International Highlights - Blossoming Basket Bundle

Hello everyone 😊

I am taking part today in the International Blog Highlights hosted by Kylie Bertucci

This involves demonstrators from all around the world coming together to share what they love with you in the one place.

Kylie hosts these highlights every month and has a different theme for each highlight.

This months theme is our Favourite Sale-A-Brations or Occasions item from the 2018 catalogues.

 I chose a Sale-A-Bration second release bundle that is now available called Blossoming Basket.

For my card I used an antiquing effect with the new  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for a stunning background.
Adding the white space with the same texture as the background behind the floral basket image helps seperate the layers and give each a  distinct energy, yet they still flow together seamlessy.

Antiqued Gold Embossing 

• To create this effect emboss the card stock then dust with embossing bu   ddy pillow. 
• Lightly wipe versamark inkpad over embossed area, spronkle with gold embossing powder, heat. 
• Wipe the area again with memento ink and gently rub in with a tissue, reheat to seal.

I also used the Basket Weave TIEF for the focal circle behind the basket of flowers.

My card base is Thick Whisper White with a layer of  embossed Sahara Sand. Behind the whisper white embossed circle is a scalloped gold foil circle. I stamped my flower basket in memento ink,

I then coloured the basket using my Stamin' Blends  and finally I fussy cut it.

Gosh I do love those Stampin' Blends, they are just so easy to use and give such vibrant colours. The colour lifter is so useful too! I used it for removing mistakes plus adding extra highlights on the flowers and the basket too!

To carry the colour through to the inside I just added a layer of Sahara Sand under a layer of whisper white and glued both to the inside to my card base.

To finish my card I added linen thread plus 6 pearl basic jewels. They just add a little delicateness that was needed to finish.
