Libby's Craft Studio: Gilded Leafing Thinking of You Card

Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #406.

For my "Thinking of You" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Everlasting Beauty, Go To Greetings & Layering Leaves Stamp Sets along with Glorious Gingham DSP.

For my card base I used Berry Burst cardstock. The next layers are Basic White cardstock and Glorious Gingham DSP which were adhered together and adhered onto the card base with dimenisonals.

The Berry Burst cardstock strip was adhered across the center of the card with a layer of coordinating DSP from the Glorious Gingham paper pack and lastly, a layer of Basic White cardstock.

Lots of layers going on here.

The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set, stamped using Lemon Lime Twist ink, trimmed and adhered with dimensionals.

The floral image is from the Everlasting Beauty Stamp Set, inked with Berry Burst ink. Wink of Stella was brushed onto the flowers for a little sparkle.

The dotted image is from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, using Lemon Lime Twist ink.

Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments finish off my card.

One half of the Basic White was embossed using the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder.

Next, I smoothed Versamark ink over the raised areas and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. (The Versamark ink ended up covering most of the embossed cardstock, but that worked fine for me).

Finally, I squeezed a small amount of liquid adhesive onto a scrap paper (I could've used my Silicone Mat, but the scrap paper was closer at that moment) and using my finger, dabbed it onto the raised portions of the embossing. I added the Gold Gilded Leafing onto the adhesive and rubbed it off with a sponge and also used my fingers to make sure it was adhered well. I really loved how the gold added a little more color on that side of the cardstock.

As always, I added DSP on the envelope flap. I also stamped the flower image on the front of the envelope.

Inside my card is a layer of DSP and Basic White Cardstock. I stamped the same image inside the card and added speckles around it.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
