Kaleidoscope It's Your Special Day

Good Morning Everyone

Alice here with my latest post.   Can't believe we are heading into August!  I set myself a challenge this week with the A6 Doily Kaleidoscope clear stamp set.  What should I do with it, as these stamps scare me a litte?  Well, I had great fun playing with this stamp set from Colourific.  I have several samples to show you over the next few weeks.   You will find this and all of the stamps used on the Colourific Website here.

Materials:

A6 Doily Kaleidoscope Clear Stamp Set
A6 Flowers Marquis Petal and Circular Clear Stamp set

6x6 White Card Blank

6.75 x 6.75 Black Mat

6.5 x 6.5 White Stamping Card

Copic Markers

CC Sparkle Pen

Gems

Foam Pads

• Stamped the Kaleidoscope with Memento Ink onto centre of 6.5 x 6.5 stamping card, then stamped around it with various stamps from the Marquis Petal and Circular stamps.
• Used Copics to colour everything everything in,  Then went over parts of it with the Sparkle Pen.
• Stamped out one of the Circle Stamps, fussy cut it out and mounted it onto centre of Kaleidoscope with a foam pad.
• Used a Greeting Stamp from my stash and made the banner for the bottom of the card.  This has been mounted with foam pads onto a scrap of black card to give the card some dimension.
• Finished off with some gems from my stash.

Hope you like it and thank you for looking.  Will be back again next week.

Good Morning

Alice here, hope you are all well and ready for another Monday morning!

A week or so ago, I found a new technique to make a wreath.  You can make your own Build a Wreath template by following tutorials on You Tube.  I knew this technique would work well with the Colourific A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set.  You can find this stamp set, and many more super stamps  by looking on the Colourific Website here

A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set

A6 Camper Van Stamp Set

A6 Border and Stamp Stamp Set

6 x 6 White Card

5.5 x 5.5 White Mat

5.5 x 5.5 Green spotty mat

5 x 5 White Mat

Butterfly Die

Various coloured inks

• Inked the largest mat with sage green ink and the smaller one with lilac ink.  
• Used my stamping platform and my homemade template to make the wreath using various sizes of leaves and flowers.  Using a scalpel I carefully cut out the centre of the wreath.  
• Using the stamping platform, I stamped the border around the edge of the 6x6 card, then layered the largest mat onto the white card.  
• Stamped the sentiment onto white card, cut it out and inked the edges with lilac ink.  I shaped the sentiment using a bone folder and attached it through the wreath, then used foam pads to attach the wreath mat onto the green spotty mat and attached it to the card. 
• Finished off with a die cut butterfly which was inked with green and lilac inks. Finally added small pearls to the card and the centre of the butterfly.

I really liked this card and hope you do too.
