cuts i rarely think to include scoring on my card but scs showcased a scoring technique that allows you to create a shaped scored area i used washi to hold the larger of the label dies in place scored the white panel then used two sizes of dies to create the frame and adhered it so the scoring showed through the frame to decorate the frame it was run through a swiss dot ef to give more texture many flowers were die cut from snippets of yellow lavender pink and green cardstock then layered on top of each other to create the flowers and leaves snippets were also used for the blue frame and mat

season the weather here has been crazy record setting warm one day freezing the next daffodils and flowering trees are starting to bud and i m afraid a hard freeze is going to come along and spoil all that spring beauty since spring might be on the way my thoughts turned to birds i haven t used this io hummingbird image in a long time so i brought it out at first i tried doing a marker spritz version to get a watercolored look but it just wasn t working in the end i stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolors for the background panel i used the technique where you ink up the ef run the paper through and get color on the debossed areas i m sure there s a name for it all the papers used on this card are snippets mostly in shades of green that seem more harmonious irl

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday march 11 2026 vintage rust i got a piece of stamplorations new collage papers and decided to go vintage on a card this paper is from the faded botanicals set since the flower is so pretty i wanted to leave it largely visible i used sentiments from stamploration s bloomfully remember stamp set stamped and heat embossed with an old embossing powder i have called woven tapestry from personal stamp exchange it gives a slightly faded distressed look to the sentiment and around the edges of the panel to add to the vintage feel i tried doing a faux rust technique i found a youtube video that called for acrylic paint glue and cinnamon to create faux rust but the result is an overall rust effect see photo to the right and i didn t want that much rust so i decided to create my own technique i took chipboard covered it with versamark then applied silver ep and heated it then i mixed white glue with some brown and orange flocking material oh the goodies i have stashed away applied it to the edges of the chipboard and let it dry it s passable rust if i do it again i d add more of the orange flocking cinnamon would work too but since i have this flocking i ll nver use for anything else why not use it this card is entered in these challenges stamplorations anything goes word art wednesday 742 anything goes pammie s
