LOC Sneak Peek 3 - Fleur de Leaves

Hello again, here we are with Day 3 of the Layers of Color Sneak Peek - how are you enjoying them so far?  Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my Blog, I am so pleased that you are coming and visiting a liking what you see!  Today we are looking at the Fleur de Leaves art stamp set, this set has so much potential and is a favourite of mine.  Again I have two cards to show you and they are quite different from one another, I like the challenge of making different styles and ones that appeal to you, I would love to see your work with Layers of Color.

The first card is more formal, I have stamped one of the images onto CS and cut around it - quite a fiddly process by I usually do this kind of thing while commenting - it can take so long for the comments to process that I get quite a bit cut out....and as it is done in smaller amounts, it is less intense - makes it easier for me!!

I have coloured it with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen, I haven't coloured in solid blocks but blended two colours together, I think this 'mottled' look works well with these Fleur de Leaves.  This has then been attached to Embossed CS, using the Herringbone folder - thanks to my Mum (Lesley aka SuperNan) for running them off for me!!  I love the look of this folder and will add it to my collection ONE DAY!

A torn piece pf DP has been inked and attached across the embossed CS and I have added three brads, attaching another image below, popped up on foam dots.  Vintage Corners have been added to opposite corners, thanks again MUM!!  A girl just can't do without their Mum!! LOL!

That is the first card and now onto the second, this time with a more aged feel....

I used a page from the old Hymnal that I have been given and both distressed and sponged sround the edges with Distressing Ink.  This has been attached to dark blue CS, also distressed.  I have then run a strip of torn embossed DP down each side

The image has been coloured, cut out and popped up onto a Labels 3 Nestibilitie, some of these were sent to me in a RAK from my friend Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) Thanks Sabrina, I love this shape and it works so well here - Nestibilities make card making easier don't they!!  The embellishments are part of a RAK from another dear friend Pam (aka pam124) they are attached to small circles attached with foam dots!

So there you have it, two more cards and one more SNEAK PEEK to be had!
