Hi Everybody,The sentiment on this card has been stamped onto parchment and embossed in white ... and then curved around the panel to raise it from the base
The verse is from Sheena Douglass and is one of several on her Little Bit Sketchy range
The background has been done in Purple, Emerald Green and Ultra marine Brusho Crystal Colours.
These Crystals are so much fun to play with and no two panels will ever be the same.
Over the top of the background I have stamped with Versamark and heat embossed the butterflies with white powder
I have added in some of my baked Ikea dots and layered the coloured panel with lilac card onto a white base.
The finished effect is very vibrant and I am quite pleased with the way this card has turned out.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Morning Christina, a gorgeous card love these blues and purples and your ikea dots.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Christina. Love the colours and the brusho effect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card! The sentiment is lovely but th e vibrant colors offset against the white embossed butterflies is quite striking. My husband recently came across a stack of parchment paper. He set a bunch aside for me. I appreciate seeing how you have used it here. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletevery pretty.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christina. Love the colours.
ReplyDeletelove this card. did you versamark and emboss after the brusho or did you use a resist and do it before? and can I be so bold as to ask why, from an artists point of view? thanks
ReplyDeleteFantastic explosion of colours, love it. X Ros
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christina. I love this technique. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi, Christina,
ReplyDeleteI really like today's card. The background is so colourful and the embossed butterflies really stand out. I found out that if you want even bigger 'pearls' you can use pony beads. They melt the same as the Ikea ones but are bigger to begin with. I really enjoyed 'cooking' the ones you sent and was really pleased that they didn't stink when they were hot lol.

Good Morning Christina :) Beautiful card this morning! Wanted to share... I found some beautiful vellum card stock at paperandmore.com. The pack I got came in 100 sheets for like $21/22 dollars something like that. Also, I picked up a tidbit on glueing vellum.... yes, glue. Elmers Craft Bond Glue Stick. It worked great on the vellum card stock.... couldn't see a hint of glue over a garnet piece of card stock. I was amazed. However, the glue does show through on vellum sheets.... like the kind you get at Hobby Lobby, the thinner stuff. Also, I purchased a little bag (1000 beads) of white Perler beads at Joanns. Will try baking them soon and then I can color them as I need them. It's raining cats and dogs here in Gaylord, Michigan today. I think I need to do some crafting! Big Hugs. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card,love the colours.xxx

ReplyDeleteChristina, I love the colors on this card. The beads are great. The brusho crystal colirs look like fun to use. Think it will be awhile before I can add more product however I so enjoy all you do.
ReplyDeleteTo Donna- where are the white perler beads at Joannes found? Wondering if you tried using them yet? I am close to a Joannes. Thanks for the tip on the vellum and the Elmers craft Bond Glue Stick.
Is the parchment paper the same I get at the grocery store or Costco on a roll in a box? ~blessings, Louise
Love the lock of this card....Will have to check out the crystals sometime. Have not seen them yet.
