I bought the collection of Floral Mount Stamps and Dies from Toni Darroch. Haven't really had much of a chance to play with them. Here is my first card. Shortly after I finished this, I was asked to make a "Thank You" Card for a care home. The persons relative lived for the past 5 years, before sadly passing away.
Products Used:
8 x 8 white card blank
Black Card
Gold Glitter Card
Toni Darroch - Artistic Mounts Collection2 - Floral Frame 1 Art Deco and Dies
Toni Darroch - Sentiment Stamp
Bottle of Dreamees Green and Purple Ink
Wow Bonding Powder
Sticky Pads
I cut out 2 black, 2 white and 2 glitter gold mats, and mounted them onto the card in order, leaving the last white one separate. I stamped out the large floral dies twice, then the small flower twice, then the middle flower once. I also stamped out the group of 3 larger leaves 3 times. I used copic pens to colour the flowers and leaves. I then cut out the largest flower from my second image and decoupaged it on top of the other image. I stamped out the frame on scrap card. U used the largest die and the next size down to cut the stamped image out to make a frame. I stamped the sentiment onto the last white mat and foiled it using bonding powder. I die cut a mat using the largest die and covered over the stamped sentiment. Using the bottle of green and purple inks, and paint brush and some water, I made splashes/droplets of ink over the mat. I attached this mat onto the card, the mounted the frame using sticky pads. Once the frame was in place, I arranged the flowers onto the card, and added the extra flowers and leaves where I thought they looked best! I got an inky finger print on the edge of the card, so had to add a little bow to cover it up! This card was given to my Mother-in-law of Mother's Day. The second card was made in the same way but using different colours. It's amazing how it looks so different. Wasn't going to put a bow on the second one, but my sister-in-law wanted it.
