I just love all of the beautiful stamp sets this month, and have had so much fun designing with them. The Old Well was my choice for the reveal, but if you read to the end there will be a sneak peek of the Friendship Flowers and Spring Window!!
I stamped the image using black ink and colored with copic markers. It was then fussy cut out and glittered using a glue pen, Orchid and Bronze Splendor glitter. I also stamped the bucket twice fussy cut and placed on top of the 1st image using pop dots. That sweet little butterfly is a SU die.
The sentiment was stamped with brown ink and fussy cut around. Pop dots were used to adhere to the card.
For the bottom brushes and grass I applied green Liquid Applique heat set and was so surprise how it turned out!! I had never used Liquid Applique before, but I like how it puffs up while heating.
To create the background I first laid my brick wall stencil on top of the cardstock and cover it with embossing paste. Removed the stencil and while the paste was still wet I lightly dusted with Sparkling Snow glitter. The sparkle is just so pretty!!
Next it was time to create that pretty braided side! You can find a tutorial as well as the template Here.
I just love how pretty this braid looks on the side of my card. I finished it off with ribbon. This is a must try, you will love the look!!
A little sneak peek at projects to come using the new stamps!! Hope you will check back to see the reveals!!
