We all are missing someone at the moment and just thinking of my loved one’s makes me want to cry. If you have people you cannot get to (near and far), I feel for you and I am sending you the biggest virtual hug ever!
I am still getting the most out the Fine Art Floral Suite so today I am sharing two more cards using the Art Gallery Bundle as well as the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Remember it is SALE-a-bration time!! You earn freebies with a purchase of A$90.00 (some items require a purchase of A$180.00) – buy from our new January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue or our current 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue.
I decided to be brave and pull out the Gilded Leafing Embellishment from the Mini Catalogue (page 33) .
Click on the images for a cart/supply list of the products I used to create the card/s – remember you can choose to purchase the whole Fine Art Floral Suite (save 10%), the Art Gallery Bundle (includes the stamp set and die set, save 10%) or purchase products separately (as listed in my cart).
Winner Challenge #300 CASEing the Catalogue ! Yay!
Be careful when you open the Stampin’ Up! jar, the gold leaf pieces have wings!!! They have a life of their own I tell you! The Stampin’ Up! jar cannot contain those pieces it is so packed full of Gold leaf goodness! I transferred the Gold leaf to a bigger container and found it much easier to handle. These are the steps I used to create the Gilded images (from A Touch of Ink, a SALE-a-bration freebie). Afterwards I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the images.
A stamped the images in Versamark on to Basic White cardstock before covering the stamped images with Heat & Stick Powder.
After melting the Heat & Stick powder with my Heat Tool I applied (using a tweezer) Gold Leafing over ALL of the images.
Next I pressed the Gilded Leafing flat over the images with my fingertips.
I waited for the glue to dry (I would give it 10 or 15 minutes to be sure) and then brushed away the excess leafing with a clean dry paintbrush.
So worth it!
Well I couldn’t stop there, I have one more card to share…
Don’t forget to click on the images for a cart/supply list of the products I used to create the card/s – remember you can choose to purchase the whole Fine Art Floral Suite (save 10%), the Art Gallery Bundle (includes the stamp set and die set, save 10%) or purchase products separately (as listed in my cart).
This card ended up a little ‘messier’ than I hoped for because of my sticky fingers but in the end I thought it gave it a Shabby Chic look. I die cut 2 of the “just want to say” pieces from Basic White cardstock and 1 piece of the floral patterned paper from the DSP and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (because it gives leaves me with a little more ‘wiggle room’ before it dries). I brushed a little of the same glue before adding Gilded Leafing for a distressed look. The sentiment is also finished with Gilded Leafing (follow the steps above) on Vellum cardstock.
I hope I managed enough inspiration for you to try the new Gilded Leafing Embellishment!
