The last of Happiest of Days (for a while)

Good morning and guess who is feeling a lot better today, yeah.  My cold is getting easier, I am not coughing so much and I am not so tired, all good news.

Here is one of the Thank You cards for the month of September.

Again I have used the Happiest of Days stamp set with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst as well as the One Big Meaning stamp set.  I started with piece of Very Vanilla Card

With Old Olive Ink I stamped the vine of leaves across the bottom

Then the largest of the flowers from the set was stamped in the middle of the leaves, using Archival Black Ink.

Using Berry Burst and one of the Thank You stamps from One Big Meaning, the sentiment was stamped in the middle.

Lots of large flowers were then stamped out on another piece of card and coloured in using the ink from the lid of the inkpad.  If you dont have any ink in your lid, just squeeze the ink pad (when closed) so that some ink gets transfered into the lid.  This can then be used to paint in the flowers with a paint brush and some water.

 Colour in the flower on the front of the card

Colour in the leaves, big and small, with Lemon Lime Twist pen

 

 

Cut out the large coloured flowers

Adhere the stamped image onto Lemon Lime Twist card and then stick both of those to a Berry Burst Card base or the other way round, a Berry Burst mat stuck to a Lemon Lime Twist card.

Using 3 D Dots, stick the cut out flowers to the front of the card 

 Go over the flower with the Wink of Stella Clear Pen to give it a shimmer

Dont forget to add 3 sequins which are currently available on the Clearance Rack

 If you would like more information about making this card or anything else craft related please do get in touch.

If you are free tomorrow during the day or fancy a bit of crafting tomorrow evening please call in, the kettle will be on all day and it would be lovely to see you. 

Thanks for having a ready and wishing you a lovely Thursday.  Tracey x
