Sophisticated Lady.

Hello there Followers, Friends and Visitors,

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas.   I would just like to send my thoughts  to all  those who are having flooding troubles,  my heart goes out to you all.   Let's hope the new year brings you better times.
I apologise for not blogging of late but I'm back now lol! so let's get going again!     Tonight's card was made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Crafts, for their  tv show on Hochanda earlier this month.   I have used their Black Stars Sparkle Medium and their gorgeous Beautiful Blossom stencil.

   
Fold the cream card down the centre crease line, making an 8"x8" base card.   Matt a square of black card onto the base card, leaving a border of the cream base card showing.

    
Take a slightly smaller piece of cream hammered card and lay the stencil onto it, securing it with some masking tape.   Spread the Black Stars Sparkle Medium over the design, using the metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

    
Colour around the edges of the stencilled card with the distress inks, using a blending tool.  

   
Add a touch of black soot ink around the outer edges.    Matt this onto the base card.    Die-cut the flowers and paint with the Orange Oxidized Starlight Paint, then glue in position on the base card.

  

  
Glue a black gemstone to the centre of each flower and lastly, add a little pink/red distress ink to her cheeks.

Well that's it for now my friends, may I take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Happy New Year when it arrives, lots of good health and much happiness.   I'll be back soon.   In the meantime, take good care of yourselves.

                                                                    Love and rainbows,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx.
