It's Your Birthday.....' a 'Sneaky Peek.'

Good evening All,

I know, two posts in one day I hear you say lol!   well the time for Imagination Craft's shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel is getting ever closer lol!!   Yeah!    tomorrow!!   not long to wait.   Hope you can tune in.   The first show is at 11am. then at 2pm. and again at 5pm.  so I thought I'd show you another card before the show tomorrow.

The sneaky peek I have for you tonight was made using a stencil, Sparkle Mediums and a tag die.   Working on a ready creased cream base card, matt a smaller square of purple paper onto it.   Take a slightly smaller piece  of white card and spray with the Light purple, Red,  Green & White Mixed Media Inks and leave to dry.

  
When dry lay the leaves stencil onto it and spread the turquoise Sparkle Medium over the design, using the metal spatula, then remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

   
The above is the stencil I have used.   I always try to think  'outside the box' so to speak, what else can I do with this stencil, how else can it be used.   Well I decided to use the individual leaves to make some flowers.   Hope you like it.

When the image is dry, matt this onto the purple paper.   Take more white card and spread some turquoise Sparkle Medium over the leaves design on the stencil and then remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

    
Do the same with some Amethyst Sparkle Medium and when they are dry, cut out each leaf separately.   Make two large flowers, 3D ing the leaves in alternative colours, ie: one amethyst then one turquoise, then glue one to the top left and one to the bottom centre.

   

   
Trim some of the spare  leaves to make them smaller but still keeping the leaf shape and make a smaller flower in the same way.

  
Die-cut a tag from cream card using the Spellbinder's die and colour through the die, using the milled lavender distress ink.   Stamp the text onto the tag using the Stream Adirondak ink pad.   Fix the tag to the top right of the card, using sticky foam pads.

  
Glue the small  ( leaf)   flower to the bottom of the tag and glue a pearl in each flower centre and an oblong pearl on the tag.

Well that's this card finished,  thanks for taking the time to check out my blog, hope you have enjoyed your visit.    I will be back again in a few days.     Please don't forget to watch Sue from Imagination Crafts on Hochanda T.V. tomorrow.    See you all soon.
