So Beautifully Framed

Hello friends - I have created a card to share today using some of the Die cuts and images that gather on my desk (referred to as UFOs - Un-Finished Objects) - some of them are favourites, retired but will always have a place in my Studio!


I have used a retired images from Layers of Color - my first Design Team - the images are by the very talented and so lovely Laura Kirste Campbell.  I have always loved these stamps and find the whole range so inspiring - it was an amazing time for me.  Laura is a wonderful mentor and friend.


I have handmade the flower using Spellbinders Scalloped Circles LG and Standard Circles SML - a lot of layering and scrunching - but I am happy with the way it turned out.  I used to do all of my flowers like this - but now I have many amazing flower Dies, but it is good to return to basics sometimes.  The flower has been glued to the centre of the stamped image.


The image has been stamped using Imagine Menento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Chameleon Pens and after being Die Cut has been adhered to  pre-cut Die - one I was sent I believe.  A strip of lace has been adhered to the card front and precut card base using the Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies.  The layered image has been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. 

The Want2Scrap Lecreme Pearls have been coloured using Chameleon Pens and adhered as shown in the main photo - along with the silver embellishment.
