August WLS #2

Good Morning everyone

Half way through August so time for a reminder over at We Love Stamping


With this months optional theme of 'Sentiment or words as focus' or you can go with anything goes as long as some stamping involved.

Ive used a 2nd quote stamp from the Katzelkraft set I used for the 1st card (see here)

Card size approx 6x6"   I stamped my sentiment with purple ink onto white cardstock, die cut into a shape and lightly inked the edges with purple distress ink.  I die cut a mat from dark purple card (i know it looks black in the photo but is a deep plum) 

I found this lovely lilac marble paper with gold foiling and die cut into a larger nested shape and attached to my card front which was again die cut using the nesting dies and white cardstock. I die cut a smaller frame from the deep purple card and attached with foam tape - and added my sentiment topper into the middle again with foam tape.

I then stamped 2 of the carabelle stamps girl onto white, watercoloured with distress inks in contrasting colours to the purple, cut out and added with glue gel either side of the sentiment. 

You can make out the gold foiling better on this one

Just showing it stood up side on. 

Items Used:
Katzelkraft stamps ktz203 'Adventure'
Carabelle stamps SA60158 'zinouk du jardin'
Marble p.paper
Distress Inks - evergreen bough, shaded lilac, wild honey, cracked pistachio, lemonade
Nested dies
Deep plum cardstock
CraftUk ltd white linen cardstock

That's a great sentiment and I really like how you have matted and framed it. It looks stunning and the little bit of foiling adds extra interest along with those quirky ladies. Love it xx
