Dotty Blooms


A really easy card to make but effective. The stamp is from The Stampman and was embossed in white powder and then cut out with a nestie. I left the cutting die in place while I coloured the circle using Distress Inks and my handmade colouring tool. Which is a square of wood with some protective furniture felt attached, a cheaper version than the Tim Holtz tool. I then removed the die and used the Distress inks to paint more colour onto the three flowers. The background layer is done in the same way using one of the single stamps on the stamp sheet. When I'd finished colouring I buffed up the embossing, this takes away any ink that might have been left on top of the embossing. The saying is from Elzybells and cut out using the nesties. All the layers were attached together and mounted onto a white card.
