"Dainty Dancer"

Hello,

Here is another sample card for the new Cuddly Buddly "Little Miss Daisy" range.

I really enjoyed making this card. I did some faux stitching instead of getting the machine out and I think it has worked well, although I did have to re-do some of the "stitching" as I smudged it because I didn't let it dry properly. I ought to slow down when I make cards, but I find it hard as I want to see the finished card as soon a possible!

It doesn't show too well but the sentiment has a silver lining. To achieve this effect, I first inked the sentiment stamp with silver brilliance ink, I then lightly stamped the sentiment onto scrap paper to remove some of the ink before inking it up with black ink and then stamping onto the designer paper. If you click on the photo you can see this a bit more clearly. The only problem with doing this is that you get the silver ink on the black inkpad and have to wipe it off quickly!

Here is what I used to make this card:-

Stamps: Dainty Dancer and Wordy Bits (available here)
Digi Papers: Little Miss Daisy Spring 2 (available here)
Nestabilities: Long Scallop Rectangle, Large Scallop Rectangle, Large Labels
Other: Paper piercer and Inksentials white gel pen for the faux stitching
Copic Ciaos
Glamour Dust
Holographic Heat Embossing Powder for the cupcake and tiara
Embellishments from Cuddly Buddly

Thank you for visiting me today. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Hugs, Clare x
