Hand made cards of the day

Two cards to show you!

This is a 5×7″ card. I originally was going to do a colourful vibrant card but when I stamped the tiger (from Sheena’s India collection) I immediately fell in love with the contrast of the image and I decided not to colour it in.

I then rummaged through my stash of card and find some printed vellum that was hidden. This was bought at a craft fair I went to.

The tiger image and the sentiment were both stamped on to Sheena’s stamping card with Staz-On ink. I then matted and layered them on to the patterned vellum. The ribbon is double satin and I have added a dazzler gem on top.

 Here’s a close up of the tiger.

Now this second card is more vibrant with a marbled effect. Again it is a 5×7″ card. I first made the background by blending distress inks then I spritzed water and blotted it with some tissue for a bleached effect.

The flower was stamped several times, glittered cut out and layered with collall 3d clear glue gel. I added a stamped sentiment and a ribbon from my stash which has been tinted with distress inks to match the card more. Again dazzler gems have been added.

Here is a close up of the flower!
