Heart of Christmas week 5 - Gilded Wishes All Around

 

Hello stampers, it's time for week 5 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I missed the last week as life got too busy.

The card I have to share with you this week uses the Wishes All Around Bundle and the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder.

I started by embossing a piece of Basic White card stock with the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder. I very gently rubbed a Versamark ink pad over the raised images. I then sprinkled Heat and Stick Powder over the Versamark followed by Gilded Leafing. Unfortunately the Gilded Leafing didn't adhere to the raised sections as well as I'd hoped. 

I changed track and reached for my Multipurpose Glue. Very selectively and sparingly I added the glue to the raised images that the Versamark missed. I left the glue to go tacky, for about 10 mins. I didn't want the glue too wet so that it didn't spread from where I wanted it. I upended the cardstock into the Gilded Leafing again and this time the result was much more satisfactory. I didn't want perfect coverage, but enough for the Christmas designs to be highlighted.

I cut two of the wreaths, one from Granny Apple Green and the other from Watercolour paper. I coloured the Watercolour piece with Parakeet Party and Real Red ink. The wreaths were layered together and attached to the embossed piece with Dimensionals. 

The card base is Granny Apple Green and the mat is Real Red. The greeting was heat embossed in White on Real Red cardstock.

All of these products are available in my online store from the 6th of Sept.

Now it's time to see what my lovely stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 9 - Blackberry Bliss

 

Week 9 of our Colour Creations Blog Hop means it's time to celebrate beautiful Blackberry Bliss.

For my card today I am using the Season of Chic Bundle.

I started by embossing a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. I applied Versamark, followed by Heat and Stick Powder and the Gilded Leafing in a random, patchy manner so that the background looks aged or vintage.

The flowers were stamped in Blackberry Bliss on Fresh Freesia card stock and the top layer were cut from Fresh Freesia card stock.

I die cut the mesh piece and a few leaves from the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.

I cut some of the new gold and vanilla ribbon in half length ways and added some loops between the flowers. I also unraveled some to the Gold Twine and added it behind the flowers. In the center of the flowers I added some Rhinestone Jewels coloured with a Soft Suede Blends Marker.

Now it's time to see what the other Art With Heart Team members have to share with us. The next stop is blog of the lovely Sharon Davern.

Rococo Rose Gilded Butterflies

 

I made today's card a while ago as I was playing with the Gilded Leafing. I wanted to share it with you before Rococo Rose retires.

The stamp sets I used for this card are Very Versailles and Butterfly Brilliance. The Crumb Cake background piece has been stamped in Crumb Cake with Very Versailles.

I stamped the leaves in Versamark on a Merry Merlot piece and then applied Heat & Stick Powder, heated and applied the Gilded Leafing.

The butterflies were stamped in Crumb Cake and lightly coloured with a Water Colour Painter and Rococo Rose ink. I fussy cut the images instead of using the dies as I didn't want an edge around the butterflies.

The final touch is a piece of Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon across the card.
