This is the second card I made using the lovely stamps by Ann Butler (Unity Stamps Co), I've stamped with a glue pad and guilded over it, coloured in using panpastels then matted and used a wooden embellishments adding a banner (HOTP template).
This is a picture where you can see the result after guilding the stamped images with guilding flakes.
The lovely Ann Butler sent me a couple of her latest gorgeous mini stamp sets : Diamonds and Plaid plus Leaves All Over.
I've created the background combining the square stamps and also created the banner. Then I embossed in white with the triangular matching leaves one, on the turquoise cardstock so I could create a flower with the various triangular shapes !
It's definitely a different type of card and I appreciate it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I've enjoyed the process and I hadn't 'quilled' for a while so that got me back into doing that again.
I was honoured and tickled pink to have been asked by the lovely Hayley West and Nigel to make the samples for the new launch of their brand new CD Mimic Creations with a myriad of fun characters/caricature of well known celebs and actors. It's great for all ages and if you're stumped when making cards for young adults or teenagers then you'll reach for this paper crafting CD again and again.
I had a hiccup with my printer and couldn't print the background papers so that pushed my creativity to the limit to come up with something decent, I've shown this cards already on my facebook page and they were well received. I hope you won't miss the opportunity of winning your very own copy of Mimic Creations and you'll have up to the end of May to enter, the more tasks you do (twitter post, following on twitter etc.. the more entries you gain so more chances to win really lol).
Good luck and enjoy my samples hoping they will inspire you ! :)
