Honey Doo Crafts Little Lilies and Leaves, Dream Sentiments stamp set

Morning crafters.

Sharing another of my first samples as guest designer on the Honey Doo DT.

I've used the
Little Lilies and Leaves stamp set
Dream Sentiments stamp set
Www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk

I cut the front off a card blank, leaving a strip at the top. I adhered acetate to the back of the strip to create an acetate front card blank. Using the cut off card stock,  I cut another strip and added this to the bottom of the acetate panel.

The flowers and leaves  were stamped and then coloured with Promarkers before being cut out.

These were then adhered along the top and bottom of the card strips , so they overlapped onto the acetate.

The sentiment was stamped and matted and then attached to the middle of the acetate.

Thankyou for popping by and would love you to follow my blog to see all my future design team makes, as well as my own cards and crafts.

The jar was subtly watercoloured to create the impression of glass. The toadstool house and plant were stamped and coloured using acrylic paints. I stamped the dragonflies and sentiment in black versafine.
The grasses were stamped onto a paper from the Perfectly Natural Background paper pad and cut out before using 3d glue gel to stick onto the card

I stamped and heat embossed the plane and compass onto heat resistant acetate, and used the smaller stamps to embellish the front piece of card stock.  I edged all mats with gilding wax before assembling the sample.
