Use up a magazine kit #7

Not had any posts the last few days as life has been so busy and not had much time to create (apart from my index card moments) but today I have managed to get this sorted and uploaded from my latest play with the magazine kit. So check out YouTube for the video of me putting this together.

The last card I made using the kit I stamped two of the fuschia images and never got round to using the second image so I had to use that for the next card in the series – mainly because I needed to use the stamp platform and couldn’t whilst the stamp was still in there in the right place for stamping embossing after colouring!

So I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and then embossed with the gold. This time I decided to die cut the image out with the oval stitched shape die rather than use the coordinating die from the kit.

I then took the same patterned paper as last time but the reverse side and decided to add texture and the text with more gold embossing. I then tore the edges of the panel for a different look and edged it with the navy.

I then adhered that to the base which I had made from a lilac cardstock.

I die cut a few more of the ovals from the lilac and stacked them under the floral oval to give it some dimension.

I then chose to add a foiled and die cut sentiment from the stash rather than using the kit – mainly as I was short on time making this card so went for the grab and go element instead!

I added some pink glitter gems from my stash to then finish off.

All that embossing in the background gives interest to the paper and of course ties in with the embossed focal element. Love it!

Happy crafting!
