Gypsy Gypsy...

Happy Friday,


I'm sure you all know by now my addiction to paper and specifically paper packs!  Well I had to cut this one up to use ( Im sure I will be buying another to keep in my cupboard lol) so to work with todays stamp to die for I used these stunning papers form the Craft Consortium Gypsy Gypsy 12 x12 paper pack.

I stared by stamping the Damask Delight stamp to die for in perfect medium three times onto the reverse of the backing paper shown from the paper pack.  I added True White detail embossing powder from Cosmic Shimmer and heat set the images.  I cut them all out with the outline and the larger centre circle form the Maggie frames and tags set
( the same die set from yesterdays card) .  I added these in a buckle formation over a further piece form the pad, the reverse of the sheet I stamped on.  For the background piece I covered the whole sheet with a double sided adhesive sheet and added micro beads for texture and dimension.
I threaded through a piece of white silky crush ribbon over and under the layers like a buckle and then threaded through a stamped sentiment ( the same one as earlier in the week) this time stamped onto more of the reverse of the paper.

Finally a bow, stick pins, embellishment and a few more layers of foundation card and paper from the pack.



Ingredients:
Card Size: 25 x 30 cm
Colours: Coconut White, Sherbet foundation card & Craft Consortium 12 x 12 paper pack Gypsy, Gypsy
Stamps: Damask Delight stamp to die for
Dies: Maggie
Embossing:None
Inks: Jet Black archival ink, 
Embellishments: White silky crush ribbon, stick pin elements,

Enjoy...

  12. Morning John, another gorgeous card today, looks like a loot of work but well worth it. I like their papers too, and have got the 2 that Julia recommended a couple of weeks ago, the quality of the paper is superb, I have never seen anything like it before.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Love the papers you've used, the stamps and the dies. I bought the Theresa Collins paper pad that Sue bought out, but have never used it. I must try and use my paper pads.

  36. Oh dear John I am definitely in the minority here. The white stamping on the buckles is very effective but I can't say I like the background papers you have used. Love from Jackie xx
