Glittered Rose (posted by Claire)

Good morning, Claire here with a card made using the beautiful Mackintosh Windows stamp set. 


I've made a distress ink background and overstamped with one of the stamps from Mackintosh Windows and then matted on some black card. I stamped the focal image on acetate and embossed with black embossing powder. I coloured the image on the reverse with Graph'It markers and then added some double sided adhesive sheet. Next I peeled the backing off the adhesive sheet and applied Rock Candy gliltter. I layered the glittered image on a die cut square and added a strip of faux gems along the side of the image.

Thanks for visiting today

  3. This is very effective Claire - I love the way those faux gems really draw the eye & how your die-cut frame melds with the Art Deco design. Using the same stamp for the tone-on-tone background works beautifully here as it's actually not evident at first glance that it is the same stamp yet the eye registers it subconsciously.

  7. This is lovely. I like the DI background, and the inking is nicely varied so that it isn't just one flat colour. The focal image is layered on a pretty ornate S/B die cut mat which fits in perfectly, and the black stands out from the background. The idea of using acetate and colouring from behind like a stained glass window and the use of the fine glitter over the top makes for added interest. A really different card and beautiful too.
