Hi everyone, today I would like to share the card I made for my husband’s aunt’s birthday. As she is close family I like to make a bigger card than usual, and this Julie Hickey floral stamp is pretty large so perfectly suited to the task at hand. I have previously coloured this stamp with bright, vibrant colours, so I decided this time to ring the changes and go for pastel hues with some metallic glimmer, shimmer and glitter!
I cut a piece of white card 19.5cm x 13.5cm, and stamped and heat embossed the focal image using a fuchsia pink embossing glitter. I coloured the flowers with watered down and mixed pink, red and blue Posca sparkle pens topped with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, then coloured the leaves and flower centres with watered down gold metallic Posca pen. When dry I added some white Posca dots to the flower centres, stamped the sentiment in Hawthorn Rose VFC, then die cut and attached the dragonfly. I matted the finished panel into gold and pink mirror card (the pink really doesn’t show up in the photograph!) and a C5 card blank.
