Cherish Today

It's my turn up today to share a few of the new products up in the Quietfire store this month.  We have a brand new backround stamp called the "Leafy Acanthus Backround" and i paired it up with a new Quietfire die called "Cherish".   It's simple to do so keep reading for a quick tutorial for it.....    

So to create this card you will need black cardstock and colors to coordinate with it.  I used gold and turquoise to go with the embossing powder.  To try something new i stamped with versamark ink and then used kaleidoscope embossing powder on it.  This created a fun muli-colored backround to put my gold die cut on.   

Start by stamping the ink on black card and then sprinkle the embossing powder on it and use a heat tool to set it.  Cut around it to your desired size.

This is what the transition from not embossed to how the colors change.  It's really fun and you never really get the same look because of the colors in the embossing powder.  Dark paper is best but it will also work on colored papers.  

Once i matted the paper i went ahead and cut 2 pieces of the Cherish die.  One in a soft muted gold and another in the turquoise that i use for the mat on the black.  This made the die pop really nice.

Then i used a fine line adhesive pen and glued it on my card.  For the today i had a tiny word piece and glued that right under the die cut.  Then i glued all of it together and to the card back to finish.

And here is a closeup of the LeafyAcanthus Backround stamp.  It's beautiful and you can really use this for alot of different things.  Be sure and stop by the store to check out all the new things this month  HERE... you will love them.
