The stamping is all done with black Versafine embossed with clear powder and water coloured with Distress Inks. The colours I used are Fired Brick, Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone and Peeled Paint. The main image is stamped, painted and mounted on Spellbinders die cuts and I masked off the strip to do the stamping then painted the strip and did a squiggly line down the sides with a black micron pen for definition. The swirl is cut using the Daisy die set from Sweet Dixie and I added some black stones for a bit of sparkle.

Hi Chris - sorry I am so late in commenting, I do not know where the time has gone. I think I must be asleep half of the day.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful card. Love the way you have incorporated that strip down the side - it works so well with that delightful image. The swirl and the black stones just finish it off perfectly.
