A few weeks ago I created some samples for one of Julia's shows on Create and Craft using the Couture Creations 3-in-1 Sets from
Creative Expressions.
This card uses the
BUTTERFLY COLLECTION. The idea with the 3-in-1 sets is that you can stamp your design, emboss with coordinated embossing folder and cut with coordinated dies all contained within the 3-in-1 set.
I coloured my background with
Vintage Photo and
Peeled Paint Distress Inks and distress the edges to add to the aged feel. The focal image has been stamped with
Black Archival Ink. I also placed the stamp uppermost onto a flat surface, added a heart cookie cutter on top of the stamp and then poured
Black Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel into the cutter. I then highlighted the wonderful detail with
Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax.
I poured a puddle of Black Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel onto a
Non-Stick Craft Sheet and then pressed the stamp into the hot enamel to give me my dimensional embellishment.
I had a fantastic response to my last BLOG CANDY, the winner was drawn on Monday morning and the parcel has now been sent to (

What a fantastic candy Tracy!!!! Your candy would be a really
wonderful Christmas gift! Thanks for the chance and for your kind words
on my blog! BArbarayaya). I hope Barbara enjoys the goodies.
However I have been having another sort out of my craft room and I have another GIVEAWAY. I have some second hand stamps that need a new home, probably a small box full. If you are interested simply leave a comment below. Some stamps have only been used once. I will probably add some alterable items too. A little Christmas gift from me to you, my loyal followers. THANK YOU.
Thanks for stopping by. Tracy x x
The hot enamel to create that embellishment is sumptuous, so rich in texture.
ReplyDeleteThis card would be beautiful for either a man or a woman which is so difficult to achieve.
