Gilded Leafing with Embossing Folders

Greenery Embossing Folder highlighted with Gilded Leafing Embellishment flakes

As you'll have seen from my previous posts (see here, here and here) - the Gilded Leafing Embellishment is so much fun to use that I've been spending time exploring possibilities - the truth is, I just can't stop!

So, today it's all about combining those gorgeous gold flakes with some embossing folders.

The card above features one of the Greenery embossing folders.  I simply cut the Seaside Spray cardstock to size and then embossed the top and the bottom.

Then I added some Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the raised areas, left it to reach the tacky stage and then added the Gilded Leafing.  It's the first time (in about 20 years!) that I've used the flat applicator end of the glue!  It's easy to do and, even though it doesn't produce perfection, I rather like the rustic result.

I stamped the butterfly with glue and adhered more of the gold flakes before cutting it out with the coordinating punch.  I applied liquid glue to the body of the butterfly and mini dimensionals under the wings to adhere it to the card front.

I used Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off, for the greeting and used the Stitches So Sweetly Dies to cut the labels using Very Vanilla and vellum cardstock.

I used the same processes for the second card but with the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.

Christmas Gleaming Parisian Layers

Another day .... another distraction!  That's how it seems to be going for me at the moment - and this is why .....

A distracting game of hide n' seek in my light box!

Game over, this cute little boy decided to pose

They're 8 months old now.  I heard a noise behind me and found them playing hide & seek in my light box - they obviously feel photogenic!  They're cute and funny, full of energy and curiosity, somewhat naughty but cuddly and affectionate - great companions and incredible time wasters!  I don't seem to get much done these days!

Well - back to cards!  This is a simple but elegant Christmas card.

It's not necessarily a Christmas embossing folder but I think the Parisian Flourish embossing really complements the decoration on the bauble.

It's a great card for using up bits and pieces.

The image is gold heat embossed on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I sponged the edges of the bauble with some Gray Granite ink and then punched it out with the coordinating punch.

I used Gray Granite ink to stamp the holly image onto a bit of Very Vanilla Cardstock and then coloured with Pretty Peacock and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  I darkened the markings on the leaves with a Stampin' Write Marker.

I tied a doubled piece of the gold thread from the Forever Greenery trim combo to the top of the bauble (I made a hole with my Take Your Pick tool) and then attached the holly. I attached this with dimensionals to a Very Vanilla Stitched Shape (it was leftover from a previous project) which in turn had been attached to a square of Pretty Peacock cardstock.

The base card is Pretty Peacock and I added a Very Vanilla layer that had been embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder.

Thank you for visiting.

So Much Love for Black & Gold

Black & Gold card featuring the Parisian Flourish embossing folder & So Much Love stamp set

Well, the black and gold on Friday's card inspired me to look for some more things to do with that combination (which is one of my favourites!).

So I embossed some black cardstock with the Parisian Flourish embossing folder, first swiping the inside of the folder with Versamark ink.  After the run through the embossing machine, I added the gold embossing powder and heated it.

Then I gold heat embossed the images from the So Much Love stamp set onto a piece of black cardstock and cut it out with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I added some layers of Gold Foil Sheet and a bow of Boho Indigo Medley ribbon ... et voila!

Thank you for visiting.

Painted Poppy Textures - A 90th Birthday Card

A bright card with textures for someone with little sight

This card is for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday.  She has very little sight now and so I've tried to incorporate textures and bright colours.

I watercoloured the poppy using the same method as outlined here.

I resorted to my retired little numbers dies for the age statement.

Sadly, it won't be the celebratory occasion that we had hoped for but as she often says "this too shall pass".

Thank you for visiting.
