Hello Friends!
Today I am very happy and honored to be the Guest Designer here at The House That Stamps Built for the “Pick of the Week” post. I will be showing you how to combine stamping, dry embossing and die cutting together in one card.
I started making my card by stamping the gorgeous stamp from the Beautiful Days Collection called Water Lilies & Dragonflies onto Neenah Solar White paper with black ink.
I also stamped the Dragonfly Deco stamp onto the paper with black ink.
I got some extra ink on the paper, but I plan on fussy cutting out the images so my boo boo will not be seen on my card.
I colored in the images with Copic markers.
I started by coloring in the water lilies.
I colored in the dragonflies.
I colored in the background water.
I colored in the Dragonfly Deco image.
I applied some Moonstone Spectrum Sparkle pen to the dragonflies to add some sparkle to the wings.
I fussy cut out both images. I took some Black Shimmer paper and a stitched circle die and cut out the circle.
I glued the Water Lilies & Dragonflies to the black circle. I then took some gray paper, a pebbles embossing folder and ran that thru my Vagabond and then I used some Weathered Wood distress ink and rubbed that on top of the embossing to make a patio around the pond.
I added the embossed and inked panel to a A2 white card base and then I added the lily pond on the black shimmer paper to the card. I took some green paper and cut out the hello die.
I added the green hello and the fussy cut Dragonfly Deco image to the card. This is what my card looks when I finished it.
I love the way this turned out! When I saw this stamp it reminded me of a park my daughter and I visited where they had a koi pond in the middle of the park and it was filled with water lilies, dragonflies and koi fish! Such a relaxing place to visit!
Here are the stamps that I used… 9204-M Water Lilies & Dragonflies and 4405-K Dragonfly Deco.
Thanks for stopping by!
