Kylie's International Highlights/Winners Blog Hop

Hello again everyone. Well I'm very pleased to announce that with much thanks to all of you who voted for me in the Kylie Bertucci International highlights blog this month, I've managed to come in the top 10 and I'm therefore doing Kylie's blog hop with herself and 9 other very talented ladies, who also managed to come in the top 10, so well done to all!!. I'm so excited and also very grateful. The card I'm sharing with you all today is using products from the mini catalogue, the annual catalogue and also a sentiment from one of the stampsets from the sale-a-bration catalogue which will soon be coming to and end on 28th February, so if you'd like anything from it you'll have to be quick, remember items are free with qualifying orders of £45.

Card Instructions

1. Fold and burnish the card base.

2. Dry emboss the soft seafoam piece of card using the embossing folder and glue onto the front of the card base.

3. Stamp the basic white card piece for the inside of card, using the brush effect images, alternating the colours - Soft seafoam and Highland heather, glue the finished piece into the card inside.

4. Die cut the two different colours of card using the brush stroke effect die, if you make sure that it's die cut in the centre, you can then use these two pieces for two other cards(waste not want not as they say).

5. Now with the basic white piece of card for the front of card layer, place one of the coloured die cut templates over the top (don't glue it this is just to give you a guide), having removed the pieces that have cut out from it. With the larger pieces place glue on the back and place the matching pieces into the gaps of the template. Alternate the colours, you will only fit 4 onto the card layer and you can use the one template for both colours as they are both the same. The smaller pieces if you wish to use these then I used the Fine tip glue pen to put glue into the gaps and then my take your pick tool to place the matching pieces into place.

6. Stamp and die cut all of the flowers and leaves required, to get the lighter flowers I just stamped off twice using the same ink, that way you get a dark and a light one (for the leaves I've used Pear pizzazz ink onto soft seafoam card oooooops meant to use the matching ink, but I thought it still looked nice so didn't change it lol).

7. Give all of the flowers and leaves a slight curve using a bone folder and then glue into place, the larger flowers I have placed stampin' dimensionals on the back to give them a bit of height lifting them above the smaller ones.

8. Stamp the sentiment from Heal your Heart (free sale-a-bration item) one in Pear pizzazz and then another in Highland heather and then using my snips I cut one word from each colour and glued into place.

9. Place rhinestone jewels onto the card piece and then glue the whole thing onto the front of the card base.

Card finished I loved making this card, I hope you like it?. Once again thankyou so much to all those who voted for me making it possible for me to take part in this blog hop. Please now hop onto all of the other ladies blogs and see what fantastic projects they have to share with you all.

Take care till next time
