OK, so I thought I'd have another go at blogging a card as it's been so long since I last did it!
I've decided I'm going to try and blog a current card and then an older card that's still waiting to be blogged after I was offline for so long.So, it's time to blog a current card. This is one that has been received so I know I can blog it.
This was a card I was rather pleased with, I have to say. It used one of my older Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girl stamps, called 'Sitting'.
The image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink and coloured using Copic markers and then fussy cut.
Copics used:
Hair: E11, E13, E15, E29
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
Dress: RV11, RV34
Socks: BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18
Belt/Flower: BG18
Fishtail banners were then handcut from a few other patterned papers from the same paper pad and handstitching was added to the top of the largest one. These were then added in the top left corner of the card blank.
The Happy Birthday banner from the Hero Arts Friendly Flags stamp set was stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia archival pigment ink and fussy cut. A small length of white lace was added to the reverse of the image and layered over the handcut banners.
The 'Friend' sentiment from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler stamp set was also stamped with the Vintage Sepia ink and was die cut using a Classic Oval Nestabilities die. This was then matted onto a bookplate diecut from a paper from the same paper pad using a die from the XCut Tags and Bookplates set of dies.
Brown eyelets were added through the holes of the diecut and co-ordinating embroidery threads were added.
The sentiment panel was then added in the bottom right corner of the card blank and the Gorjuss Girl image placed sitting on top of it.
A few co-ordinating buttons were threaded with the embroidery threads and added to the card blank.
