Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Karen of
A lovely theme, don't you think? I have had this stamp, a long while and thought it perfect for this subject. A dragonfly.
My mind went off on a tangent and I thought of stamping on acetate, I have had the heat acetate for many years and had a hunt, where I thought it was, and thankfully it was. I stamped and heat embossed in gold, then cut around it.
The first step complete, what do I do next, you may know by now I am not a planner with my cards, I just go with the flow, so to speak. I thought of the colours of a dragonfly, so added DO ink to my glass mat, sprayed with water and placed my card onto it, I was thrilled with the result of just one pressing.
I wasn't too keen on the sentiments with the stamp, so went looking for a simple one and came across this, it was stamped with Stazon. Then the card was cut with a die, the dragonfly was glued onto it and was 3D'd to the card base.
What a great idea stamping that gorgeous Dragonfly onto acetate Faith, works so nicely to achieve a light and fresh feel over the soft inky backround.

Wow - this is stunning. Such a simple design but paired with the acetate stamping of the dragonfly it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. I love the heat embossing with the smooched background. Just gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteThe gold embossed dragonfly looks absolutely amazing paired up with that gorgeous background, Faith!
ReplyDeleteDoncha love it when it works the first time? I'm in awe that you got that stamped on acetate, I seem to smudge when I try it. But hey, if you used Versamark, it is sticky. I need to get some heat-resistant acetate, I guess. xoxo
