I stamped the sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I didn’t want to word I’m so masked it off with Washi Tape prior to inking the stamp. I trimmed down the strip and flagged one end before adding it to the card front with the liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

I love this card; The colours work so well together and I especially love the slight sparkle the Clear Wink of Stella has given to the Vellum. So pretty.

Gorgeous Leaves for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop where we are sharing thank you cards made for our customers. I have chosen to make my card using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and Intricate Leaves Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the gorgeous leaves card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 2” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White, Polished Pink card & Be Dazzling dsp

Using Smoky Slate ink, stamped off once, I stamped one of the speckled images three times onto the smaller Basic White panel. The panel was then glued to the Cherry Cobbler panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to mounted the panel onto the Polished Pink card base.

Using liquid glue, I tucked the leaves in around the sentiment and completed the card with a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels.
