Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
For this card I used an A4 piece of card and a Tim Holtz stencil colouring through this with Distress Oxides making some areas thicker and fading the colour in others.
The left-over part of this card are the Kim Dellow Flowers which I had stamped some time ago but not used them all.
I began by preparing the mats to fit the inside and fold of the large card and two pieces for the smaller card.
The next stage is to prepare the card blanks.
The small card is 4"x4" and the large one 7"x7". I have folded the front of the large card back on itself to make a concertina style.
Colour the edges with a matching Distress ink using a blending tool.
I stamped the sentiment on the small card using a Paper Artsy stamp by Zinski Art and mounted the mats in place.
Next I played around with the flowers to decide on a suitable arrangement and cut and layered a few of these to give a little more depth to them.
Once I had finished the placement of the flowers I added some Stickles Glitter Glue to add the sparkle.
I have left the inside blank at this stage as this card would be suitable for a variety of greetings and I do like to have a few cards at the ready.
Hope you enjoyed watching me make this card, it's one of my favourite styles.
Many thanks for stopping by.
