Hello and welcome to For The Love of Stamping. My name is Tracie St-Louis and I am from Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for 16 years! It's funny because when I first got my starter kit I never imagined still going strong after 16 years!
I am feeling a bit dramatic today and thought I would put that feeling on paper (or should I say a card). I feel like I am a bit behind in my stamping posts but am happy to share this card that I designed. I think I have created a new technique and am calling it Black Light Technique. It uses a new stamp/die bundle called Artfully Layered. This bundle gives me all the feels for a sunny hot vacation with the ferns and palm-like leaves. I am enjoying playing with it. If I had to categorize this card I would put it in the intermediate to avid crafter category.
- Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black & Shaded Spruce cardstock
- Stamp/die bundle - Artfully Layered
- Stitched Greenery die
- White craft ink and embossing powder
- Purple rhinestones
- Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon
- I started with a base in Gorgeous Grape (8.5" x 5.5" folded in half)
- I embossed a layer of black cardstock with the Stitched Greenery die and adhered it to the card base.
- I die cut 2 outline leaves and 2 of the leaf sprays from Tropical Layers dies.
- Paper piece the green into the center of the purple outline piece and do the same with the purple into the outline of the green leaf.
- Die cut 2 solids leaves from the Tropical Layers dies
- Flip the solid leaves over and adhere the layers from step 3.1
- Assemble all the leaves on the card as shown in the picture above.
- Adhere purple rhinestones (retired Noble Peacock rhinestones) on the card as shown above.
- Emboss sentiment on black cardstock with white ink and embossing powder.
- Fussy cut and adhere with black dimensionals to card front
- Tie a bow with the Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon and adhere to card as shown above with a glue dot.
