
black-inked stamp

To create the faux metallic medallion, I added four layers of silver heat embossing to a small piece of cardstock. Before I heated the fifth (and final) layer, I inked up the stamp with Basic Black ink. While the silver embossing was still warm and soft, I stamped the greeting. Once it was cool, I cut out with one of the Stitched Shapes framelits and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I had some flowers and foliage left over, which I used on the card that I'll share on tomorrow's post.

Thank you for visiting.

Detailed Floral Stencil

I've been having loads of fun searching through my stash of dies for ones that seem suitable for making stencils with pieces of Window Sheet. Today I selected the Detailed Floral Thinlits.

I know the recipient likes to keep things simple, otherwise my inclination would have been to
add some bling to the flower centres!

Having smooshed (yes, I'm sure that's the technical term!) the embossing paste through the stencil onto Crumb Cake cardstock and let it dry, I put the (clean, dry) stencil back in position and used a sponge dauber to apply colour to the floral pattern.

I layered the piece onto Very Vanilla and Fresh Fig panels and adhered it to the front of my Crumb Cake card base.

The greeting is stamped onto Very Vanilla with Berry Burst ink. The label shape is stamped with Fresh Fig ink and the label cut with the matching die from the Rose Garden thinlits.

I used the stencil and sponge daubers to decorate the inside of the card to match.

I used the same stencil and inks to decorate the inside of the card

Can you keep a secret? I'll be posting this card on Monday to someone who's initials are KB - the person who introduced me to the world of Stampin' Up! and who heads up the Crazy Crafters team - ssshhhhh!

Thank you for your visit.

Detailed Floral - Eggplant & Copper

I have entered this card into the International Blog Highlight held by Kylie Bertucci. The theme this time is Random Acts of Kindness / Encouragement. Click here to see all the amazing projects and vote for your favourites (from 6.30pm AEST).

For sheer elegance, it's hard to beat the Detailed Floral Thinlits (and matching suite of products!).

In search of a quick but elegant card, I decided to case one of my earlier cards and came up with this. I'm quite fond of the combination of purple and copper.

The Copper Foil adds a beautiful rich sheen

To make the Very Vanilla mat for the banner, I placed the banner die on the cardstock and drew around the outside with a pencil. I then cut along the pencil line, which I erased when I had finished. I attached the banner with Dimensionals.

The little pink roses and Mint Macaron leaves, I created with the gorgeous Paisley Framelits dies - I've included a little tutorial at the end of this post.

The roses add a lot of dimension to the card

The Elegant Eggplant square card is 5.5" square. The Copper Foil layer is 5" square and the decorative panel is 4 7/8".
