Live In The Moment

Time for a few peeks at Sheena Douglass' new stamp ranges, the first of which is the Silhouette Grasses and my first card uses the floral meadow type image. Sheena's shows are on Create and Craft on 18th July at 8am and Ideal World at midday.

I love these umbelliferous type images and I really enjoyed creating this card using Sheena's new stamps. The background was created with Distress Inks broken china and faded jeans.  I simply applied the ink to my non-stick craft sheet, spritzed with water and mopped up the beads of ink with my card, heat setting before each application of ink.

My floral image has been stamped with manganese blue archival ink and I have added white highlights with a gel pen.  For added dimension I have stamped the image once again onto a strip of card to fit a microscope slide and added to a memory frame, attaching a Philosophy tag attached with jump rings.  I have added silver paint dabber to the Philosophy tag to coordinate with my memory frame.

For further interest I have added a mini bird and the fabulous sentiment "Live in the Moment" to the bottom corner.  Faux stitching completes my first card in this series.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Tracy x x
