My first attempt at the Velveteen stamping technique

Today's card is for the Hero Arts March challenge.  It has flowers on it and I also wanted to make a card using the Velveteen stamping technique.  I had watched Shari Carroll's video a couple of days ago and I was trying the technique from memory.  It wasn't until after I made it, I realised that I didn't quite follow her instructions properly.  

I white embossed the Old French writing image first (instead of just stamping it with white pigment ink),  Then I stamped the flowers on top of this. (I will have to make another card and try the technique again.)  I mounted the stamped image onto hot pink card.  I added the twine and the sentiment also edged in the hot pink card.  I added some butterflies punched from the hot pink card that I had dry embossed with the D'vine swirl cuttlebug folder.  I sponged the edge of my white card with the pink ink and mounted the stamped image onto this.   Lastly I added kindy glitz to the centre of the flowers.

This card is larger than what I usually make as I need a bigger card so there is enough for many people to write their birthday greetings. It is approximately 6" x 8".


This is also for the Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes Challenge
