Fancy Fold Easel Card



Friends of Speedy TV's 







I've used one of Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps' new releases this month as my focal point for this card. 


  

I love this technique which I learned from Shirl at
 thank you again, Shirl.  

You can find her tutorial here



Here's the photo journey of this card:

Black card stock is heat embossed using Recollections Sparkle Clear Gold powder 

Showing all the various sections of this card cut using Shirl's directions on her blog.
 The bamboo stamp is from MFP's  Wealthy Fish 2013 set.

The fan was fancy cut at the top to extend over the top of the fold

Panels were layered at attached with ATG



The inside sections were attached to the card base with the ATG
.
Sentiment is from  the Lotus Blossoms 2013 set

The banding was actually cut to fit this lace I had in my stash, layered with a piece of black rat tail which was woven through the "coin" by cutting 2 slots in the image and attached with 1/8" scor tape.

The "coin"  on the banding is from the Lucky You 2013 set

Black liquid pearl dots were added to "stop" the top panel and to keep it upright.
Gold liquid pearls dots were added on the image panel as an accent.

Anniversary Love



I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the new 

Anniversary Challenge

 (a Mark Hendrich's Co).

This is my first time trying the faux cloisonne stamping with embossing powders. 
 I really like the effect and it is so easy to do.

I used the October release
(the largest flower)
to stamp my image on a page torn from  a flower catalog with Versamark and then heat embossed with Recollections Clear Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder. 
 Then I fussy cut the flower.


After dry embossing a 5 1/4" x 4" dark purple piece of card stock with a Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder, attach a 6" piece of lace to the bottom of the panel with 1/8" score tape so that the bottom of the lace is even with the bottom of the panel. 
 Attach both to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" (folded size) card base in white.  

Die cut the leaves with the Cricut picturesque set to your preferred size, distress with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Ink and Memento Pistachio Dye Ink.  
I roll my leaves with a tooth pick to give them some dimension then added them to my card with micro dot double sided adhesives.

Attach the fussy cut flower on top of the leaves using your ATG.

Stamp the "LOVE" sentiment (on the same dark purple scrap) from the


 with Versamark and heat emboss with the same gold embossing powder.  Cut with a Labels Twenty die from Spellbinders Nestabilities.  
Use the same die to emboss a piece of white and fussy cut on the outside distress with Memento LuLu Lavender Dye Ink and attach to the sentiment with foam tape. 





 Attach this to the card base with additional foam tape.





Finish the inside as desired.
