Decadent Oak - Featuring the New Timeless Birthday Verse Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all for your lovely comments and messages on my previous post.

Today's card is a quick and easy one made using the New Timeless Birthday Verse Stamps and a few other products.




Products Used:- All of which are available on Phills website:-
www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

White Card Stock
Timeless Birthday Verse A5 Stamps
Decadent Oak Mister Spray
Decadent Oak Gilding Wax
Decadent Oak Pearl P.V.A. Glue
Ancient Copper Embossing Powder
Sue Wilson Dies - New York Collection - Madison Square

Card Front

Using plain white card stock I began by cutting the layers as follows:-

1st - 7.75 square
2nd - 7.5 square
3rd - 7.25 square
4th - 6.5 square
5th - 5.5 square

Using the second layer I sprayed this with the Oak Mister Spray, then while it was drying I coloured the edges of the 3rd and 5th  layers using Oak Gilding Wax.

Next using layer 4 and the extra stamps included in the Birthday Verse Stamps, I heat embossed around the edges using the Ancient Copper Embossing Powder.
I then attached them all  flat to the 1st layer.

Sentiment


Using the Madison Square Die and the largest of the set I cut this out using plain white card.
Again I used Ancient Copper Embossing Powder to emboss the Birthday Verse and also used the extra stamps in the pack to decorate the corners.

I then attached this using pads to give dimension.

Finally I added Oak Pearl P.V.A. Glue around the edge.

This is now ready to attach to an 8 x 8 card blank.

Finally I added the pearl corners and a small dazzler to the centre of each flower.

1st Layer
I cut a piece of plain white card to 7.75 square, then I used Frosty Heather Gilding Wax  around the edges.

Using a sheet of Frosty Heather Christmas Paper I cut this to 7.5 square and then attached both layers
to the main card.

Next I cut 2 pieces of plain white card to 2" x 7.75 then using the Border Die I cut them both out before Embossing them with the Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder. I then attached both to the card.

Sentiment

For the Sentiment I used a Verse from the Christmas Holly Verse Collection and heat embossed it using Silver Embossing Powder.
I then attached this to the card using pads.



Finishing Touches

I added Frosty Heather P.V.A. Pearls to the centre of the snowflakes, and Frosty Heather Twinkles to the edges of the border and around the edges of the sentiment.
Then making sure the ribbon wad dry I made a triple bow with swags and added this using a large Dazzler.

I then cut these out using the Border Die. Once this was complete I glued all three strips together.
Cutting a piece of White Seam Binding and using the Frosty Blue Colour Cloud I dyed the Seam Binding to match the card. At this stage I also dyed enough Seam Binding to make a double bow. Once this was dry I added the strip of Seam Binding to the strips of card before attaching this to the main card.

I made a double bow and a tie bow for the strip of seam binding and added dazzlers to each.
Along the edges of the Border Die I used Frosty Sky Twinkles, when this was dry I curled each edge.

Finally I added the insert using the New Christmas Holly Paper pad matching insert and a verse from the Christmas Holly Verse Collection.

Taking the 2nd layer I sprayed this with Mister Spray, and while it was drying (which is only a few seconds) I embossed the 3rd layer. I then attached these to the card using pads on the 2nd layer to give dimension.
I then did the die cutting on the 5th layer and trimmed it down to leave a small border.

Using the lovely New Scribbled Corner Stamps 
I stamped the top 2 corners then attached both of these layers to the card, using pads on the burgundy layer. I then added P.V.A. around the curve.  
For the Topper I used an off cut from the Decadent Damask  Paper.
The Sentiment was stamped using Distress Ink




Flowers


Again using off cuts I cut out the fronds and daisies.            
I added Gilding Wax to the centre of the daisies before
shaping and gluing. Once I was happy with the shape I
added them to the card and finally added the Twinkles.
