3D or Tole or Paper Layering

The main image is Rosey Vase by My Heart Stamps For You. It was stamped with Galaxy Gold ink. I heated everything I stamped or edged with Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink with a heat gun before the next step. I can't get enough of Swirly background by Fire Cracker Designs by Pamela. I used it to do Reverse Mask technique on the vase, again using Galaxy Gold ink. Next I painted the roses and the vase with Twinkling H2O's. I stamped the image again and painted with Twinkling H2O's. I cut out the individual leaves and roses to mount on the image. I used Rangers Glossy Accents to glue the bottom ends to the image and also had a piece of a Pop Dot underneath near the middle to make them stand out from the card (3-D or Tole effect). I used a Fiskars template to cut the oval around the image and then edged the image with Galaxy Gold by lightly dragging the edges over the ink pad.

Next I stamped "the" Swirly background again with Galaxy Gold ink on another piece of cardstock for the background. The oval image was mounted in the center of the background, then mounted to the Bazzill Bling green cardstock. The metal corners are remnants from die cuts I did in the Cuttlebug for other cards. The metal gold oval is by EK Success Architecture Building Embellishments. I think they are discontinued. The word is from Word Plate I by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I stamped it with ClearSnap Mica Magic Green and then went over it with a Green Sharpie. The gold cord is by Stampin' Up. The beads are Czech glass beads. The butterfly is by Fancifuls, Inc., online.

Thank you for looking and thanks for stopping by "the blog".

Bargello Play From The Beginning

I have looked at Bargello cards for years in awe of the pieces and patterns. Finally I decided this was the week to do it. I found relatively easy instructions on HGTV.com. I decided to use Glossy cardstock and started by dyeing all of the Glossy White with 5 different colors and left one white. Next I used background stamps from Fire Cracker Designs by Pamela - Swirly, Impression-Obsession - Swirl, Starving Artists - Fern Leaf , and Sculpy Clay Texture Sheet - Dancing Spirals. Brilliance Galaxy Gold was used to stamp the Swirly, Swirl and Fern Leaf backgrounds. Dye on Dye was used for the Purple background. I used the Castaway pad on top of the Lavender dye ink to bleach it out. Then I used the instructions from the HGTV.com page from the direct link above.

The flower is one from the Three Windows stamp by Impression-Obsession. It was stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold, painted with dye ink, and then Twinklin H2O's. The gold tie is Krenik Gold #16 Tapestry Braid cord. The heart is from Fancifuls, Inc. Charm Catalog pg 5, #2046. Ranger Stickles Diamond glitter glue was used to highlight the fronds around the rose. It was fun and not so difficult when I followed the directions. Smile!!

Thanks for stopping by "the blog" to look.
