Thecraftycardmaker: Shady Designs

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this card using stamps from Shady Designs by Louise Sims.

To begin I stamped the circles with a heart, from the Textures 2 stamp set, three times down the right hand side of the card using Wow! embossing ink. I then stamped the Those We Love stamp, with the same ink, four times on the card. I added a clear embossing powder to the stamping and tipped off the excess. I then heat set this.

Next, after shaking vigorously, I sprayed the Pretty Gets Gritty pretty amazing sprays - bittersweet orange and iced sunshine - onto the background. Using a piece of kitchen roll I dabbed any spray on the embossing to remove it. I then left this to dry naturally, so that the embossing doesn't get over heated.

Next I stamped the text stamp, from the remember that stamp set, using spiced marmalade distress oxide.

Then, using versafine clair nocturne, I stamped the diamond stamp from textures 2.

Next I added some of the circular flower from the remember that stamp set using spiced marmalade distress oxide.

On seperate card, I stamped the tree and vase from the remember that stamp set using versafine clair nocturne. I then coloured it with watercolour paints and colouring pencils. I then cut them out.
