Amidst the chaos of the day to day ... I found the time to take part in the WMS blog hop.
The instructions were simple, to take inspiration from this photo and to use Waltzing Mouse Stamps. I loved the idea of taking inspiration from a picture and the first thing that came to mind was : wainscoting.

My wainscoting is all delicately scored and sponged so that it would show in the photo.

A close up of the newest addition to my stash : Stampendous aged ivory embossing enamel. Shown here, but more clearly on the hinge clip below. It is ivory with golden flecks - when heated they melt to give that aged look. I have to say it is absolutely fabulous and worked so well with my WMS stamps :-)
Supplies used : Marina Mist, Not quite navy and whisper white cardstock - Stampin' Up!, soft stone cardstock pti, Prima flowers, Lustre crystals, Stampendous aged ivory embossing enamel, Paris Nouveau Stamp set, Labels 25 die
I was just looking through my embossing powders the other day and thinking it would be nice to have a creamy ivory one instead of stark white! And I briefly contemplated scoring panels for my card and then abandoned that idea as way too much work! Well done - what a fabby card. The enamel really is perfect with the frame and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Nikki! Love your scoring and embossing! Great work!
ReplyDeleteNikki, your card is SO Gorgeous!! I LOVE the perfect stamping on the background and the scoring. The embossed label looks so pretty too. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kary. Isn't it fun to get nice feedback - makes it all even more worthwhile :-) Have a great day x
