I tried the Delft Technique

 

Good Wednesday Morning Ladies, 

I hope today finds you well,  I also hope that you have been treated to the same glorious sunshine as we have, its so much nicer and easier to put colours together in the natural sunlight that streams through my craft room window.  

I thought I would try something different for today's card, so after a brief browse on pin I decided to have a go at the 'Delft' or 'Tile' technique,  I  started by cutting my card to 5 x 4 inch, a little smaller than usual so it worked out for scoring equally. I then scored at 1 inch intervals across the card, rotate and repeat.  I then placed it in my stamp tool with debossed side facing up, so the bumpy side of Embossing down, I then  stamped the floral spray from the stamp set I bought on Facebook marketplace for £5 !! 

I stamped the large floral spray in Navy ink,  the stamping misses the voids made by the embossing giving the effect of tiles.  I stamped and fussy cut the Hummingbird and added into the sentiment strip, I added a tiny diamante for his eye. 

Now I did another piece before this one and covered with Versamark and clear embossing powder and heat set, to try and give effect of ceramic (glazed) tile, but I didn't think it looked as good as the unglazed one.  I went with blue as it reminded me of the huge blue and white plates my Nan had on her shelves in the kitchen. 

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra
