Good morning all. Hope you are well.
Just a quicky today (said the bishop to the actress) as I am typing this at 11.30pm on Wednesday evening.
Its time for another challenge over at MAWTT and this time the theme is............
Easter
Now, I hadn't got anything in an eggy line so I decided on a floral choice. I always think of daffodils at this time of year so I created my own host of golden daffodils (that's as cultured as I get, except for what may be lurking in Mr D's sandwich box when he's left it in his bag for a week).
Ingredients
Cream, black and vintage gold card
Gold scraper foil (some still available on my website)
John Lockwood Daffodil Burst stamp
Teeny gold bling
Inkylicious sentiment stamp (on the inside)
Hougie for scoring
Its quite a big and bold stamp so I kept the front minimalistic so the focus would just be on the front panel. As previously, I stamped the image with Picket Fence distress ink then scratched the pattern.
Anyhoo, get yourselves over to MAWTT to see what my teamies have come up with and to join in with your Easter creations.
See you soon.
TTFN

ReplyDeleteA beautiful Easter card with a host of golden daffodils. I immediately started reciting the poem in my head. I love that poem. I have not used the scraper foil. I don't think we have this product in the USA.
ReplyDeleteLove the classy black and gold Mrs D. Super card. Christine x
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and has a very Oriental look to it. I've just realised that I'd better get cracking on my Easter cards, thanks for the reminder.
I hope you are well.

ReplyDeleteFabulous card I have the foil scraper sheets and not tried this I can’t remember if you have mentioned it before but what did you use to “scratch” the pattern - a pokey tool?
ReplyDeleteVery stylish Ang, you are one classy bird, xxx

A classic beauty today. I don't know how to do this technique but I think it is something a friend of mine was talking about at lunch one day and I really didn't "get it" plus she never made cards. Seeing your card I see the effect just not "the how to". Very striking and John's stamp is one to wish for.
ReplyDeletePS. Do all Men have labs in their lunch boxes?

HI Ang! I love the black and gold on this card. Such an elegant color combo. Be careful opening that lunch box! Have a great day.

Perfect, I love daffodils and they just make you smile as does your card with the striking design. Really pretty and stylish Easter card. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, your kindness is very much appreciated x
ReplyDeleteHi Ang sorry that I haven't been around for a while....have looked back at your blogs - love the ideas that you've come up with for the gerbera dies. Love them......and as for those two little kitties....so adorable !! Janice x http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Ang! I keep losing track of you, my goofy reader doesn't display your thumbnails anymore and I can't figure out what the pesky problem is. Your card is just gorgeous, I love the idea of florals for an Easter card. The black and gold are super elegant, just love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been so dull and grey, I would actually call it a complete lack of weather!! No sun, no rain, no snow, just grey, grey and more grey. Good thing I have tons of new crafting supplies to play with. lol. Still haven't brought myself to pick up my camera, but I did take a walk to the lake the other day to check out the gazillion seagulls that were making a ruckus. lol. Well I hope you have a great week my friend, sending hugs :)
Hi Ang,
ReplyDeletesuch a stunning creation.
The lustre of the gold is gorgeous and such a beatiful stamped design.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
