Black and Cream by Barb - Featuring The Bracket Birthday and Inspirational Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

For those of you who went to Doncaster Dome yesterday I hope you managed to stop and say 'hello' to Phill and watch his demo's.



Today's card is one of my favourites and was made as a sample for Phill's  HOCHANDA  show last week.


Product Used:-
which can all be found on Phill's Website:-  www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

8 x 8 Cream Card Blank
Cream Card Stock
Black Card Stock
Sentimentally Yours Bracket Verse A5 Stamp Set
Sentimentally Yours Inspiration A5 Stamp Set
Black Soot Distress Ink Pad
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels Glacier Ice
Creative Expressions Finishing Touches Cream Pearls
Sue Wilson Peony Dies
Sue Wilson Petite Vinery Die
Tartan Trellis Embossing Folder
Spellbinder Bracket Border 2 Dies
Spellbinders Flutters
Dazzlers



This is how I made it :-

8 x 8  Cream Card Blank
 Black Card Stock cut to 7.75 sq and attached flat to the card blank.

I then cut a piece of cream card stock to 5.75 x 6.5
and black card stock to 5.5 x 6 and attached both of these flat to the card.

Next I cut a piece of Cream card stock to 5.25 x 6
and using the Border Die I placed this at an angle and cut it out.

Using the Bracket Birthday Verse Stamp I stamped this using Black Soot Distress Ink, then used the Tartan Trellis Embossing Folder to emboss.

I then trimmed this down to fit before attaching to the card using pads to give dimension.

Next I cut a strip of Cream Card Stock to 5.75 x 1.25
and Stamped this using a stamp from the Brackets of Inspiration. I then embossed it using the Tartan Trellis attached this to the card using pads.
I then cut a strip of cream card to 7.5 x  1.75 and embossed before I attached to the right of the card  again using pads.


 Finishing Touches

I added Cream Pearls to the edge of the border below the sentiment, and cut a butterfly from the Spellbinder Flutters die and used Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels on the wings. I also added a butterfly from a Sue Wilson Die.

Using the Peony Die I cut several of these out, shaped and attached to the card, then added leaves from the Petite Vinery dies.

I then added Glacier Ice to the petals and finally finished with a Dazzler to the centre of the flowers.

                      Happy Crafting.

  6. Lovely Card Barb - Phill was singing your praises at Doncaster yesterday. I must admit this type of card, where you have sections and each section is different, is my go to layout. I can see me having a go at this card, though I don't have that die or stamps in my collection.
