Layers Of Beauty

Hello again stamping friends,

The Layers Of Beauty stamp set (#163514), Layers Of Beauty dies (#163518) and the Layers Of Beauty Decorative Masks (#163517) have been used on this card and are included on the Last Chance Products.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). I coloured the image with the co-ordinating masks using Blending Brushes (#153611). There are 5 masks which are numbered so you know which order to do the colouring. The first 2 layers were coloured with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). You can achieve different shades of colour depending on how light or hard you press on the brush. So I lightly coloured with the first mask, then the next is a bit darker. For mask 3, I used Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). Mask 4 & 5 are for colouring the leaves and I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) with mask 4 and Old Olive ink (#147090) for mask 5.

This image was then cut with the die, then I fussy cut this into 2 pieces, cutting below the 2 larger flowers.

The Basic White card front was die cut with a die from the Forever Florals dies (#167443). This was glued to the Basic White base card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The sentiment is from the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979) and I stamped this with Blueberry Bushel ink. The sentiment & Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) were cut with dies from the Forever Florals dies.

I attached the flower on the bottom right with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The larger floral image was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots.

Glimmer was added to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The embellishments are the retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Layered Thoughts stamp set

Hello again stamping friends,

I am using more retiring or Last Chance Products on today’s card.

I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). Firstly I stamped the sentiment with Berry Burst ink (#147143) onto Basic White card (3166781). I used the new Stampin’ Positioner (#167768) which will be available from the new catalogue which starts on 5th May. I cleaned the stamp and without moving the card, I re-inked the stamp with VersaMark (#102283) and stamped over the image. I then added Clear Powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This method allows you to Heat Emboss in any colour ink.

The sentiment and the Lights Of Aurora Designer Series Paper (#165755) were cut with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). I then used a die from the Fancy Borders (#165380) to cut the hearts on the DSP.

The DSP was taped to the Basic White base card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I glued the 3 hearts which were from the border, with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the hearts. The retired Tinsel Gems Three-Pack were also attached to the card.

The Last Chance products are Layered Thought stamp set, Textured Notes dies, Light Of Aurora Designer Series Paper. The Fancy Borders dies & gems are no longer available.
