DT: Kingston Crafts – Everyday cardstock

I did spot this card in a panning shot on the tv … it was cool to keep yelling out to the family (I made them all watch!) “I made that!”

It was featuring the fab Everyday cardstock kit.

I decided to make up a floral card which is my usual go to!

I started with just some strips of the pinks and purples and then decided on the pale grey base. I made up the front panel and then die cut the oval before putting it back in place and deciding to emboss the embossing for the full panel.

With the folder I chose it made it quite vintage and the added clear emboss worked well at enhancing the colour of the cardstock without too much of an obvious pattern.

I then stamped and white heat embossed flowers from the Altenew Smile more set straight onto the grey cardstock. I then used my distress oxides to watercolour the images.

This gave them a lovely finish and I was pleased with how well the cardstock coped with the bit of watercolouring. I die cut all the pieces out ready to assemble some floral clusters.

I decided that the oval needed to be smaller to have the grey poke through so I die cut it again and then adhered everything into place. I did raise the largest of flowers onto foam adhesive.

I added some clear gems around the sentiment that I also raised onto foam adhesive to give it some dimension.

Inside the card I added a panel of white and then used the oval frame I had left to cut in half and adhere to the inside to give it a little interest!

Love how this card came together and it was fun to stamp and colour images on grey rather than white for a change.

Happy crafting!
