Good Morning everyone.
Ive been waiting patiently to share this card, my lovely friend has just had her birthday so i can finally post it. Its massive at 9x8" as the pink ink highland cow stamp is very large. I think it would look great in a box frame so left a birthday sentiment off the front to give the recipient the choice if she so wishes.
8x9" cardbase. After working our what card size i needed i made it from A3 white cardstock. I cut a panel of white to fit and used brushos to make grass & sky and then over stamped around the edge with the thistle stamp in grey ink. On a separate piece of white card i stamped the highland with expresso & sepia archival inks, overstamping using my stamp platform several times to get the image nice a crisp. I added a light colour wash with distress inks and then cut her out.
I cut a panel of white card to fit my card front and die cut a XL oval in the middle and then splashed on some blue & green inks to pick up on the background colours and soften all the white. I then stamped lots of flowers on a contrasting coloured paper and cut them out. I gently curved the cow head and attached to the middle of my oval with plenty of glue gel and then arranged my flowers and added gems to the flower centres. Stamped sentiment in expresso ink & cut out to finish.
Just a close up on my 'coo'

ReplyDeleteWonderfully charming card. This design is instantly eye-catching and so sweetly pretty. Plus, I adore the larger card base. I'm a huge fan of larger cards, too, and made my biggest to date so far earlier this year.
