Hi Everyone,
These are the two cards we made at the Technique of the Month class earlier this month. The technique is the Fossil Stone technique. It is such a simple technique and gives so many different results everytime you do it. When we made these cards everyone's cards turned out different even though we all used the same ink colours.
The colours for the first card are Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Whisper White, with some old olive ink for the swirls in there too. We made the Fossil Stone background pattern on Gloss White cardstock and then using the Big Shot and Bigz XL Flower Folds die made the flower. In the centre of the flower we used the scalloped circle punch a circle punch (embossed with the SU Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder), then right in the middle is the small flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch set, which is still available, carried over from the Summer mini catalogue. In the background you can see the Baroque Motifs swirly stamp and more of the small flower punches with small pearls on them. The ribbon is Daffodil Delight satin ribbon.
The next card we put the Fossil stone technique on to the card front and onto a seperate piece of White Gloss Cardstock, where we later stamped the surfer (Extreme Surfboard) and the greeting (Bring on the Cake). The cardstock used were Gloss White, Whisper White, Old Olive & Marina Mist. The inks were Certainly Celery, Marina Mist, Old Olive & Stazon Black. The Marina Mist Stampin' Write Marker was used to colour in the word Birthday. I used the Big Shot and the Bigz XL Tasteful Trim die for the trim at the bottom of the card.
Hope you like these cards. The next technique class is on Tuesday 5th July. There are still some places available if you are interested, please get in touch.
Bye for Now!
