I cut out the outline for
my candles, inked it with Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed a
few times. Adhered it to watercolor paper (cheapie brand). Colored
it with Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils and a waterbrush filled
with a mix of Iridescent medium and water. Gives it a nice gentle
shimmer. When dry, I flicked the petals with a Quickie Glue pen and
sprinkled Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter "Warm Highlights". Then I
cut around my design. PS I tried making a matching solid image on my
cutter, but it wouldn't give me the match I wanted, there was always
something off... So hand cutting worked best this time. Tied a
couple green/gold edge mini bows and adhered them to the leaves
using my heat gun to melt the embossing and then pressing my bow
into the hot area.
I scored my card the
usual way for the first score line. Then I scored the front piece in
half and folded it back, so the inside basically became the outside.
Stamped the sentiment
words as one block of text the way the stamp came to me... (mine is
all cut up, but I don't cut away where I make my cuts so I can match
the whole thing up perfectly...). I used Versafine Toffee, stamping
several times to fill the front piece and embossed with Queen's
Gold. Sponged Distress Evergreen Bough all over and then wiped the
text with a paper towel.
Made a paper cut out of
the candles to use as a stencil on the inside. Positioned my candles
where I wanted them to land. held it in place while I put the
stencil down, matching my candles, held that in place and removed my
candles, taping down my stencil so it wouldn't accidently move...
Stamped the quote with
the black and clear embossed. Lightly sponged Distress yellow, red &
green through the stencil to give a hint of the shape. Removed the
stencil and sponged the edges of the card with the green and touched
it with some Pumice. |
Adhered the candles to
the front matching my inside design. Added some red rhinestones for
flower centers.
As a final touch added
the gold ribbon as a border |
