It is a chipboard album from <a href="http://fabscraps.com/">Fabscraps</a> and is part of the Dream Steam collection. It has a die cut front cover and then 4 circular pages as well.<br />

So we painted the front with <a href="http://www.paperartsy.co.uk/">Paper Artsy</a> Fresco Finish paint and then added some Infusions crystals to tone the colour to the papers we were using. The butterfly was hot filed using the <a href="http://couturecreations.com.au/pages/gopress-and-foil-machine">GoPress & Foil</a> machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
The papers I chose to use are from <a href="http://creativecraftingworld.co.uk/">The Paper Boutique</a> and is the Sunflower Song collection.<br />
<br />
The next step was to begin covering each page with these beautiful papers.<br />

Won't they?<br />
<br />
With that in mind we designed our workshops around using little pieces of paper. Let's face it - some of the papers are so gorgeous and we just can't bring ourselves to throw even the smallest scraps out, can we?<br />
<br />
I had been using <a href="https://couturecreations.com.au/">Couture Creations</a> C'est La Vie papers on another project and had lots of pieces left, so I set to and cut them into strips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A sheet of double sided adhesive, some pieces of card and other scraps - lace, a few pearls and I was really pleased with the result.<br />
<br />
I still had some bits left though, so I went on to create this one as well:<br />

Using a border punch ( remember them - before we all abandoned them in favour of dies!), some bits of ribbon and an odd flower - yet another pleasing result.The Stamp Padhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07859565725062007235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860956456170238178.post-58289226948077560402018-05-01T12:20:00.001+01:002018-05-01T12:20:44.837+01:00Introducing Pink & MainThis week's workshop will feature the new stamp & die sets from Pink & Main.<br />
They have large word dies paired up with a really nice selection of phrases to create cards for multiple occasions or "just because".<br />
<br />
The dies have a solid word and a shadow, giving lots of versatility in use.<br />

It is active and you can purchase products but it is very much still in its infancy. Please let me know if there is anything you would particularly like to see available, or whether you find the site easy to navigate. I will be continuing to make additions and improvements over the<br />next few weeks but please feel free to take a look now and have a good mooch around.<br />Cheers, Gwen x</div>

<br />
Firstly some heat embossing through a mask and then rainbow inking directly over a coated brown Kraft card. Split panel with sentiment inserted. Lovely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3fsVEIA22HeRmtGZrF5SOFUG504Nxa82Ok-AfXcTBtDjw3DVheV2UQSlKXA44BhBQjsbjzXQ5_Q1gST6JRdyHmdp5MxnCBQraJ1JI-XW_cWqwfJxVPZY6KOI58HYpDrhdbNv13OLlDbQY/s1600/IMG_7951.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3fsVEIA22HeRmtGZrF5SOFUG504Nxa82Ok-AfXcTBtDjw3DVheV2UQSlKXA44BhBQjsbjzXQ5_Q1gST6JRdyHmdp5MxnCBQraJ1JI-XW_cWqwfJxVPZY6KOI58HYpDrhdbNv13OLlDbQY/s320/IMG_7951.JPG" width="287" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next - gorgeous Coral embossing for the sentiment on a circle, quirkily cut with a straight edge on one side - love that. Masked and embossed background in two-tone.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Delicate lavender tones for this one. Starry mask, split panel background, matching corners, very pretty.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's something I haven't done for a while - Perfect Pearls powders onto the Clear Glass ink. Embossed leafy mask for the background. Simple Elegance.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The same technique here but using the mask to emboss a background and cutting out some of those teeny flowers - only Carol! Beautiful.</div>

This image was taken using a flash which shows the blue panel well but the rest is a bit on the bright side, so the second image is without and that helps to show the embellies a bit better.<br />

The blue panel is a piece of acrylic sheet ( which I prefer rather than acetate ). Here's how I made it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.Drizzle Diamond Glaze over the back of the panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Add a few drops of your choice of 3 colours of dye inks and gently stipple them into the glaze, being careful not to over mix which will result in a muddy finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Sprinkle in some crystal glitter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Scrunch up a piece of white tissue paper and lay down onto the glaze mixture. Press all the creases into the mix until saturated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leave to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once dry, stamp your sentiment using Rare Earth Pitch Black permanent dye ink. Allow to dry also. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut a piece of white card slightly wider and quite a bit longer than your inked panel. Punch the bottom edge with a decorative border punch. Wrap two lengths of ribbon around the bottom border and add button detail. The ribbon I used here is a fascinating Maya Road rubber ribbon with gorgeous little arrow icons printed on it - it's so cool! Now mount this onto some gorgeous water printed paper, or something nice and bright blue and then onto a 7x7 white card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a close up detail where you can see the lovely sparkly glittery bits.</div>

Here is another of my samples for Rare Earth. Using the butterflies mask, I have inked with Broken China Distress and a dusting brush and as you can see, this gives a really soft, delicate effect. Then I stamped the sentiment and the frame onto glossy white card using the Clear Glass. Let this dry for a couple of minutes and then ink over with Broken China and Chipped Sapphire using the dusting brushes again, until the design pops through. Cut the centre panel out using rectangle dies, mount onto white card and replace in the centre of the frame, using foam pads for a bit of lift. Mount these layers onto a pale blue card, add a pretty ribbon and a few gems and your done.</div>

This card was made using the beautiful Rare Earth Rose stamp and matching die set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ink the distressed dots frame from the Live, Laugh, Love set with Bundled Sage, Victorian Velvet and Seedless Preserves Distress inks. Stamp onto white card and then cut as a frame using nesting square dies. Distress the edges of the frame with the same 3 colours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out and stamp the Rose using the Load n Fold stamping tool. Colour the rose with Victorian Velvet and Bundled Sage distress inks. Shape and build the rose to create a 3D flower with gel glue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mount on a spotty embossed panel and choose some complimentary papers to layer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finish off with ribbon knots, a punched border and tiny pearls.</div>

I inked a couple of pieces of white card with Forest Moss, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seed Distress inks, using the blending method.<br />
Then I die cut all the pieces for the lilies from these backgrounds. This is a really quick way to achieve coloured flowers and some randomness to that colouring.<br />
I used the Load n Fold to accurately stamp onto the die cut pieces.<br />
Before assembling the flowers, ink any exposed cut edges of white card, or these edges will show.<br />
Shape each flower on a soft mat and assemble with glue gel.<br />
Cut 2 mats from dark brown card and cream ribbed card.<br />
Assemble as shown.<br />
Stamp the sentiment onto some cream card, using the Load n Fold for perfect positioning. Cut a chevron into the end. Mount onto dark brown and chevron the end of that too. Shape into a wave and attach to the bottom of the card.<br />
Add a few random pearls to finish.The Stamp Padhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07859565725062007235noreply@blogger.com4
