Hello and welcome back crafty friends! Today I am sharing a card made with one of the newest digi releases for November from RachelVassDesigns called Bountiful Blooms. This set is filled with beautiful blooms including a background image, a slimline version and different sentiments perfect for this season of gratitude. I used the background image for my card today. Shall we get started?
To create my card I started by printing off the background image on a piece of mix media paper and the sentiment on some ivory cardstock using my laser printer. I knew from the beginning that this needed to be covered with some gold foil, so off I went next with gold foil in hand. I trimmed sown the gold foil just slightly larger than my cardstock and sent it through my preheated Minc machine twice. I allowed it to cool for about 30 seconds and then peeled back the foil and marvelled at the beauty that is a gold foiled image..it gets me everytime! It truly is a thing of beauty!
Next I coloured in the flowers with some green Copic markers/ I didn't
do any fancy colouring nor blending. Just some simple light flecks with
the the markers and a bit of some very light blending. Once I had all
the flowers as I wanted them I went in with some Distress Ink blending.
I grabbed beige/grey colour that kind of has an earthy tone to it, as
that is the look I was going for. I added gave the piece a few sprays
of water using my Distress Sprayer, which gives you kind of random drops
of water...both big and small. I left the water drops on for about 20
secs...the longer you leave them, the more water they will lift.
To finish it I diecut the background using a stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn and used a smaller one for the sentiment. I adhered the background piece directly to the cardbase and added some craft foam behind the sentiment. And that's it!
I hope you have enjoyed my card for today, as much as I enjoyed making it. This new digi set is now available in Rachel's Etsy shop. Make sure you head on over and grab a set for yourself. I guarantee you won't be disapointed!
Thank you so very much for stopping by today and spending a bit of your day with me. I hope you all have a most wonderful day and take some time to be crafty!
Until next time!
Thank you, Michelle 😄
