Dragon Wishes

Today I have a clean and simple card to share, featuring the Mama Elephant Me and My Dragon, and Dragon Wishes stamp sets.

I love to add detail with background dies on my CAS cards. I die cut the Reverse Confetti Stitched Rays cover die on white card and adhered it to my card base.

Next, I stamped and coloured an image from the Me and My Dragon stamp set, then die cut it out. The cake and puff are from the Dragon Wishes stamp set, along with the sentiment.

I added the images with foam tape, then finished with some enamel dots around the stamped sentiment.

Have a lovely day,

Pantone Colour of the Year 2019

Happy New Year to you all! 

For my first post of 2019, I keeping with my tradition of sharing a card that's inspired by the Pantone Colour of the Year. This year it's Living Coral, which is described by Pantone as 'an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energises and enlivens with a softer edge'.

I began by die cutting the Reverse Confetti Stitched Rays cover die from white card. To this, I added a blend of distress oxide inks in abandoned coral, dried marigold and squeezed lemonade. I faded out the colour at the edges, then flicked the panel with water and bronze perfect pearls for some details.

For the sentiment, I die cut the MFT Happy Birthday script die from several layered of white card, and once from black. I layered these together with the black layer offset for a shadow.

I tried adding a coral patterned paper die cut to the top of the sentiment stack, but it wasn’t really standing out against the background. So instead, I layered some white glitter card on top for a sparkly look.

Before adding the word die to the card, I adhered a vellum circle onto the panel, to help the word die stand out a little more. An easy way to adhere vellum is to add some stick it adhesive sheet behind it first, which isn’t visible like other adhesives.

Have a lovely day,
Gemma
