The Stamping Chef Challenge 20th November-3rd December: Easel cards...

A new challenge has just started over on The Stamping Chef Challenge blog. The challenge this time is to make an easel card.

This is what I came up with, hope you like it:

Recipe: 'Bittersweet' by The Stamping Chef , coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

design paper from http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.co.uk/

Creata mirror card and glitter

Indigo blu English Flourish (stamped onto mirror card with Jet Black staz-on)

 Forever Friends die cut buttons 

Craftwork cards cardstock flowers and candi 

Bazzill Basics cardstock (to mat the coloured digi)

Dawn Bibby design papers (also matting the digi)

Crafters Companion Spray and Shine (on the flowers)

and a pink pearl (in centre of flower)

Detail of buttons and Craftwork cards flower

'BitterSweet' by The Stamping Chef

The Craftwork Cards flowers are from their Paper Floristry kit. 

I made the pink flower by using the waste from the die cut flowers 

as a stencil, cut out the elements and followed the instructions included.

Thank you for looking at my post.

Die cuts and ribbons...

My DT make for Die cuts and ribbons, The Stamping Chef's 

current challenge, which can be found here:

Hope you will all have a look and join in the fun.

The digi is called 'Stop Pinching Me' and is coloured with Spectrum 

Noirs and pencil crayons over the top, I do this to add to the 

depth of colour and textures on the digi.

The design papers and mirror card are all Creata, there are 

four different papers on my make. One of my favourite things about Creata paper pads is the range of colours used, and because of this, almost all the papers can work together. 

The Creata papers also have designs that I have not seen in any other brands. I just love them.

The butterfly is a die and stamp set by Marianne Designs, 

cut from parchment paper and antique gold Creata mirror card underneath. 

The butterfly design is stamped in olive green Ranger Archival ink and heat set 

(very quickly and without keeping the heat tool in one place for too long).

I also used three different sizes of x-cut Parenthesis nesting dies 

and a tonic die for the corner shape. 

And of course some green ribbon from my stash.

I am also entering this card into the current Creata challenge.

Thank you for reading.
