Step by Step

My background paper is actually quite simple to make using diluted multi surface paints, stamping and stencilling and you can find all the details of how I created it HERE

I created my floral embellishment by stamping my chosen flower twice with Potting Soil Archival ink, once on paper painted with Light Pink multi surface paint, and just the centre on a scrap of my masterboard background paper. I cut them out and glued them together with dimensional adhesive.

I then took a piece of corrugated card and brushed this roughly with Metallic Bronze and Metallic Rose Goldmulti surface paints. I felt this was stronger than I wanted so I toned it down by brushing on a little Grey multi surface paint.

I stamped a leaf on a scrap of paper painted with Lime multi surface paint and cut this out too. I then added some stitching detail to my background paper using the stitch stencil with Potting Soil ink.

I assembled my card, gluing the background paper to a square ivory card blank and tieing a piece of torn sari ribbon around the painted corrugated card. I stamped my chosen text at the bottom of the background and then glued on the corrugated panel and my floral embellishment and leaf to finish.
