Wow, its Thursday, March 24, 2022 already and it just occurred to me that I have not posted a card all week. It was warm enough for a few nights that I was able to get some work done in the lower studio (aka as the basement) where I make cards, scrapbook and paint.
While I was down at my crafting area the other night I pulled out my folder with stamped, uncoloured and/or partly coloured, images and decided it was time to turn some of them into cards. This card was one I finished. The stamp is a very old Stamping Bella stamp. This card will be fine for a pre-teen, teen or young adult birthday card.
The image was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol. Wink of Stella was added to the dress, boxes, etc. But it does not show up much in the photo. I need a new WofS pen. Then it was hand cut - no dies for these old stamps. The background paper is from the stash and it happens to match the card base. I pulled out the dark blue cardstock that was close in colour to her dress and used that to mat the designer paper and to die cut the tags - actually two tags glued together for extra dimension. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The image was adhered by very thin dimensional strips which were a pain to cut in half for the legs and arms. I need the really, really skinny strips but we don’t have an outlet here except Michael's which is not a card making/scrapbooking store at all anymore, so cutting the thinnest ones I have is the only option. It does make a difference when the image is popped up off the page though so I will continue to do so.
That’s all for another cold and windy night.
Cheers
Violet
