Couture Creations: Special Thankyou card with Kaylee

Special Thanks Window Card

Welcome again! I can't keep away from glitter elements, this time using the beautiful purple glitter card. These stamps and dies are from the new collection You Go Girl designed by Lucy Campeanu.

The day before I had to make a resin frame and allow it to set before I could make this card. I started by preparing all the required elements ( I never know how many I really need so I just make a few extra). I stamped and die-cut the leaves, flowers, dragonfly and corner flower pieces.

With the oval dies, I used the larger one to cut the purple glitter card first then positioned it over the front of the card base. I then aligned the smaller die inside this to cut the card front.

I made 3 'fuschia' flowers. I used the ball tool to shape the petals. I glued the bottom petals face downward and the top petals and sepal upwards. I pieced a hole through the centres and glued the stamens in there. I embossed a sentiment onto white card then sized it down to fit inside the resin frame and cut a 'v' at one end. I created a floral arrangement with the stamps by masking and layering - remember the image that you want in the front has to be the first image stamped then masked. I stamped the flowers with the black outline ink onto the photographic white card and coloured them with the alcohol ink markers. I love how the colourless blender changes the colours slightly and gives you a bigger range of colours. Once it was coloured, I fussy cut it out and put foam squares on one side underneath. It was time to assemble all of this. Between the card front and purple glitter card I placed a corner flower die on alternative sides of the oval area then glued them in place. Everything else was glued into position as per the photos. Inside the card I created a spot for a 'Gift Card' to go as a special option.
