Celebrate with Tulips.....

Hi everyone, popping in today to share with you my latest card.

  I have had another play with one on my favorite stamp sets by Penny Black - Blooming Garden .  This time I  have coloured up the Tulip stamp and have kept it fairly plain.

I have also used from Penny Black the Celebrations die set for my sentiment, another favourite go to.

There are lots of new items recently added to the store, and the current sale has been extended, so drop on by and check out  the latest additions.  There is also still time let to join in our latest Anything Goes Challenge.

Until next time, Happy Crafting

Distress Inks + Sizzix Thinlits - Mixed Media #2

Hi there friends! Shaz here -  with another DT post for Bizzy Bec's Online craft store.
Here's a peek...

 

Items used - all are Pre-order
Distress Inks-

Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Dried Marigold, Cracked Pistachio, Fired Brick

Impression Obsession hugs die

Spellbinders Labels 28 - used largest die 

Pre-Order Sizzix Thinlits Die -Mixed Media #2
Watercolour paper

 

 Tested die combination on scrap cardstock before launching into good cardstock, to get position and size. Then marked it on the main card piece with pencil, and rubbed out later.

Using the Distress inks as listed above, I smooched them generously over the water colour cardstock do more than you think you'll need as I had to re-ink it. Then spritz the back of paper with water so it stays flat while you add water and glimmer or shimmer mist to top of ink. Allow to dry. Added spatters of ink to top card die cut; assembled card as below..

Layering up hugs die three pieces with double sided tape, used my usual system of adding layers while still in base sheet.. to keep it all in place.

Finished card -  pop it up on foam tape, added pearls to compliment the shimmery card stock on base. More details on my blog post.

Now don't forget to pop over  HERE at Bizzy Bec's and check out the other DT gorgeous creations, and please do join in ANYTHING GOES AUGUST CHALLENGE - to win that prize.
