Double stamped Vellum

 Hi there Crafty Friends! Today I'm sharing an old make, which I never posted about. I'm playing along with my friends from Group of Seven Card-makers. They are focusing on Vellum and Embossing.

I began by stamping and heat embossing the butterflies on the front of the Vellum. Then I stamped the back with the purple pattern. I backed this with white card-stock, to whichI added some colourful splatters! These panels were framed with the black and white layers to make it pop and easy to adhere the Vellum.

Stamps: Inspired by Stamping Butterflies

Hero Arts - very old wood-mount background stamp.

Group of Seven Cardmakers - KALEIDOSCOPE

 Hi There Crafty Friends. Today I am thrilled to be joining my friends at the Group of Seven Cardmakers as Guest Designer. They saw a card I previously posted here and and this month they are using the card pictured below for their inspiration.  They are calling this technique 'KALEIDOSCOPE'. 

I learnt this technique from Dana Joy of Got Joy Creations  in an Online Card Class. Basically it involves slicing up a stamped/stencilled/or other  background and re-arranging the strips in a Kaleidoscope type pattern, like I did in this card...

This time I chose a background panel from my stash, which was made by dry brushing paint in random stripes.

To finish my card I matted the strips with gold metallic card, added this gorgeous butterfly die-cut from SSS and a foiled sentiment.  The base card has been embossed with an ancient press plate from Papertrey Ink - I love the lovely subtle details of this plate. 

In case you haven't heard about this blog, basically it is a place where you learn from experienced cardmakers about Techniques & Products. 

You can also play along with them and add your card to the gallery. 

This blog is a treasure trove of information and is sure to spark your creativity!
