White card, Dark pink patterned paper, script patterned paper, pink gingham paper; scissors, foam tape


I wanted to bring new life to a very large pale pink flower I have had in my stash for some time, I started by inking the edges using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink in Angel Pink, followed by Rose Bud - concentrating on the outer edge of the petals.




Using the Precious Metals Premium Craft Foils Assortment in gold.  Cut/emboss one (1) Dresses Two Spellbinders® Media Mixáge™ Blank.  Emboss this using the Grate Works Two  Spellbinders® Media Mixáge™ Texture Plate.  Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® - EZ Runner, adhere the flower - folding it in half first, adding a piece of tape to hold the halves together.





Cut/emboss one (1) Diamond Effects Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator# 3 (#1 being the smallest) and use the negative/ outer edge of the Die - as shown below.




Cut one (1)card base using Pearl Effects Spellbinder® Nestabilities® Card Creator, using white card 26cm x10cm folded in half.  Place the folded edge inside of the Die to create a card base, next cut/emboss a single layer of the Pearl Effects

Cut card and papers to layer, as shown in the photo below - round the corners of the dark pink and script paper, also sponging around the edges of the script paper using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Desert Sand and an IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Dauber™




Cut/emboss one (1) Fancy Framed Tags Two Spellbinders® Shapeabilities®  using white card, use the Die as a Stencil sponging the inside of the Die using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Delicata™ Pigment Ink and an IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Daubers™




Finish off the card by adhering the tag to the lower portion of the card using foam tape and adding a strip of  Want2Scrap© - Beautiful Bling Borders by Nina Brackett - Beautiful Blooms
along the right side - every party dress needs some bling!




Thanks for stopping by - I always love to see you have been.  I hope you are inspired to use your inks in different ways - you can change the look of something so easily, personalise your embellishments to fit your projects without even leaving the house! LOL!
