Delicate Stepper card.





Good morning friends, followers and callers by..




Sharing a stepper card with you today,  delicate colours  and  the beautiful  "Delicate Mum" Poppy stamp new die.

DT card for  Poppy Stamp dies....http://poppystamps.typepad.com/  







I started with the background, using memory box  "Hearts heart confetti stencil" , using  Sparkle  gel medium through the stencil....dabbed  a touch of distress ink "Tattered rose" on the  glitter hearts when dry..
also inked and glittered the edges. 







After I cut two  poppy die Delicate mum, using a palette knife on my glass mat (or craft sheet) I used the sparkle medium to spread on these blooms ,   it is a rough texture compared with glue and glitter. so holds it shape..
Tiny decorative heart top  left .. I cut three from Open studio "Cross stitch My heart" die, score in the middle of each, join together with glue.
Stick pins I made myself, placed these  in loopy bow of seam binding, pearl heart to finish.





I just added Love as a sentiment.. I can use this card for many occasions.. Wedding..Birthday..etc 
Dry embossed in a folder two side panels and added pearls.

Thank you for calling today...hope you have a wonderful day..Pam

Sorry another Sympathy card today, I have made two of this design..For my box till needed..

A lovely comment was left on my last card, saying she thinks this is when a handmade card should be done!! I totally agree..When I lost my parents the comfort I gained from friends who sent me a handmade card is hard to explain, just knew they were with their for me..
But I also understand those that cannot make a card, as they find it too upsetting.

The cards are for a very special family we have known for over 45 years.. (hope you understand)

I have done this bit of a tutorial as some did not understand my one.. how to emboss in a folder with your cutting die in place..

                                                                                     
                                                                       
  This is the card which has been die cut.....


 Turn over Cutting edge up

 Place in a folder..Die Cutting edge up..

Folder open..add tan embossing mats and one clear plate.

Run through your die cutting machine..
 After is has been embossed  

This is how it looks..with your die outline around the edge..
