Believe




I was trying to think up some new ideas for the club and realised we hadn't used gilding flakes for a while (probably because they are so messy!)

Striplet die is by Sue Wilson

Believe dies ...?

Striped Flowers



Sentiment stamp is a cheap one from The Range (think it's Trimcraft or Dovecraft brand?)
Scalloped square die by Tonic
Flower stamp and matching die is Heartfelt Creations. I've embossed using SU copper powder which is a beautiful colour in real life. I also added heat embossing to some of the edges of the layered card by using a Versamark pen and the copper powder.

Wreath



Stamp set is Holly Berry Happiness by Stampin' Up!

I initially had a bit of difficulty stamping a decent circle. It's not a complete wreath stamp, more like a garland, so to make a wreath as shown here I had to stamp the garland five times.
After a couple of trials I decided I needed help so I die-cut a circle from scrap card and used the negative piece, stamping just inside of the circle all the way round.

If that wasn't bad enough I then had to stamp over each garland because the first stamp is just the outline of the holly leaves...and then another five times to stamp the red berries. You can see by the bottom right corner that I didn't quite get the outline and the solid stamps aligned correctly.

Finished card is 6 x 6 inches.
