Fuschia Flower, Damask Card.

Hello Lovelies,

Hope this post finds you all well.   Apologies for not blogging recently but many other things to do lol!  but I'm back again!      There is a touch of Spring in the air just now I feel, although there is a chilly wind.   Lovely to hear the birds singing and the pretty little snowdrops are flowering profusely, always a herald that Spring is not too far away.   This afternoon I have a card for you which I made in October 2018.   I have used one of Imagination Craft's beautiful flower background stamps, their Damask stencil which is so useful and I have just used the corner of the design and the gorgeous, most used, of all my Starlight paints....White/Gold.      

 Make a square base card from hammered cream card.   Matt and layer a smaller square of black card onto the base card.   Cut a slightly smaller square of white card and colour using the  Imagination Craft's  Fuschia and Dark Brown Spray Inks.

 
When dry, lay the corner design of the Damask stencil onto the top right corner and stipple the white/gold paint through the design, using a stencil brush.   Lift off the stencil and repeat this on the bottom left corner.

   
Make two paper masks to cover each stencilled corner, then stamp the flower background stamp in the top left corner, using a black inkpad.   Using the same stamp, repeat this in the bottom right corner, joining up the flower dots with the previous flower dots.

   Using the left over coloured card, stipple parts of the stencil onto it, using the white/gold Starlight paint and a stencil brush.   From this, die-cut the flowers using Tim Holtz Alterations Decorative strip.   3D the flowers using silicone glue under some of the petals to add a little dimension to the flowers.   Glue the large flower in the centre of the larger upper stamped square,

 and the smaller flower in the centre of the smaller square.

Glue a black gemstone to the centre of each flower.   Using a small circle punch, punch out 15 tiny circles from the fuschia and gold left over card.   Glue these in position as per the photograph below and the top left corner as shown on main photo at the top of this page.

 
Finally glue this card onto the base card and the card is finished.

 
Hope you like it.   Thank you for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog,  much appreciated.   Take care of yourselves.   Cheerio for now, see you all again quite soon.   Hopefully not quite so long next time lol!!!
