Two Posts in One ...

Hi Everybody,

Because of the change in my Tuesday Tutorial and the Water Colour Wednesday this week I thought it may be a good idea to combine the two and create a card with some water coloured flowers. 

I have used Spellbinders dies for my design and the flowers are bright and cheerful.

Spellbinders Supplies:

• S6-002 6x6 Matting Basics B
• SD5-224 Victorian Medallions Three
• SDS-012 Floral Divine Stamp & Dies Set
• SEL-002 Gridiron Embossing Folder
• PL-001 Platinum Die Cutting Machine

Other Supplies:

• Rose pink and white card from Papermill Direct
• Gansai Tambi water Colours
• Water Colour Card
• Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen
• Foam pads of varying thicknesses

Instructions:

With the largest die #8 from the Matting Basics cut two panels and create a hinged card

Hand cut a slightly smaller layer in rose pink to leave a thin border around the edges

Cut another layer in white, again leaving a small border,  and emboss in the folder.

(The card will be wider than the folder so emboss most of it and then move the card along to emboss the remainder.

 Partially cover the folder with the embossing plate and run through the machine. 

The pattern is busy enough not to notice any discrepancies in it )

Glue the two layers together and add to the base card with foam tape between to give dimension

With the solid die to Medallions Three cut one piece in rose pink and then with both parts together cut a filigree layer in white

Add these two together with foam pads between the layers and then more foam on the back of the pink card

Stamp, colour and cut as many flowers and leaves as you would like for your card

I stamped the sentiment twice and then used the banner die to cut each word separately 

Add the Medallions layer to the card and place a pearl in each corner

Arrange the flowers in the centre panel as you like them and use foam pads of varying thicknesses under them and the leaves.
 Keep two of the smaller flowers to one side

Add foam to the banners and arrange on the flowers then add the smaller flowers so that they just overlap the banners.
Add a little shading to the banners to make them look curved

Lightly add the glitter pen to the flowers for a little sparkle

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
