Violets and Gold

by on May 30, 2009

This beautiful violet stamp has been on my desk for a while so I was thankful to finish it up.  The violets are one of the recent sets from Flourishes called Sweet Violets

Using Tombow Markers and European Watercolor Paper, I watercolored the violets and cut them out using Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Small die paired with a gold layer cut using Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Large.  This panel rests on a pair of Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.  To ultra frame the combination I cut two Spellbinders Large Octagonswhich were offset then embellished with pearls.  To finish, I threaded a ribbon through the top and bottom of the octagons and tied a bow!

Easy Peasy!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes –
Paper:  Bazzill, The Paper Company  – Charcoal Black, American Crafts – Gold
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Small, Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Large, Spellbinders Large Octagons, Cllear Embossing Powder, Tombow Markers, Gold Pearls, Ribbon, McGill Word Punch,

 

Have a blessed day my friends!

This is a beautiful card. I bought the set but have had absolutely no luck with it! I guess I don’t have the hang of acrylic stamps because it didn’t all come out even though I stamped with a piece of fun foam underneath. I will have to try again because your card is amazing.

Love this card! It’s delicate and elegant as well. Great job! I so have to get those octagons! Wish I could find shiny gold pearls ‘cuz they add so much with so little effort!

Becca,
Beautiful card. Because of you I now have a large collection of Spellbinders. I have one question…..what did you use the clear embossing powder for on this card?
