Hi there,
I'm back today to share my first Sparkle N Sprinkle April Reveal card using the Vintage Peony Inspiration Set 930. The two peony sets, by Donna Ellis, are just amazing and can be bought as a bundle, to save a few pennies.
I recently bought a few dies on clearance and this was one of them: the Die'sire Wishing You a Happy Birthday. I started off with a folded 12" x 6" piece of white cardstock and placed the die about a 1/4 of the way down the right side of the cardstock.
The cardstock was placed in the stamp platform and stamped twice with Versafine Claire Morning Mist. It gave a really nice detailed look. These inks show great detail and are embossable, so I heat set with Sparkle (EP107).
I then colored in the image with Copics.
I covered the right hand inside of the card with designer paper from the Meadow Lark Collection, and as the Copics had bled through the front panel I cut a little rectangle of the same paper to apply to the left of the inside. I would later cut a piece of white cardstock and place on the inside right for my birthday message.
Diamond Dust was applied to the center of the peony with Dimensional Glue. I added three Strawberry Coulis Nuvo Jewel Drops and wrapped some pink baker's twine around the spine to finish of my card.
Here is another quick example using this gorgeous image.
I hope you have enjoyed my share today. Below is the list of products used in my card today. The linked items can be purchased on the website and you can use my code ShonaDT10 at checkout for an extra 10% off everything in the store.

ReplyDeleteOH Shona, this is a beauty! Such a striking card! I love the bold lettering across the top - what a FUN die you found! And the luscious paper to match - just a beauty. Love the addition of the NUVO drops - perfect addition! I'm sorry I haven't visited as much - work and school have me swamped! But I think I'm back on a roll now ;) Blessings, dear!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images and beautiful sentiments on these cards. They are fabulous floral designs. And I almost bought that die myself but resisted. Seeing how you used it I wish I had given in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stamps, Love the paper to show off the beautiful stamp and the die, such a lovely card, so is the CAS style card, with the lovely border die.
