Another Green Snowdrop


Yesterday when I was deciding what to do for the Feeling Green challenge card I stamped the same Elusive Images Snowdrop Script stamp onto some green card, then using stipple brush added some ink to adjust the colour of the card to a more yellowy green. I painted the image with Twinkling H2Os again - and yes Jo, incase you didn't see my reply to your comment in yesterday's blog post the white paint is an H2O. It's the colour called Oyster from kit #655 and the only one in that kit that does not have an inteference colour.

Today I edged my stamped image with some green ink and dipped it into some of the pearl Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder (Tropic Pearl Lustre) and heat set it. I made a matting layer from some ivory pearlescent card and stamped a border of little snowdrop flower heads using green ink and embossed these with more of the Cosmic Shimmer EP. The little Snowdrop flower head image is from the same Themeplate as the main image.

The main card is some ivory hammer card and I have used one of the paper designs from the Artylicious Damask Delights CD as a background on it. The paper was edged with some green ink and overstamped at the bottom corner with a large flourish stamp that comes from Creative Expressions and was designed by Sheena Douglas. The flourish is also embossed with the Cosmic Shimmer EP, but it was hard to catch the shimmer in the photo.

Glad I was still in Green mode today because I can include this card in the Anything Goes Challenge on Craft Swap Forum where the current theme is "Green"

  1. Phree, this is another lovely card. I'm so glad you've started posting again. I seem to be stuck in a 'sketch' rut and seeing all your lovely effects will hopefully help to get me out of it.

  2. I'm glad you've started posting again too Phree. It means you're feeling a lot better.

    I really love this card (slightly more than yesterday's). I think it's that gorgeous flourish that tips the scales in it's favour for me.

  3. Love the effect you've got with that EP. I'm off now to check if I have that colour. Not had a lot of success with the Cosmic Shimmers so far. Think I need to try it on some bolder stamps like this gorgeous flourish. Another great card!
