Floral Script

Hi there and a warm welcome to my blog  :)  I'm sharing another of my Indian samples with you today from last month's CB tv shows, I absolutely LOVED all the images!  I have used stamps from the Indian Textiles, Indian Elephants and Paisley Elephants sets; Distress Oxide inks, Little Birdy Chalk paints, black Versafine ink, clear embossing powder, gold Brilliance ink, gold pen, and Pro Marker pens.

I began this project by stamping some floral and paisley images in the corner of a piece of white colouring card, using black ink and embossing them in clear powder.  I coloured the images with marker pens adding a shadow line around the them, then masked them with masking tissue and painted the background with Muted Teal chalkpaint.  

I took a white base card and stamped one of the paisley images and a couple of worker stamps around the edges using the DOs to create a border.  I then blended ink around the outer edges of the card.

With the paint dry on the focal panel I stamped the script randomly using gold ink.  I then added a paisley and a worker image using DO inks.  To complete the panel I edged it with gold pen.

Next I took a spare piece of white card and stamped a sentiment in black ink onto it.  I cut it to size and blended ink around the edges.  I added gold pen to the outer edges and gold dots around the sentiment.

I really enjoyed creating this one, as I've said I love these stamps and I love to use lots of colour, so this one ticks all the boxes!  I wanted to create a card with a bright, fresh feel to it, and I'm so happy with how this has worked out.  I have chosen to make this a birthday card, but this design would suit any occasion - maybe even a wedding.  And with a slight change of colour it would be suitable for any recipient.  

Thank you very much for popping by today, I hope that you've enjoyed reading this post and that you will drop in again soon  :)
