Well, January is here with very typical January weather – cold
with a cold wind along with snow showers off and on. Yuck. This image popped up
on Facebook today and its exactly how I feel.
I decided to buy myself a new die set. I kept seeing cards
made with it on a couple of sites on Facebook and decided I had to have it. It
is a Spellbinder’s die set called Bold Bloom and I had Stamp Art in London, ON
order it in for me. I love it! No buyer’s remorse here! Here’s one of the many
cards I have created already.
This time I die cut the flowers in white and sponged ink in
the middle of the large ones letting it fade out near the edges. The buds were
die cut from white as well but I sponged blue ink all over the middle part only
and once assembled, I really liked it. The small blooms were die cut in white
and completely inked with blue but darker in the centre. The flower centres were also die cut in white
and glued on and some of the blue ink behind them leaked through which I was
more than happy with. The flowers needed something to sit on so I die cut that
fancy label from another old die set and then stamped the sentiment. The stems
and leaves were die cut from green cardstock and glue on afterwards.
That’s all for a cold January night of the 5t
Cheers
Violet
