Gilded Art for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on December 31, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘New Goodies’. I have chosen to make a gilded art card for you. With the January – June 2021 and Sale-A-Bration catalogues coming out on the 5^th January and lots of goodies from my pre-order to play with, I have been spoilt for choice. If you have hopped on from Karen Egan I am sure you loved her project

To recreate the gilded art card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I really, really wanted to play with the gilding flakes but didn’t have any Heat & Stick Powder – so I improvised by sticking strips of Tear & Tape along all 4 sides of one of the Whisper White panels. I removed the backing and covered the tape with the flakes, rubbed them onto the tape with my fingers to remove the excess flakes and bring out the shine. I absolutely love the effect.

The stem and leaves from the Art Gallery stamp set were stamped in Just Jade ink onto the edged panel before it was added to the Gorgeous Grape layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The solid part of the flower was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Whisper White card and the more detailed layer was added using the same ink. The centre of the flower was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. Using the Floral Gallery Dies I cut out the flower and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Embossed Leaves

Posted on November 1, 2020October 26, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a gorgeous embossed leaves card made using the Love of Leaves stamp set and the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder. I love the bright colours and the linen look of the card.

To recreate the embossed leaves card you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5 ¾” by 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4” by 2½”
Scrap WW

When making a card like this I always start by stamping the largest image and working through the images to the smallest. With this in mind I started by stamping the largest leaf in Granny Apple Green ink. The next leaf was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink, the next in Magenta Madness and the smallest in Daffodil Delight ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty embossed leaves card made using the Love of Leaves stamp set

The whole panel was run through the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the effect this gives. I wrapped some of the gorgeous gold twine from the Forever Greenery ribbon duo around the layer and added the whole layer to the Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty embossed leaves card made using the Love of Leaves stamp set

I stamped one of the smallest leaves in Daffodil Delight ink and die cut it out using my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and the Stitched Leaves dies.

The sweet label from the Ornate Layers Dies was cut out of the smallest piece of Whisper White using the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.

The sentiment from the Life is Beautiful stamp set was stamped on the Ornate label in Bermuda Bay ink. The panel was then added on Dimensionals to the card front.
