Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm

I just love all the shades of green in this photo and I am really looking forward to spring.

I made a card using products from the Good Luck Charm release.

One of the new products is Black Glossy Cardstock and since I really like gloss cardstock, I had to try it out. The background has a fun textured effect, using the Wavy Circles background stamp, Distress Oxide ink and clear embossing. The sentiment comes from the Spring Stems set.

Ink the Wavy Circles stamp with two shades of Distress Oxide ink and then stamp on the black glossy cardstock. The combination of large solid areas on the background stamp and Oxide ink on the glossy cardstock will create a distressed and textured effect since the ink will not transfer perfectly to the background. Emboss with clear embossing powder. Always be very careful when using a heat tool and never touch the melted powder until it has cooled down completely.

I used to like to add decorative corners to photos and cards in my early days of papercrafting and was happy to see this new Card Corners die set. You get six different corner designs. I used one of them together with silver kraft cardstock.

Die cut the Dreamy Daisy Layers from heavystock paper and from old book paper.

Sand the edges of the card corners and ink with brown ink. Mount the glossy layer on kraft and then on folded mint cardstock. Layer the flowers together.

I made one of the flowers larger than the other.

The two-toned effect with the clear embossing and all that texture looks nice on the black glossy background.

The flowers from Dreamy Daisy Layers can be layered and arranged in many different ways. I will enjoy using this set for dimensional flowers.



Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by here today! I will see you again tomorrow. 

Happy crafting!
