'Friendship Fuchias.'

 Hi there Lovelies, hoping everything is well with you.   It is so lovely to have the lighter nights now, just wish we had a little more sunshine lol !     Our snowdrops and crocuses have finished flowering now but our daffodils are still blooming.    Today I have a card made using gold embossing powder, MDF Chalk paints, spray inks, metallic paint.    The  stamps were from my craft stash which were from Imagination Crafts a few years ago.   Hope you like it.    Some of you may already have these products in your craft stash, or you may have similar stamps in your stash you could use instead.

Using the text stamp, stamp the text down the left and right-hand sides of a 7" x 7" ready folded, white base card using a black ink pad.

Dry brush the lavender and blue MDF chalk paints lightly over the top of the stamping to dull down the black ink a little.   Add touches of white gesso in places.   Put the base card to one side for the moment and we will concentrate on the large circle. 

Colour another piece of white card with both of the MDF chalk paints, adding touches of white gesso.

Using a wine cork, stamp three circles with the white gesso on the left of the piece of card..

 

 Stamp the large Fuchsia design in the top right corner, using a black ink pad. and the 'friends are...' sentiment to the left of the Fuchsia image  and the flourishes below the sentiment, both using a black ink pad.

 From this piece of card, die-cut a 6" circle, incorporating all the stamped images.   Colour around the edge of the circle with a little black soot distress ink.      Matt this circle onto a slightly larger circle of white card and glue this onto the main base card we put aside earlier.

Colour the leaves on the Fuchsia by mixing some yellow and light blue spray inks (spray the inks together on a glass worktop),  making green.   Paint the tops of the Fuchsias with the blue rose metallic paint and the petals with watered down light purple spray ink, adding a touch of the blue rose metallic paint.

Add some gold pen to the ends of each flourish.   Colour some white card with the blue green metallic paint and stamp the small butterfly using a Versamark embossing pad, then heat emboss with the gold embossing powder.   Repeat this 3 more times.

Stamp the butterfly again on the left, just inside the circle and again in the bottom right corner of the base card, heat embossing in gold as previously.   Cut out and  3D the butterflies onto the original stamped images on the circle and base card, using silicone glue.

Add some dots to the left and right sides of the circle using a black pen and the card is finished.

Hope you like it.   Thanks so much for stopping by my blog...........much appreciated.   Catch you all again soon.   Take care of yourselves till then and Happy crafting.
