Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects Pansies!
Hey there! It's Tuesday but it feels like a Monday, doesn't it?
Just a few more days before the new Stampin' Up! catalog kicks in. If you want to receive a new catalog from me but haven't ordered from me before, just contact me by email: carol@carolpaynestamps.com. Include your email and snail mail address. I will send you a Paypal invoice for the Priority Postage ($5.60). You don't have to have a Paypal account to pay from a Paypal invoice) After I receive payment I will put your catalog in the mail and you will have it within 2-3 business days, and I will also include a coupon for $6 off your first order!
While playing with ideas for custom embellishments I created this fun card:
Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, Midnight Muse and Coastal Cabana cardstock all punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. Gumball Green leaves cut with the Secret Garden framelit (I'm really going to miss that die set, but I received the new Flower Fair Framelits while on the cruise so they will help me feel better! lol!)
The greeting is from Loving Thoughts,(which is retiring and sold out in clear-mount but still available in wood-mount)
After punching the flowers I adhered them to glue dot packaging strips with the glue dots still attached. The flowers would then be ready to attach after the Crystal Effects dried.
I covered each flower with a thin layer (or sometimes not so thin!) of Crystal Effects, then added pearls for my centers. I allowed them to lay flat overnight to dry completely before transferring to my project.
A background with Off the Grid (retired & sold out) and greeting from Delightful Dozen (also retired & sold out).
That's all for now. To order the Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, Secret Garden Framelits, Loving Thoughts in wood-mount, and Midnight Muse ink before they are gone on June 1st click HERE to shop in my Online Store or click on any of the images below in the supply list.
