A simple spotlight


 

Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

Here we are at the start of a new week, hopefully a little bit warmer than last week.  We are starting wedding invitation production this week,  I can't say I'm excited about the thought of all that repetition!  But hopefully the result will bring happiness 😊 

Today's card was an experiment,  I tried a new colour combination: Dried Marigold & Milled Lavender Distress Oxide, its a lovely combination,  it made like a peachy pink where blended together.  I used a circle stencil to blend the circle onto my background,  I let it dry before stamping the flower from the 'Spotlight on Nature' stamp set,  I dusted with anti static before stampin the flower just in case,  as soon as I stamped I added clear embossing powder, Oxide inks cause black ink to go dull,  adding clear embossing brings the intense black back.  It has a lovely shine too. 


You can see the shine here!  

I picked a similar coloured card to create the card base, I stamped the sentiment the sentiment in the bottom corner and finish off with some resin dots. 

I hope that you all have a giid start to the week, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx

    Love your beautiful CAS card, the colour is gorgeous and the blending works really nicely allowing the shine on the stamped flower to stand out beautifully.
    Don’t envy you doing all of the wedding invites - but you did say ‘we’ so hope that means all hands on deck, in which case I m sure you will have a giggle or two. Another one for the memory box 😃
    Had intended to go into the craft room today, but didn’t get there, tomorrow weather permitting I’m being taken out to lunch, I will one of these days get back into crafting!!
    Take an everyone, big hugs.
    Love Brenda xxx
