As soon as I saw this stamp set I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I love everything about it and my mind started working on designs before it even arrived! I envisioned an embossed image colored with metallic markers and it came out so well!
My first step was to use my Cricut to cut out circles in the size I needed (3", 3 1/4", 3 1/2"). I embossed the circle image on black cardstock then colored in with the markers. I love how the colors look on black! After layering the circles I got busy on the rest of the card front.
Because our stamps are acrylic you can cut them apart! When you want to use the full stamp you just put them together on the block. I wanted to use the long flower border along the bottom but the middle flower was going to be in the way of the circles. So I snipped on each side and just used the shorter flowers across the bottom.
For the sentiment I made the stamps curve a bit to fit the shape of the circle. Just put the stamp on the block then move the ends a bit to form the curve. Press the stamp down again in that position then stamp! Our My Acrylix stamps the best!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Brandi.
DeleteWow - talk about a stunner! I never would have thought to colour in the stamp like that, and it packs such punch. I love that you carried the theme over into the inside of the card with a simple stamped image too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aggie.
DeleteJust beautiful!! I was thinking about the metallic markers..but didn't have time to "play". I was thinking black embossing ---but loved what you did with the gold!! So, so pretty!!
