DT: Addicted to stamps and more – die cuts/stencils #470

I’m back with another design team contribution for Addicted to stamps and more where the challenge is die cuts/ stencils. And on this card i used a few die cuts.

Let’s start from the back up … I die cut the large leafy background panel die from Honey Doo. It’s slightly larger than the card blank I added it to but I just trimmed it down after adhering in place. This gave some interest to the background.

Then I chose a piece of inky background I had made. It’s lots of yellows and greens and all smooshed together. I added a green edge to the panel but otherwise left it as it was.

I found in the stash the gold laser cut panel and adhered that down to create another layer of leaves.

Then I grabbed the Altenew Eclectic bouquet stamp and white embossed the image. Then I watercoloured it loosely using pinks and greens I thought would work with that background.

Then I embossed it, and wow what texture! The 3d embossing folders are just amazing!

I added that onto the main topper and then decided to place that top right on the card so that the leaves could trail off the topper.

Finishing it was easy … a stamped and die cut sentiment from Waffleflower, an embroidery floss bow and then some gold gems!

Perfect!

Inside I stamped the image again this time using pink and added one of the sentiments from the same set.

A really pretty card!

Pleased with this and all the layers … and that embossing folder is just glorious! ❤️

Happy crafting!
