Poppies with Bling

Evening Everyone,
Happy Monday.
I have fulfilled my Grandmotherly duties - collected the Twins from school - so I have spent the evening making a card as requested by one of the Girls from work.

She asked me to make a card for a relative of hers. No restrictions just that she likes red.

I have used one of the pieces that I made when playing with my EBosser and some fabulous Clarity Stencils.
I can't remember exactly what I did, but I know that I was cleaning up the ink from them by running them through the EBosser before I cleaned them under the tap.

It is not quite as barmy as it sounds because it transferred the ink to the cardstock and at the same time embossed the image which gives a fabulous look. I put the two stencils through together so that the dots become part of the pattern.
I coloured the dotty ribbon with the same Distress inks (Fired Brick and Barn Door) and then added a fancy ribbon slider to it.

I added some Gold Gilding Wax to the panel and also the dark red card which I also dry embossed with dots. Also a few tiny black dots and some gold nailheads. The greeting is from Lili of the Valley.

I even did a bit of stenciling on the envelope. Well it did help to clean off the brush that I had used lol.
I hope that she likes it. I guess that I will find out tomorrow lol.
I would like to enter it into the following challenge
Eureka Stamps - The colour red.
I would have tried a few more but my laptop is acting up again.
Every time I decide that I really must catch up with commenting and blog viewing it decides to go on strike.  I really don't know what I do to upset it so :O(
Night night and hugs

Poppy Stencil from Clarity

Evening Everyone,
A mega quick post tonight, I have been frantically trying to prep for my class tomorrow.
I was so cold at work at the beginning of the week that once I got home everything else took a back seat to getting warm. As a consequence I am very behind in all of my prep work.
I even had to bale on dinner with my Mum. Sorry Mum back to normal next week I hope......... unless it gets cold again lol.

This is a card that I made recently when playing with a couple of the fabulous stencils made by Clarity

 I ran them through my EBosser both at the same time and then added some dye based inks.

I think there may even have been ink on the stencil before I put it in the EBosser but as usual I didn't take notes at the time.

I have added a sentiment, also from Clarity and then brushed the image with gilding wax.

I had such fun that I have ended up with quite a few of these that just need some finishing touches.
Better get some sleep, and then I still have a few last minute bits to do for class.
Hugs Kimx
